Courtyard Santa Barbara Downtown's Saint Remy Restaurant!
Santa Barbara, California has welcomed its newest
hotel, Courtyard Santa Barbara Downtown, a Courtyard by Marriott hotel, and Saint Remy
restaurant on December 26, 2022. Behind the reinvented hotel is Andrew Firestone, former star
of ABC’s The Bachelor and co-founder with Jess Parker of StonePark Capital, a Santa Barbara-based hospitality development company. Following a complete transformation, the 122-room modern, coastal hotel is located in the heart of everything the American Riviera has to offer. Saint Remy will join the local dining scene, featuring a laid-back retro-inspired design and offering Mediterranean coastal cuisine with a locally-sourced menu. The property is managed by Azul Hospitality Group, a San Diego based hospitality management platform focused primarily on lifestyle hotels and resorts.
"As Santa Barbara natives, Jess and I are thrilled to re-introduce this classic downtown hotel
with timeless mid-century architecture and style,” says Andrew Firestone, co-founder of
StonePark Capital. “We are also proud to partner with Azul Hospitality to bring to life the first
Marriott branded hotel to the city of Santa Barbara."
The hotel’s spacious guest rooms combine comfort with functionality and sweeping balcony
views of the Santa Ynez Mountains and Pacific Ocean. The well-appointed rooms have a
modern design and feature spacious guest baths, walk-in showers and large vanities. Each
room includes a mini refrigerator, high-speed internet access, flat screen TVs and coffee
makers. There are also two-room suites available, complete with a wet bar and conference
table.
Courtyard Santa Barbara Downtown features a lush pool, whirlpool, firepit, and two large rooftop
decks, both offering sweeping mountain and ocean views. The arrival experience allows guests
to engage in technology and offers inviting, flexible seating spaces throughout the lobby for
relaxation and business. Guests of the hotel also have access to the state-of-the-art fitness
center, EV charging stations, both valet and self-park options and a meeting and event space.
State Street’s stylish newcomer, Saint Remy is a 50-seat restaurant featuring the freshest
locally-sourced ingredients delivered with a Mediterranean coastal twist. The space boasts an
easygoing and retro-inspired design with relaxed sensibility and palate that is uniquely Santa Barbara.
Menu highlights include shakshuka benedict on the breakfast menu and the burrata &
grilled peach salad and crispy short rib hummus on the dinner menu. The menu will also have a
creative selection of beverages using locally-sourced purveyors such as Zaca Coffee; and Blind
Burro Rum, Hendry’s Vodka and Celo Rum from Black Market Spirits. The cocktail menu offers
the familiarity of classics like the Old Fashioned while introducing signature sippers, like Bad
Entropy. Additionally, a hand selected wine list of local vintners such as One Stone Cellars, a
winemaker that gives back to local and global organizations; as well as wines from Argentina,
Spain, and Oregon. Both indoor and al fresco dining options are available. Complimentary
on-site parking is available for dining guests. Reservations for Saint Remy can be made on

“Courtyard Santa Barbara is wonderfully located for both leisure and business travelers to
indulge in all that the destination is known for, including its beaches, museums, dining options
and wineries,” says General Manager Antonio Morales. “At Saint Remy, every meal is uniformly
inventive and crafted with the rich history and culture of the coast. It brings the local dining
scene a new hotspot for date nights, private parties and gathering with friends.”
