A Legacy of Gracious Hospitality
The Lavender Inn by the Sea is the smallest of the 5 hotels that make up Santa Barbara Hotel Group. Three generations of the Webber Family operate Santa Barbara Hotel Group. So, if you’re staying at one of our 5 properties – Best Western Plus Pepper Tree Inn, Best Western Plus Encina Inn and Suites, Brisas Del Mar, Inn at the Beach, Inn by the Harbor, Lavender Inn by the Sea – you can expect to be treated just like family. David and Pamela Webber built their first Inn in 1962. Today, you can still find Pamela Webber behind the front desk of the Pepper Tree, overseeing operations and ensuring guests are greeted with the gracious hospitality she’s built the hotels on. So we invite you to come and take part in our family tradition. Enjoy the amazingly scenic Riviera views of Santa Barbara and treat yourself to a memorable trip.
