El Encanto, A Belmond Hotel, Santa Barbara

Perched high in the Santa Barbara hills, this iconic hideaway offers the best views of the American Riviera. Spread across seven acres of secluded gardens, Belmond El Encanto opened in 1918 and has been part of Santa Barbara’s social scene ever since. A Forbes Five Star resort, this enchanting escape features 92 bungalow-style suites and guest rooms with sweeping views over Santa Barbara and the Pacific Coast. The resort is gleaming and glamorous, yet relaxed and low-key – the kind of place that invites you to recline poolside, breathe in the ocean air, and sip a glass of crisp local wine.

  • FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    • How does the booking process work?

        It's entirely online and super easy! First, select your dates and number of guests. Once you submit your request, you are redirected to our online booking tool to select the room category and rate, and complete your booking. Please note that we will redirect you to our subdomain for a few months while we run the BETA. We are working to fully integrate the experience on a single platform with several other user experience benefits.

    • What are the benefits of booking through Noble?

        Noble provides you with both discounted room-only and VIP rates. The VIP rates are often equal to other platforms like Expedia but come with rich complimentary benefits & inclusions such as breakfast for 2, early check-in/late check-out, room upgrade when available, $100-200 experience credit, plus more.

        Suppose you don't need the complimentary perks for your trip; you also have the option to book our room-only rates, which can be much lower than other services.

    • Are the VIP rates eligible with hotel loyalty programs like BonVoy, Accor, etc.?

        The VIP rates are generally eligible for loyalty points and status benefits. However, your status benefits do not overlap with the Noble benefits. I.e., if the Noble VIP rate and your loyalty status provide complimentary breakfast for two guests, you’ll only get breakfast for 2, not 4.

    • Is the discounted room-only rate eligible with hotel loyalty programs like Bonvoy, Accor, etc.?

        You’ll not get points on the room-only rate, as this rate is not eligible. However, hotels may still honor your status benefits at their discretion.

    • What happens after I book?

        Once you book, you'll receive a confirmation email with your reservation details. If you don't receive it within 2 hours or have any post-booking questions or concerns regarding your reservation, don't hesitate to contact us on the chat or through service@noble-stay.com

    • When will I pay for my reservation?

        Payment terms will vary for each reservation. In general, the VIP rates are mostly "Pay at hotel," and the discounted rates are mostly paid through Noble. However, this may vary, so please carefully read the individual rate policy before booking.

    • What are the cancellation terms?

        We follow each hotel's cancellation terms which are individual for the specific rate. Please carefully read the individual rate policy before booking.

    • How do I cancel my reservation?

        Please get in touch with us on the chat or email us at service@noble-stay.com to cancel your reservation during the BETA. You will be able to manage your reservations through your account post-BETA. Please contact the hotel directly if it is an urgent same-day last-minute cancellation.
