Santa Barbara Luxury Hotel | 5-Star | Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore (original) (raw)

Laid-back sophistication on the Southern California coast

Tucked between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains sits our iconic Resort, a historic hideaway on the American Riviera where celebrities come to play. Set within 22 lush acres, woven with secluded courtyards, fountains and sun-dappled, red-brick pathways lit by gas lanterns, our Spanish Colonial villas and bungalows invoke the same casual glamour that first delighted Hollywood’s power players in the 1930s. Go for a stroll along Butterfly Beach, spend the day lounging poolside, or pay a visit to our award-winning Spa – then meet us at Ty Lounge for an Original Moscow Mule as you recount the day’s adventures from a seat around the fire.

Accommodations

Hidden away in a secluded jungle garden is this freestanding, two-bedroom bungalow that exudes California cool. Relax on the patio by the firepit and heated plunge pool, then head inside for dinner at the table, followed by drinks in the custom living room.

With private outdoor terraces outfitted with a heated pool and firepit, each of these four unique suites is the quintessential American Riviera hideaway, accessed by gated entries and featuring rich, Spanish Colonial details.

Just steps away from all our Resort amenities, these residential-style suites will make you feel right at home, offering plenty of room for a family dinner on the patio or movie night in the living room.

With a spacious living area and a sofa that can be transformed into a bed come evening, these junior suites are ideal for short family getaways.

Wake to sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean from your room’s private terrace, then come back after a day filled with adventure to enjoy a romantic evening by the fireplace in these extra-large guest rooms.
