Four Seasons Biltmore Hotel Reviews

Amazing service. Everyone willing to help at any time. Wonderful food and drinks. Great atmosphere and ambiance

I have never stayed in any of the rooms. I have come to a few events thrown for a charity.
We have dined here and we have walked our dogs around the resort.
It's absolutely beautiful, of course. Seconds to Butterfly Beach. Take walks outside the hotel.
Simply lovely. And in beautiful Montecito, what more can you ask for?

Great place to stay. Only downside is the train going by and blowing its horn in the evening.

right on butterfly beach. what more can you ask for?

One of the best four seasons hotel. Impacable service and amenities. Lush and green. Highly recommend.

The most luxurious resort I've ever visited. The hotel Smells like roses and the staff is amazing, anything you look or think they are already helping you with out you saying a word. Perfect summer getaway spot to travel with friends family or just alone.

This resort is great! Every member of staff is happy and helpful. The rooms are very nice. The location is perfect, right across the street from the beach and close to several attractions.

Amazing views from the outdoor dining area. A must visit dining experience when visiting the Santa Barbara area.

Beautiful hotel with friendly and accommodating staff. We would definitely return! Bella Vista restaurant was delicious and the view was breathtaking. We also enjoyed the Coral Casino Club amenities and the lunch pool menu and Tydes lunch was yummy and fresh!

If you have the time, make room for the sunday brunch at the biltmore. It is an experience you will not forget. We had the best brunch experience of our lives and cant wait to do it again. The service was incredible, the food divine, the view as picturesque as any movie. Definitely a must-do.

Nice historical place. If you have that kind of $$$... I did fire clean up there 2 weeks before the flood and mud slides filled it up.

Let me start with the positive. The hotel and the grounds are beautiful. We had a very nice room with a fireplace and a view of the ocean (when you could see it).

Unfortunately, there are a few negative things about this hotel as well.

The first thing is that despite the very carefully composed picture on their website, this hotel is NOT on the beach. You need to cross a relatively busy road to get to the beach. Also, the beach itself is about 15-20 feet wide, with no chairs, towels, umbrellas or services. This is not a beach resort.

The second thing is that every day starts and ends with a The Shining -like fog that is so thick you can taste and feel it. We were there for 5 days in August. For two of the days, the fog never burned off. For the other three, the fog burned off around 2 or 3 pm, only to return a few hours later. While we were repeatedly told that this was unusual weather for August, it lasted all week.

The third thing is the pool setup. There is only a very small and often crowded pool on property. Fortunately, our room came with access to the pool club next door. While this arrangement worked out fine, it just seemed odd to have to go to a separate stand-alone pool club when staying at a Four Seasons hotel. Also, I m not sure what people without access to that club do.

Finally, there were a few service glitches here and there, like when we checked in at 4 pm, our room wasn t ready, we were originally double-charged for our massages and the hotel concierge never followed through on some dinner reservations we asked her to help us with, but generally the hotel made good on these mistakes (we received a credit and some drinks for the late check-in and the double-charge was corrected).

Overall, a nice hotel.

I have not visited a place more beautiful than Santa Barbara. We enjoyed our time at the Four seasons very much. The view behind the resort is the mountains and the ocean is right across the street. We stayed in one of the bungalows. Very cute and comfortable. Beds are a big thing for me. This one was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was extremely large and there was a dressing room. The staff was so friendly. We were greeted by everyone. The maid service was detailed, my shoes were lined up, the sweater on the chair was folded, our chargers were untangled. The food was amazing, although the cost was a shock for those of us coming from the Midwest. We did not utilize the Tydes restaurant /club across the street but those with us said it was beautiful. The only thing I would caution is to bring your own shampoo and body wash. We didn't because we were flying in and I regretted it. I strongly disliked the scent of the toiletries at the resort.

Really nice in all respects. The seaside location is amazing. The pool was astonishing and the grounds are a tropical forest well maintained.

Beautiful, historic hotel right on the water. Great location, walking distance to the fantastic little town. Great restaurants, nice rooms, wonderful service.

If price is not an option, then the Four Season should be. Its Mediterranean charm overlooking Butterfly beach will entice you to luxuriate among the finer things in life. Hospitality is simply an opportunity to show love and care. There is something for everyone, even if it's just for you.

We attended their brunch for a birthday celebration. It was very expensive and quite a delicious spread... The setting on the beach was beautiful.

Best brunch in the city! The seafood/raw bar was second to none in town!

The Biltmore provides great meeting rooms, beautiful grounds and good food/catering with a excellent beach access and views. Perfect for any event whether it's a professional meeting or a wedding

Nice ambiance. Decent music. Great views. Good service. We enjoyed sharing drinks and appetizers with our friends in the bar.

When calling them they just hung up and I just found this very disrespectful since I m in the department of law. I will be looking for other places to stay while on my business trip with my fellow coworkers.

Went for a wedding and the service and food was off the charts

Very exclusive and beautiful property right on the Santa Barbara coast. Short drive South on 101 or Cabrillo from Downtown. The grounds are very pretty and the hotel is not cheap. The Coral Club next door, and 2 sets of stairs lead directly down to the beach. Love the architecture and detail in the lobby.

The FourSeasons in Santa Barbara is the old Biltmore, and the location simply must be experienced as there are no other way to really appreciate the opulent nature of the old resort, in all fairness, FourSeasons have done a magnificent job of modernizing the resort, and the amazing FourSeasons touch is everywhere from amazing staff to fantastic rooms.. you can't go wrong if you choose to stay here, just be forewarned that this level of comfort and luxury come with a fairly hefty price tag.

Fantastic service, great big rooms, good food with great views. Will definitely be coming back

Bathrooms were gross, wait was long. Amazing location

Great location, hotel is right next to the beach. Great stuff.

The location is perfect. It is right in front of Butterfly Beach in Montecito and in walking distance to Coast Village Road, which is a street with lots of cute boutiques and great restaurants. The grounds are always well kept and the service there is fabulous!

Upon arriving, I was attended to by the valet service who kindly took care of me and guided me to my event. The resort was stunningly beautiful and the beach scenery was amazing. The employees were all very welcoming and friendly. My experience overall was fantastic

Immaculate, lush property. Meticulous staff. Pricey but worth it.

This place is so serene and the emploees and sevice are outstanding! The Sunday brunch is fabulous, I just had to try everything and even went back for seconds! Definitely five stars for this wonderful place!

Room was unique. I love breakfast buffet in this hotel. Pool is very nice with cool jacuzzi.

One of the best in luxury, atmosphere, attention and food and drinks of the best level

Have gone there twice for brunch now. Service is great, nice views, and a large selection of very good food.

Thank u. I worked here 1985-1987 still great history.

Never seen caviar, not to mention TWO varieties, in a Sunday brunch spread. Well worth visiting for the atmosphere and staff services alone. The brunch covers every detail like capers for the lox and condiments for the blintzes. The Four Seasons will never go "cheap" on anything they do. Forever the gastronomical hallmark of excellence! Hit the polo fields afterwards by heading south on Jameson for a pleasant end to the afternoon

I had a wedding for 15 people and it was cheaper than I thought. Everything included, facing the beach, great food, great wine, beer, cake. $900

This is a beautiful hotel inside out. The service is also impeccable. We sat at the outdoor patio and it was amazing experience with the fire pit, nice food and good service. Just keep in mind that the price is quite steep but it's Four seasons.

Exceptional service, location, restaurants with panoramic view & wonderfully kind people

Classic luxury relaxation at Santa Barbara. The terrace restaurant to the ocean side is magnificent

Great place for business meeting :) great service with smile!

Absolutely beautiful location, quiet and friendly service, well appointed guest room with great technology.

Overpriced and overrated. Terrible service at the Thai Lounge.

We had dinner and drinks at the Italian restaurant, out on the oceanside terrace. The surroundings are gorgeous, of course. Five of us shared a plate of cheeses and meats as an appetizer, and the cheeses were lovely (particularly the soft More

We only ate at the restaurant for breakfast on Sunday. Everything was fine

Great food. Live music and a short walk from the beach!

Beautiful hotel in a wonderfull area. It is a bit expensive and from a professional view the concierge is not pleasant to work with.

Not up to Four Season standard service level very weak.

Love coming here; we have our hair done at the Salon every month, drinks at the bar and Sunday Brunch when we want to relax with the views.

High Tea was fantastic but it was outside and very hot that day.

Beautiful property, world class service, excellent restaurant.

Valet constantly welcoming... felt property was safe in our rooms with housekeeping personnel. Front desk very very affable. Sanfu with luncheon reservation for 7 was overcome by management, though it was an fortunate oversight. Overall very good visit.

Found the place CLOSED!! Couldn't get any info as to reopening. Had to give them a "average rating" for poor customer service!

Crab eggs Benedict were delicious! Fantastic service and beautiful views!

Great place to stay, right across the beach... non-crowded. Staff goes out of their way to help.

Their Sunday brunch is to die for. Views of the ocean, excellent service, endless bubbly. The food offering is vast...something for everyone...even the kids. Get a reservation several days ahead.

one of the better hotels simple but good complimentary breakfast nice size rooms and bathroom small but clean pool.
