Hotel Details
El Encanto, A Belmond Hotel, Santa Barbara - A 1920s hilltop sanctuary with seven acres of gardens, Pacific Ocean views, and farm-to-table dining
Perched on a Santa Barbara hilltop, this 5-star sanctuary features 90 rooms, bungalows and suites spread across seven acres of landscaped gardens offering Pacific Ocean vistas. El Encanto's 1920s Spanish-colonial and California craftsman architecture has been meticulously preserved, while incorporating modern amenities including a zero-edge pool and boutique spa with seven treatment rooms. The Santa Barbara hotel's dining venues include a restaurant with indoor and outdoor terrace seating, where sustainable seafood pairs with herbs from the on-site garden and cheese made from the hotel's own cow's milk. The Belmond Hotel provides a well-equipped fitness studio offering cardio equipment and strength-training stations. A centuries-old lily pond lined with wisteria serves as a serene spot for turtle watching, while winter brings migrating Monarch butterflies.
