In 1903, just two years after his arrival in what is now Santa Barbara, he opened Hotel Potter in the very same spot where the IC’s newest hotel now sits. Milo Potter was not only the city’s first true hotelier, but was pivotal to the development of Santa Barbara as a city. In the spirit of the IC, the hotel’s new name is drawn from Santa Barbara history. “What has impressed me most about Hotel Oceana, and now Hotel Milo, is both the richness of the history and the vibrancy of the community.” Hotel Milo guests will have essential Santa Barbara experiences at their fingertips, such as the Urban Wine Trail, the Funk Zone and those beautiful white sand beaches,” said Foiz Ahmed, vice president of the Independent Collection. “This new name really speaks to the essence of the Independent Collection, which at its heart, is all about the neighborhoods in which our hotels are located. The hotel will officially become Hotel Milo Santa Barbara on May 1st, but a new website showcasing the name, has already launched. The IC consists solely of design-conscious hotels in culturally-rich, niche neighborhoods of the iconic cities in which they are located. The 122-room Hotel Oceana is the tenth property in the Independent Collection and its first on the West Coast.
