FOUR SEASONS THE BILTMORE

California

OVERVIEW

Drive two hours north from Los Angeles and leave the city behind as you head towards Santa Barbara. This beautiful coastal resort is the perfect place to escape the bustle of Tinseltown, where you can relax and enjoy the casual, sophisticated SoCal lifestyle from your luxurious place close to one of California’s most stunning beaches. A top draw for Four Seasons The Biltmore is Butterfly Beach, and you’ll be just a few moments from the sand in your perfectly outfitted room, suite or bungalow.
The Biltmore has real history, and despite modern facelifts it retains lots of its original charm. Each of the rooms is a different size and shape, set within the 22 acres of beautiful tropical gardens with views across the resort or of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands just offshore. The suites here are truly magnificent, with outside spaces you’ll want to spend time in – most feature expansive terraces, outdoor fireplaces or fire pits.
Spend a few days here during a longer trip down the West Coast and you won’t be in a hurry to get back on the road. Unwind in the spa, relax with a yoga class and enjoy the freshest Californian seafood in one of the hotel’s excellent restaurants.

OUR HIGHLIGHT

The most romantic rooms are the Ortega and Fremont bungalows: the outside patio spaces are beautiful during the day, but at night really come into their own – lit with candles, either to enhance your perfect private dining experience or to offer a romantic place to enjoy the beautiful SoCal evenings.

Where to stay

All of the hotel’s 207 rooms and suites are spacious and bright, decorated in a relaxing colour scheme of cream, gold and muted greens. All the little luxuries have been thought of, from L’Occitane toiletries and fresh flowers in the bathrooms to Nespresso machines for the perfect morning coffee overlooking the gardens or the sea. Rooms are split between the original buildings and bungalows and Ocean-View Rooms and above offer complimentary access to the Coral Casino Club.
