El Encanto, A Belmond Hotel, Santa Barbara

10.0 Flawless (5 reviews)Lartisien hotel collection

Not all five stars shine. We’ve visited thousands to find the ones that truly do. Why El Encanto, A Belmond Hotel, Santa Barbara ?

  • It’s an old-style classic on the American Riviera
  • The outdoor pool with Pacific Ocean views is one of the most beautiful you’ll ever see
  • The spa is a spoiling sanctuary where treatments unfold to the thrumming of hummingbirds and dragonflies

The monastic hush of the Belmond El Encanto makes it a gloriously secluded hideaway on the California Riviera, but look more closely… There is more to this Santa Barbara icon than meets the eye.

    The hotel was perfect - the room was grand, pool was beautiful. WiFi worked very well. The restaurant and cuisine was delicious. Everyone on the team was super helpful. Special shoutout to Jack at the pool !

    My husband and I spent a special birthday weekend with our friends from Atlanta, Austin, and the new ones we met at El Encanto. My preference for hotels when traveling is to have a 5-star boutique/charm/ local vibe. El Encanto nails it. The hotel is beautiful and perfectly nestled on the Santa Barbara hillside which feels like a wonderfully kept secret. The rooms and the overall property were impeccably maintained and gorgeous to see. However, it was truly the staff at El Encanto who made our stay magical...Brendan, Richard, and of course Daileah to name a few. We couldn't have been more pleased with every single detail and can't wait to go back!
