While hotels and resorts have always utilized their physical surroundings to enhance the guest experience, few natural assets compete with prime coastal real estate. Situated on five expansive acres on the bluff north of the Santa Monica pier overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the five-star oceanfront Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows—a staple in the community since 1921—provides the perfect setting for a summer escape replete with sunny California weather, fresh salt water breezes—and stunning views from sunrise to sunset.
As the only beachside hotel with bungalows, the Fairmont Miramar has served celebrities, politicians, and many other notable figures over the years. Nestled throughout this luxury contemporary seaside oasis, around the garden and pool, reside 31 individually designed Bungalows that draw inspiration from the property’s coastal location, channeling quintessential SoCal beach living—and you can bring your pup along too.
