“I think the view alone is worth every penny this place charges.”
From the reviews
Amazing. We went to a beautiful wedding here and git to stay for the weekend. Service is impeccable and everyone is so nice. The spa, pool, and fitness room are amazing. There is easy self parking and you can walk across the street to the beach.
We celebrated my sister's birthday here. I can't say enough good things. The view was spectacular. The service was impeccable! Our server, Harold, took great care of us. He kept a smile on his face. We laughed a lot, and he fulfilled all of our dining needs. I would definitely request Harold again. The food, well...
Gorgeous hotel right on the water front. We didn't stay at the hotel as guests but rather walked around the grounds and had dinner/drinks during the sunset. It is very romantic. Excellent date locations. The cocktails were wonderful as was the service. I highly recommend a visit if not a stay.
My husband and I stayed over a week in the Odell Bungalow. Used the gas fp in February and had service al fresco on our private patio. It was so quiet I didn’t ever see the main building. Alternative gated routes in/out were great for our stay. Lovely gardens.
Getting married at Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
