Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara

If your hotel checklist looks something like this - beachfront, exclusive amenities, possible celebrity sightings, ridiculous levels of hospitality - then the Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara is where you want to stay. One of the most beautiful hotels in Santa Barbara, the Biltmore is located just across the street from Butterfly Beach, one of the most pristine white sand beaches in Southern California. There are Spanish tiles and exotic orchids in the entryway, music pumped into speakers in the pool and endlessly delicious food and beverage options (their Sunday brunch is legendary). Access to the exclusive Tydes restaurant at the Coral Casino Beach and Cabana Club comes with your reservation. Downtown Santa Barbara is just a short drive away, and one of Montecito's main shopping and dining districts is within walking distance.
