The IC seeks to uphold the qualities that made Hotel Oceana a classic, and Hotel Milo will do exactly that: bring back personality, charm, and whimsy to the hotel experience. Hotel Milo will receive additional streamlined enhancements to emphasize the more classic qualities of the property, similar to other hotels in the Collection, such as The Graham Georgetown, or The Boxer Boston. Guests are invited to explore the courtyard gardens, cycle along the beach, or simply enjoy a glass of wine from a local winery. Tapping into the local nostalgia for simpler times, Hotel Milo will be the embodiment of the city’s luxurious, beach-friendly community. By the 1920s, guests started to permanently reside and create a real community where there was not one previously.ĭedicated to honoring the aspects that made each of the IC hotels a unique and classic staple to their respective locales, Hotel Milo is a nod to the elements of Santa Barbara that make it such a coveted travel destination. Guests would check in for month-long stays and soon began to take a serious interest in the city of Santa Barbara. This large beachside resort attracted visitors from all over especially those coming from L.A. In 1903, just two years after his arrival in what is now Santa Barbara, he opened Hotel Potter in the very same spot where the IC’s newest hotel now sits. Milo Potter was not only the city’s first true hotelier, but was pivotal to the development of Santa Barbara as a city.
In the spirit of the IC, the hotel’s new name is drawn from Santa Barbara history. “What has impressed me most about Hotel Oceana, and now Hotel Milo, is both the richness of the history and the vibrancy of the community.” Hotel Milo guests will have essential Santa Barbara experiences at their fingertips, such as the Urban Wine Trail, the Funk Zone and those beautiful white sand beaches,” said Foiz Ahmed, vice president of the Independent Collection. “This new name really speaks to the essence of the Independent Collection, which at its heart, is all about the neighborhoods in which our hotels are located. The hotel will officially become Hotel Milo Santa Barbara on May 1st, but a new website showcasing the name, has already launched. The IC consists solely of design-conscious hotels in culturally-rich, niche neighborhoods of the iconic cities in which they are located.

If the engineer had left already not a problem, just call me and let me know. The next day, they sent the engineer to fix the air conditioner, with the a/c high there was air movement but it barely worked.Īs a customer, I don't like being lied to, don't tell me something not true and then disappear.
I was told the engineer was gone for the day as well. I went back to the office, and the employee I spoke with earlier was now gone and a new desk person was working. The employee told me he would send the engineer right now.Īs my room was about 40 feet from the office, 30 min later no one showed up. The air conditioning was not working right, I went to the office to advise the desk there was a problem. The hotel is old and can hear people's conversations through the walls in the rooms next to you. There is 90 min street parking that is posted from 9 am to 6 pm.
