About Fairmont Miramar Hotel
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.

5. Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows hotel
Located not far from Santa Monica Pier, this five-star hotel offers ocean views and a high-end take on the idea of a seaside resort. The historic property dates back to 1889 when John P Jones, who’d helped found Santa Monica after making his fortune in silver mining, built a mansion here. After his death, the estate was bought by King Camp Gilette, inventor of the safety razor, who sold it a few years later to hotelier Gilbert Stevenson. It was converted into a resort in the early 1920s, and Greta Garbo was one of the first celebrities to call it home.

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.
