GARDENS Our final destination was the sprawling and elegant Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore on Channel Drive opposite dazzling Butterfly Beach. This exquisite 1927 gem epitomizes the Spanish revival architecture beloved in Southern California. In that bygone era, celebrity guests included Greta Garbo, Errol Flynn, Bing Crosby and Rock Hudson, who had his wedding ceremony in one of the cabins. The Biltmore (also a Ty Warner property) has been restored to perfection. Lavish landscaping offers beautiful surprises such as a Moorish tile scalloped fountain sparkling in the sun.
