Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara – Historic Spanish-Revival Resort with New Nobu Dining & Reimagined Poolscape

Set gracefully between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains, Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara evokes classic Spanish-Revival elegance with modern luxury. This renowned resort blends architectural charm, culinary innovation, and serene design into a poised coastal escape.

Emblematic California Architecture & Garden Design

Established in 1927, Four Seasons Santa Barbara (formerly The Biltmore) is a masterpiece of Spanish Colonial Revival design—featuring whitewashed adobe walls, red-tiled roofs, terracotta walkways, lush gardens, and romantic gas lantern lighting that embodies the “American Riviera”.

Reimagined Poolscape: Relaxation Meets Elegance

Four Seasons Santa Barbara is undergoing a refreshed pool design set to complete its restoration and elevate guest enjoyment. The renovated resort will include a 3,557-sq-ft free-form family pool with a beach area and waterfall, a 150-ft lazy river, and a tranquil adults-only pool with cabanas, all designed to enhance its historic charm.

Nobu-Branded Dining Brings Modern Flair

Exciting new culinary offerings are on the horizon: a Nobu restaurant will debut when the resort reopens in late 2025, joining a select few Four Seasons properties worldwide with this signature brand.

Iconic Dining & Relaxed Coastal Culture

Beyond Nobu, the resort’s dining options are deeply rooted in local flavors. Bella Vista serves California-Italian fare using fresh regional ingredients; Tydes offers modern seafood cuisine; and Ty Lounge delivers Spanish-style tapas and cocktails with ocean-facing seating. Guests also enjoy access to the classic Coral Casino Beach & Cabana Club pools and beach club.

Timeless Hospitality & Lush Gardens

Thoughtful craftsmanship defines the property—with richly tiled courtyards, ornate ceilings, handcrafted furniture, and botanical gardens that invite peaceful strolls. The warm and gracious service remains as polished today as it was in its glamorous Hollywood-era heyday.
