This fabled venue has enjoyed a rich and varied history. Originally the site of two locomotive roundhouses erected in 1911. The idea of transforming the site into a luxury resort was conceived by actor Fess Parker, best known for his Disney work. His family tend to the property to this day. Opening its doors in 1986, the venue was renovated and rebranded as an esteemed Hilton Resort in 2018. Now a staple of Santa Barbara’s hospitality scene, this illustrious venue maintains its reputation as one of California's most sought-after destinations. We welcome you and yours!

When we first reached out to the Hilton SB Resort in January 2021, we were still in the middle of the pandemic and we were unsure if we could even have a wedding in July. We were so thankful that Amanda reached out to us and explained to us everything we needed to start our planning. I have never worked with someone so professional and yet so friendly and personable. She never once made us feel pressured to make decisions and only helped us decide what was best for us, our budget, our vision for our wedding. Our wedding was a destination wedding so we relied on Amanda for her recommendations from our wedding coordinators to our other vendors. We are so thankful she helped us pick our dream team led by Dulce Dia Events! Shawna and Amanda are the perfect team!! The wedding package the the Hilton SB Resort offered was simply the best and included everything imaginable!! We scheduled a menu tasting with Amanda and tried a few menu items which helped us select our menu options for our wedding. The food was so amazing!!! Everyone loved and enjoyed the food selections!!! We highly recommend the filet mignon and the salmon for the reception dinner options. My family and friends loved the food so much, they were still talking about it weeks later!!! :) Everyone complimented how the wedding was perfect and magical! We were so thrilled that we chose the ceremony location in front of the Hilton SB and the cocktail hour and reception at the Hilton ballroom! Amanda and her team were simply amazing!!!! I can't stress enough how happy we are that we chose the Hilton for our wedding venue. I have been to other weddings and have seen other wedding vendors and I can say with confidence that Amanda and her team along with the vendors I chose for our wedding was the best I have ever had the pleasure of working with. We love Amanda, Nina, Daisy, Lani and the rest of the amazing Hilton team!!! Thank you so much for making our wedding so magical and memorable!!! :) -
