Casa Iglesia
Erected in 1924 as the hallowed home of the First Christian Church, this architectural landmark stands as a timeless testament to a heritage dating back to 1888. In June 2026, its magnificent doors swung open to a new chapter, welcoming travelers eager to immerse themselves in the coastal allure of Santa Barbara. Now known as Casa Iglesia, the estate strikes a sublime balance between eras—faithfully preserving its historic soul on the outside while unveiling a world of curated luxury and seamless high-tech sophistication within.
Featuring a combination of 37 accommodation types, including Studios, Loft Apartments, and two-bedroom Apartments. In a masterstroke of design, a portion of the original roof was removed to unveil a central, open-air atrium. This shared guest sanctuary is filled with lush, curated greenery, offering guests a serene escape under the California sky.

“I was looking for a place for a family of four for a family reunion and this place hit all the marks. It’s practically new and really well kept. Parking was easy and the there is an elevator to get up to the 3rd floor. The loft space is wide open and and everything is very new. Close to town and the 101 which makes it very accessible. Overall, great stay and highly recommended. ”

“We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Iglesia! The property feels brand new and has such a modern, clean, and upscale atmosphere from the moment you arrive. Everything about the space felt thoughtfully designed, stylish, and incredibly well maintained. The room was spotless, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay in Santa Barbara. We especially appreciated how fresh and updated everything felt without losing that welcoming touch that makes a place feel comfortable instead of overly formal. The self check-in process was seamless and made arriving so easy after a long day of traveling. Parking was convenient, communication with the hosts was excellent, and the location made it easy to explore downtown, restaurants, and nearby attractions. Casa Iglesia truly stands out from other places we’ve stayed in Santa Barbara. The combination of modern design, cleanliness, and convenience made this one of our favorite trips yet, and we would absolutely stay here again!”
