Casa Iglesia Studio 304

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.
