Suite (Corner Balcony)

The suite opens onto a private balcony with valley views across the Santa Ynez Valley. The corner position gives you outdoor space of your own, which is a good place to enjoy the valley's clear summer skies and cool evenings.

The suite has one king bed and sleeps up to 3 guests. It suits a couple or two adult travelers who want extra room, and the sitting area gives a third guest space too. Blackout drapes help with restful sleep.

At 842 sq. ft., the suite is far larger than the resort's standard guest rooms, which are about 370 sq. ft. The resort's room range runs from the Premium Guest Room up to the Master Suite, and all meet AAA Four Diamond standards. The extra space gives you a sitting area and room to spread out.

The suite has a private bathroom with a shower, and bathrobes are provided. Towels are changed on request, and daily housekeeping keeps the room fresh through your stay.

You get free WiFi in the room and throughout the property. Free self-parking and valet parking are both available on-site, and a complimentary airport shuttle is offered. Breakfast is not included, but the resort has several morning options. Hotel guests aged 21 and over can use the rooftop pool, and the 24-hour fitness center is on-site.

Willows Restaurant + Bar is the AAA Four Diamond steakhouse, serving prime steaks and seafood from 5pm daily. Reservations are recommended on weekends and show nights. For earlier in the day, Cafe Amri serves breakfast and lunch from 7am to 2pm, and the Hotel Coffee Bar in the lobby is open 7AM to 3PM. Grains and Grounds and the Chumash Cafe both run 24 hours.

The rooftop pool is on the 5th floor, reserved for hotel guests 21 and over, and open daily 8AM to 8PM. The 15,000 sq. ft. deck has valley views, and there are hot tubs too. The Spa at Chumash is open Friday through Tuesday, with treatments such as the Signature Massage and Signature Facial. Booking ahead is wise, and 4 hours' notice is needed to cancel or reschedule.

Check-in begins at 4:00 PM, and the front desk is staffed 24 hours a day. Bring a photo ID and a credit card, and expect a $100 damage deposit on the card, refunded afterward. Cash is not accepted for hotel charges. Guest rooms are non-smoking, with designated smoking areas on the property, and pets are not allowed (service animals are welcome).

The resort is at 3400 East Highway 246 in Santa Ynez. Solvang is roughly 5 to 15 minutes by car, and Los Olivos is about 10 minutes. The Santa Ynez Wine Trail is within walking distance. For beaches, Santa Barbara is about 30 to 40 minutes away and Pismo Beach about an hour.
