Four Seasons Resort, The Biltmore

Four Seasons Resorts have been around for a long time, with resorts in over 35 countries. One location is The Biltmore in Santa Barbara, California. The hotel has been built in a classic Spanish style, with colonial accoutrements. The hotel offers 207 standard guest rooms and 12 one-story cottages. The cottages are used as timeshares, as well as villas for the discerning guest. There are 3 to 5 guest rooms in the cottages depending on the visitor's choice. Each has their own entrance to make them private from the rest of the hotel guests.

The villas have fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, kitchens, and patios. The standard rooms have balconies, en suite bathrooms, television, internet, and your typical hotel room amenities. The floors in many of the rooms are heated for comfort in cooler months. A spa on site provides 11 treatment rooms, 4 day suites (with fireplaces), and a tranquil terrace for relaxation. The spa is part of the Kevin Charles Salon for those who need hairstyling or cosmetic services. The Biltmore Four Seasons has on site dining, with a wine country menu. Much of the cuisine caters to seafood lovers and vegetarians with fresh produce from local farms.
