The Four Seasons Biltmore is one of those special places one doesn't forget. From the service, where each hotel employee treats you like royalty, (whether at the pool, on the grounds or at any one of the restaurants/bars), to the spectacular botanical gardens throughout the grounds, you feel the attention given to the guests. If you are a plant lover,... More

As much as I have traveled and seen, it takes a lot to impress me. Consider me IM-PRESSED !!! What a great resort hotel. I'm not sure how old the building is, but, I had the feeling it was 100 years old yet nothing had aged! The architecture was just spectacular and the landscaping was impecable. This was my first...

This wonderful historic hotel is excellent in every way. The service and the staff are friendly, happy and welcoming. They learn your name and greet you like a welcome friend. Just an amazing group of people!

Been here before and didn't really have a good experience. Seems like they probably took contributors criticism to heart and maybe changed some stuff. This time didn't see people mowing the lawn day after day. Valet did a great job with our car and front desk was helpful. Room was good, bed was comfortable. Sofa and decor pillow not so... More

This hotel is nestled in a quiet area in Santa Barbara. Don't let its sleepy vibe fool you. This resort has all of the horsepower of a metropolitan Four Seasons resort. We stayed in a cottage guest room, which was lovely and our housekeeper took great care of us. The property is immaculate. We ate at the Bella Vista restaurant... More

We held our son's wedding here and the staff couldn't have been more gracious and helpful. The Bella Vista Restaurant on a quieter Thursday night was perfect for the rehearsal dinner. The food was outstanding, the view beautiful, and service attentive. We love the old California feel of the hotel which is classy not stuffy. The rooms were comfortable, roomy,... More

My wife and I recently spent three nights at this property. We stayed in one of the cottages. The room was large with nice hardwood floors. The grounds are amazing and park like. Room service is super expensive. Breakfast for one was $74...although they were able to accommodate my request for French press coffee. The train is very near the... More

As a meeting professional I tend to be a perfectionist when traveling on my own and with my clients. The Four Seasons Santa Barbara was fantastic and my entire group gave great feedback regarding their stay. The food was excellent, the staff five star and the room was amazing and comfortable. Btw, the spa measured up to their top tier... More
