A restored midcentury Ocean Tower and the residential Palisades wing offer two distinct ways to stay at Fairmont Miramar Hotel. Set above Santa Monica's beaches, the hotel carries its coastal setting into accommodations with views of the city, gardens or Pacific. Ocean Tower rooms pair walnut-grain furnishings and vintage lighting with private balconies, while the Palisades wing has more spacious layouts. Beyond the guest floors, seasonal cooking at FIG, Soko Sushi and Dogtown Coffee give the grounds a dining life of their own. The appeal is in the choice of architectural character and room style, with several reasons to spend an evening at the hotel.

Kennedy and Bill Clinton) and Hollywood icons (Greta Garbo found respite for four years in the Palisades Wing), and was once the stomping grounds of Marilyn Monroe, Jean Harlow and other stars. Its secluded cottages and modern hotel rooms continue to attract A-listers (Harrison Ford, Venus and Serena Williams, Gwyneth Paltrow and many others) who value privacy to the calming tune of crashing waves.
