A 32-room boutique property in Ventura, Hotel San Buena is a haven of history and hospitality. Built in 1928, this Spanish Revival landmark has since been renovated to provide a luxurious and unique getaway that blends past and present perfectly.
Named for the velveteen texture of an elk’s antlers, the space epitomizes timeless beauty and refined elegance. Surrounded by original B.P.O.E. (Benevolent Protective Order of Elks) stained glass windows, The Velvet Hall is a significant part of the building’s grand history. The venue features restored hardwood floors, original decorative fixtures, hand-stenciled beam ceilings, and the historic stage — the perfect backdrop for a wedding or event.
