Set in the historic Chumash village of Hel\u2019apunitse at the mouth of Tecolote Canyon, the Bacara is one of the state\u2019s most sought-after beach retreats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In anticipation of the silver jubilee, the hotel owners wanted the guest spaces and grounds to appeal to the next generation of travelers and in 2024 enlisted globally acclaimed design firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meyerdavis.com\/\">Meyer Davis<\/a> to lead the sizable metamorphosis. The New York-based firm is known for their timeless and refined approach to design, which was what the property called for. \u201cOur goal was to create an experience that felt deeply connected to the land and the culture of California\u2019s Central Coast,\u201d says Will Meyer, cofounder of Meyer Davis. \u201cWe were inspired by the layered histories of the region\u2014the people, the architecture and the natural environment that have shaped this stretch of coastline over time. The design became a very immersive narrative, one that honors the spirit of \u2018escape\u2019 that defines Santa Barbara.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-1024x683.jpeg\" alt class=\"wp-image-96874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-2048x1366.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201024%20683%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt class=\"wp-image-96874 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201024%20683%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-2048x1366.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rz-sbarz-marisella-outdoor-22493_Classic-Hor-1024x683.jpeg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Marisella by Chef Danny Grant is where the Amalfi Coast meets California\u2019s land and sea in one menu. Photos by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.starrfoto.com\/\">Ron Starr.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From every guest room to the corner of every cabana, no design detail was left unconsidered. The overall color palette and material selections are influenced by the surrounding landscape, bridging the natural and built environments. \u201cThe original architecture draws from the early haciendas of the Californios, and we wanted the interiors to feel like a natural extension of that language,\u201d explains Zoe Pinfold, senior associate at Meyer Davis. \u201cThe arched openings, sculptural forms and earthy palette reflect the building\u2019s Spanish influences, while the materials build on that foundation to create a dialogue between old and new. We drew inspiration from the early tastemakers who helped shape the region into the American Riviera, infusing the interiors with a relaxed glamour that feels effortless. Within the guest rooms and suites, carved stone, aged leathers and natural woven textures echo the architecture\u2019s craftsmanship, and area rugs inspired by Chumash motifs and head- boards upholstered in custom fabrics by <a href=\"https:\/\/ericashamrocktextiles.com\/\">Erica Shamrock<\/a>\u2014which take cues from Californios horse blankets\u2014introduce a piece of history through pattern and texture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guests are enveloped in the property\u2019s magic when entering the lobby and public areas, which flow seamlessly into open-air courtyards and terraces while grounding their stay with tall planted palms, ambient lighting and warm terracotta tiles. \u201cThe most defining aspect of the redesign is the seamless relationship between the interiors and their surroundings\u2014what we think of as a new welcome that\u2019s truly rooted in place,\u201d says Meyer. \u201cFrom the moment guests arrive, it\u2019s designed to feel less like stepping into a hotel lobby and more like entering an old friend\u2019s casita\u2014warm, open and connected to the landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-1024x683.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-96870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201024%20683%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt class=\"wp-image-96870 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201024%20683%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-Bedroom-Suite-Ocean-View-Balcony-1024x683.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This one-bedroom guest suite features art by Valero Doval and Mahalo Studio, against sweeping views from the private balcony. <br>Photos by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.starrfoto.com\/\">Ron Starr.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The guest rooms feel as if they were carved out of stone yet are softened with natural woven textures and custom textiles by Christopher Farr and Erica Shamrock. The Meyer Davis team partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewalls.com\/\">Indiewalls<\/a> to curate the art program throughout. \u201cAt its core, this collection draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of historical influences that have shaped Santa Barbara\u2019s cultural landscape,\u201d says Gibson Banta, senior curator at Indiewalls. \u201cFrom the indigenous Chumash tribe who revered the land\u2019s natural beauty to the Spanish settlers who brought their bespoke craftsmanship, each piece reflects a reimagined narrative of the past, blending tradition with the laid-back sophistication of coastal living. As you journey through this curated ensemble, you\u2019ll find yourself immersed in a world where every stroke of creativity is a tribute to the boundless wonders of Santa Barbara.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remote destination is also highly celebrated for its dynamic food and beverage and luxury spa programs. Guests can enjoy five restaurant venues\u2014Lulio, \u2018O\u2019 Bar &amp; Terrace, Marisella, Mission Market, and SunBar\u2014appealing to many appetites. From Mediterranean-inspired coastal cuisine to relaxed poolside dining, each concept has been fine-tuned to express a sense of place through both menu and design, celebrating the connection between the land and sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-1024x683.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-96873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201024%20683%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt class=\"wp-image-96873 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201024%20683%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RC_SBARZ_1BRSuite_Fireside_PartialOV_Patio_2217-1024x683.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Guests can find the ultimate in privacy when staying in suites with ocean-view terraces.
