The Fess Parker Wine Tasting Room delivers authentic boutique wine experiences featuring selections from Fess Parker and Epiphany cellars.
Resort Recreation Facilities
The expanded pool deck features private cabanas and plush day bed lounges. Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort maintains six pickleball courts, croquet, giant checkers, chess, cornhole, and bike rentals.
Transit Hub Location
Located 11 miles from Santa Barbara Municipal Airport and one mile from the Amtrak station, the resort provides access to the Cabrillo Ball Park (0.5 miles), Santa Barbara Zoo (0.5 miles), and the Funk Zone district (0.5 miles).
“The beachfront location is a genuine draw, placing you steps from the sand near East Beach; I appreciate that it's close to Santa Barbara's Funk Zone. While the grounds seem well-maintained, some rooms could use refreshing, though the on-site winery adds a local touch. It's a mixed bag of great potential needing a bit more polish.”
