Hotel Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort (Solvang)

Style of hotel and ambience

Start with a family adventure-Leave with a family tradition. One thing that sets us apart from other resorts is that we value certain traditions many which are rooted in decades old practices. One example is that during dinner jeans are not allowed and men are required to wear jackets. This may seem odd for a ranch with an overall casual feel but from early on guests have loved the experience of being able to get dusty on the trails during the day and clean up for an elegant evening in the dining room. There are few places in the world where time seems reluctant to move forward. The Alisal Guest Ranch is one such place. Tucked into Californias famed Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Barbara Countys renowned wine country our 10000-acre ranch melds the spirit of the Old West with the seductive charms of todays most relaxing resorts. 30 minutes north of Santa Barbara youll find Alisals 50 miles of riding trails-100 acre spring-fed lake-two 18 hole championship golf courses-tennis courts-pool-spa western themed accommodations-fine dining and endless ways to unplug and unwind. Within minutes of the ranch you will find 75 renowned vineyards and wineries-the charming Danish village of Solvang as well as Los Olivos western art museums and ancient Chumash rock paintings. Whether its a romantic weekend getaway a family reunion or a corporate retreat come discover the magic of Alisal. With a temperate climate year-round and ever-changing seasonal activities every time of year is the perfect time to visit us. In our fast-paced world full of technology and hectic schedules finding time to create family traditions can be a challenge. We still do not have many of the amenities common at most resorts including telephones TVs mini-bars and room service. This is an example of what helps to create that feeling of rustic elegance unique to Alisal.
