The City of Santa Barbara has seen a lot of change since the Hotel Virginia opened in 1925. At the time, people were traveling the area in horse and buggies on unpaved streets. At the time, the hotel catered to business travelers, as well as those who traveled to Santa Barbara for the benefits of the healing waters of the spas. The hotel underwent renovations and re-launched in 2005. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has earned a Santa Barbara Beautiful award.
