It's been 20 years since we last visited the Biltmore in Santa Barbara. Our children were young and our memories so rosy that I feared the hotel could not hope to meet our expectations. Blessedly, I was wrong. The location, the grounds and the building itself are breathtaking, harkening back to a more elegant time. Our room was large and... More

My husband and I spent a weekend at the Four Seasons and it was perfect in every way! The location is ideal, whether for long walks on the beach, bike rides or spending time at the adjacent Coral Casino Beach Club. Our room was lovely, generous size, luxury furnishings and linens and an enormous bathroom with steam shower and separate... More

You simply can not beat this place if you are traveling with a dog (or any 4 seasons for that matter). Beach is right across the street and nobody seemed to care about my unleashed dog. They don't charge extra for your dog (unlike Bacara, where they charge $150) and a full bowl of dog food awaited my pooch when... More

Staff was wonderful and attentive. They were very responsive to me and my food allergies, and made sure that the food I ate was allergen free. Literally more attentive to my food allergies than any other hotel I have stayed at. The property was lush and gorgeous. It could not be a more beautiful location. The only negative was the... More
