The Arlington Hotel was a historic hotel in Santa Barbara, California, United States.[1] Opened in 1876, it was one of the grandest hotels in the West. The original building burned down on 15 August 1909, and a replacement hotel was completed in 1911 at a cost of over one and a half million dollars.[2] This building suffered further misfortune when a strong earthquake devastated the town in 1925, and the hotel was left in ruins.
