A Star is Born
again
after seven years of
dedicated restoration by Orient-Express
It is a recipe for a California Classic: Take one hotel with a
star-studded Hollywood past, add stylish American Riviera
décor with one knock-out ocean view, and combine with
a sprinkling of art created with diamond dust, California
coastal dining at its very best (with the help from one very
pampered cow) and seven years dedicated restoration.
The result? Orient-Express’ latest creation, and first hotel
on the USWest Coast, El Encanto, in relaxing Santa Barbara
(90 miles up the Pacific Coast Highway from Los Angeles).
A glamorous hideaway for almost 100 years, El Encanto’s 92
bungalow rooms and suites sit in seven acres of beautifully
preserved landscaped gardens and is an integral part of
Santa Barbara's social, cultural and architectural heritage. As
with all Orient-Express hotels, El Encanto has pushed
boundaries when it comes to its gastronomy, and has its
very own Holstein cow, Ellie, whose milk will be solely
used to produce handmade cheese for the hotel.
