San Ysidro Ranch Named “World’s Best Romantic Hotel” & More

With over 500 nominees from 80 countries, the 2024 Boutique Hotel Awards named San Ysidro Ranch as World’s Best Romantic Hotel, America’s Best Romantic Hotel, and America’s Best Honeymoon Hotel. The awards are decided by a panel of experts assessing 400 standards of hospitality, considering such elements as uniqueness, sustainability, and unforgettable guest experiences. The Boutique Hotel Awards recognition is conferred by an institution described as “the first and only international awards organization exclusively dedicated to showcasing the finest luxury boutique hotels to travel lovers.” 

San Ysidro Ranch being the longest-standing luxury resort in Santa Barbara, the three awards reflect the history of its dedication to service, as well as those stunning new additions to the legendary resort – including the recently launched Ty Warner Wine Collective and Secret Cellar epicurean experience, and seasonal activations at The Speakeasy at Plow & Angel.
