Fess Parker’s Hotel Proposal Is Approved
Fess Parker’s latest waterfront hotel proposal has been approved after years of squabbling and redesign. The hotel will rise from a three-acre Cabrillo Boulevard lot.
Construction could start in a year, the 76-year-old former “Davy Crockett” star said.
The city approved Parker’s plans for a 150-room hotel in 1993, giving him until 2007 to build it next to his other waterfront property, Fess Parker’s Doubletree Resort Santa Barbara.
In 1999, he pushed a ballot measure to increase it to 225 rooms, but the measure was defeated.
