About us
Located in the Santa Barbara hills, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez mountains, El Encanto, A Belmond Hotel, Santa Barbara has been a secluded haven for artists and Hollywood stars since 1918. With 26 suites and 66 rooms, 7 acres of lush gardens and sweeping views, the hotel provides the perfect escape from the fast-paced energy of Los Angeles. Today, El Encanto finds a new harmony with creative California, through fascinating cuisine, bold modern art, stirring literature and uplifting wellness experiences. With a passion for artisanal ingredients and exceptional flavours, the restaurants at El Encanto celebrate the region’s culinary abundance. At The Dining Room and Terrace, guests can dine on seasonal dishes under the stars on the ocean-facing terrace. At the Lounge and Riviera Bar, guests can opt for light dining, afternoon tea or classic cocktails. The Spa takes inspiration from coastal elements with expert treatments, and nearby the heated outdoor saline swimming pool offers panoramic ocean views. To travel around the property guests can hire electric faraday bikes, while the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service to downtown Santa Barbara.
