Property info

***Complimentary breakfast for registered hotel guests from 8am to 10am daily. & Aperitif hour daily from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM in the lobby*** Set in the heart of downtown Santa Ynez, Polo House & Bungalows is a 14-key boutique retreat where refined design, relaxed luxury, and the heritage of California’s polo culture converge. Just steps from the town’s most celebrated restaurants and artisan shops, and a short bike ride from world-class wineries, the property offers an intimate gateway to Santa Ynez at its most authentic. Thoughtfully designed to reflect the rhythm of the polo lifestyle, the hotel blends modern architecture with equestrian influence—clean lines softened by natural textures, tailored interiors paired with effortless comfort.

Here, mornings begin slowly, afternoons unfold among the vines, and evenings return you to a setting that feels both polished and personal. Polo House & Bungalows is not a place to pass through, but one to settle into—where California wine country is experienced with intention, style, and quiet confidence.

Neighborhood info

The Santa Ynez Valley includes the five towns of Santa Ynez, Ballard, Los Olivos, Solvang, and Buellton. Founded in 1882 and known as “The New Town,” Santa Ynez has preserved much of its western character, with several historic storefronts still standing. By 1889, it had become the social and economic center of the Valley, home to mercantile stores, blacksmith shops, garages, grocery stores, barber and harness shops, millinery stores, and saloons.
