   Area's Best Beachfront Boutique Property to Offer Guests Newly Updated 
       Accommodations and the Most Affordable Luxury Along the Coast 
 
JRK Hotel Group today announced 
the upcoming renovation of its beachfront Hotel Oceana property in Santa 
Barbara, Calif. New York-based design consultant Annette Jaffe of MSM 
Property Development, LLC, will helm the project, bringing a fresh, new 
flair to the popular beachside boutique destination. 
 
"Hotel Oceana has long been one of the Santa Barbara's coast's prime 
destinations, with its great beachfront location, incredible grounds, and 
affordable luxury offerings, and we are excited to bring an increased value 
to our array of amenities," said Dean Andrews, president of JRK Hotel 
Group. 
 
    "We wanted to develop a fresh, modern take on the region's classic 
appeal," said Jaffe. "Guests will enjoy the light, color, and ease that 
California and the Santa Barbara coast convey like no other area in the 
country." 
 
    The Hotel Oceana Santa Barbara is a 122-room beachfront gem which will 
feature 22 new junior suites upon completion of its renovation. Boasting 
Spanish colonial design elements, stunning ocean and mountain views, two 
pools, Jacuzzis, and convenient access to the area's top tourist 
destinations, the property is known for its cozy, boutique-style offerings 
and service, as well as its unparalleled grounds and affordable, luxury 
details. A newly updated boardroom is the perfect setting for meetings or 
formal gatherings and the property's well-equipped fitness center offers 
guests 24-hour, unlimited access. 
 
    As part of its renovation, scheduled for completion in June 2008, the 
hotel will feature simple, clean walls, inspired by the traditional white 
adobe style of Santa Barbara, new hardwood floors evoking the region's old 
world charm throughout the guest rooms, the addition of high-definition 
plasma TVs, and all new furnishings and accessories. The property's updated 
accommodations sit among its lush, vibrant grounds and gardens, where 
guests are greeted by bougainvillea and birds of paradise. 
 
    Jaffe is a renowned designer, whose background includes hospitality, 
residential and commercial projects in New York and around the nation. 
Additional credits include the Hotel Roger Williams and the Franklin Hotel, 
both located in Manhattan.
