“Best hotel ever!”
This was the most amazing hotel we ever stayed at, the gardens are lush and beautiful and the location is absolutely fantastic right on the beach and ocean. Hotel staff is very attentive. A true paradise.
“Weekend getaway felt like we were in Hawaii!”
Amazing grounds, beautiful. Very tropical felt like being in Hawaii!
“A fabulous destination”
Beautiful, historic property is a wonderful destination. Charming ambience, excellent restaurants, access to the Cabana Beach Club and excellent customer service add up to a five star treatment. You can actually walk on the beach right across the lane and the landscaping of the Hotel makes you feel that you are in a secluded paradise. We are already planning several trips back to Santa Barbara to stay at the FourSeasons Biltmore. Dinner at Tydes Restaurant was excellent and when you stay at the Hotel, there is no reason to go anywhere else.
“exceptional, totally relaxing, private, and gorgeous”
lovely time away
“A beautiful resort!”
Simply beautiful!
“would love to go back soon”
great place to vist in spring and summer, would go back 3-4 times a year if possible....
“Quiet retreat”
My teenage son and I wanted to get away for Spring Break. We biked, walked and ate our way through Montecito and Santa Barbara area vineyards and beaches. Did I mention the Sunday brunch? What a feast! Lush grounds, two pool areas and attentive service make this destination a favorite.
“Can't wait to go back”
This is the way a hotel should be. I visited the FS/Biltmore about 25 years ago on business and was impressed with it then, but had little reason to visit Santa Barbara again until a client asked me up. To begin with I made my reservation through you guys and screwed up the date by one day. You have your policy and that is understandable but I decided to call FS/Biltmore and see if they could work with me so I didn't lose any money. They did graciously. How many hotels would do that? I enjoyed my stay immensely, from check in to check out. The staff was courteous, solicitous, gracious, professional, friendly, helpful, attentive and cheerful. The only disappointment is that this survey does not have a 10. I would give it to them gladly. First rate hotel and well worth the rate.
“A little oasis”
This is a lovely hotel - a little oasis set in beautiful landscaped gardens overlooking the sea. Whilst it is a short drive into Santa Barbara it's location is lovely. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the bathrooms are lovely. We ate at the hotel restaurant twice - once was an Italian buffet the other was a la carte both were excellent. The hotel has a beautiful swimming pool in the gardens but it is rather small and the surrounding area cramped. As a hotel guest you have access to The Beach Club located just across the road which has a 50m pool and overlooks the sea. There were masses of loungers here but the atmosphere isn't great. It feels very functional and gets very busy. The pool is also a serious swimmers pool and is therefore rather chilly. The food and drink service around this pool was excellent. We really enjoyed our 3 night stay here.
“Suggested change!!”
Gorgeous grounds. Friendly helpful staff. Did not like the fact one must pay an additional $19.00 a night for self parking however!!
