The Hotel Savoy, at 409 State St. in Santa Barbara, California, was built in 1889 as Faith Mission. It was designed by architect Peter J. Barber in Stick/Eastlake and Italianate architectural styles. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]

It has served as a religious structure and as a hotel, and was listed for its architecture.[1]

It was deemed notable because of its "elaborate stamped metal facade decorations", unique in southern Santa Barbara County, and as it is possibly the last 19th-century commercial building in Santa Barbara surviving with its original facade intact.[2]
