"This century-old luxury hotel has seen Santa Monica change from bohemian beach town to upscale enclave; and though it’s just a few minutes’ walk from the beach itself, it’s even closer to the mall that is Downtown Santa Monica. No matter — a stay at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows is what you make of it, and can be as private as you want it to be. The grounds themselves are planted with lush gardens overlooking the Pacific; the hotel’s own private beach club is accessible via a shuttle." - The MICHELIN Guide
