Legendary landmark with glorious views over Santa Barbara
Since the early 1900s, Belmond El Encanto has been Santa Barbara’s historic crown jewel of luxury and romance. The hotel’s signature bungalows all have the crisp style that is quintessentially California, tucked away within seven acres of terraced, landscaped gardens. There are plenty of century-old architectural features (like the trellis-lined Arbor and Lily Pond) that have been restored to their original glory, a nostalgic throwback to simpler, more carefree times.
