Four Seasons Santa Barbara, The Biltmore
Re-Opening in 2026!
An Insider's Take
'This legendary 1927 Spanish Colonial Revival estate sits on 22 pristine oceanfront acres where Old Hollywood glamour meets modern luxury.'
What's Special?
The Biltmore is built on the former estate of railroad magnate Dwight Murphy and has hosted everyone from Winston Churchill to Oprah. The property features original hand-painted ceiling murals, century-old Moreton Bay Fig trees, and direct access to Butterfly Beach - consistently ranked among America's most beautiful beaches.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the Ocean Premium rooms for unobstructed Pacific views and request a beachside cabana during peak season - they're complimentary for guests but fill up fast.
Don't Miss
Sunset cocktails at Bella Vista overlooking the Channel Islands, the iconic Coral Casino Beach & Cabana Club (exclusive to members and hotel guests), and exploring nearby Montecito - home to celebrity estates and the charming Upper Village shops.
