Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows

Perched on the scenic bluffs of Santa Monica Beach, the Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows has a history of almost a century. Construction on its bi-level bungalows of the original Palisades Wing began in 1920, with king bedrooms on the lower levels and living rooms with sofa beds upstairs. The ten-story Ocean Tower was later added to offer more contemporary styling and suites with private balconies facing Santa Monica Pier or Malibu.

Amenities available on site include the beautiful Miramar Gardens, a 40'x50' heated pool, a sundeck with lounge chairs, and the Exhale Santa Monica mind and body spa, with steam rooms, a dry sauna, and a fitness center with a dozen workout stations. For dining, the Zagat-rated FIG Restaurant features a menu prepared by Chef Ray Garcia, serving dinner between 5pm and 10pm on Tuesday through Saturday.

For meetings, weddings, and other gatherings, the Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows has over 25,000 square feet of function space for groups of 12 to 900 persons. Paid parking is available for guests, restaurant patrons, and special events in the hotel's large outdoor parking lot. Valet service costs $33 per night; short-term parking is $5.50 per hour. The address is 101 Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica, California 90401.
