The Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows

Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows OVE RLOOKS THE PACI FIC OCEAN FROM atop the bluffs in Santa Monica, California. An authentic Hollywood hideaway, the resort occupies five parklike acres brimming with lush gardens, fountains, and waterfalls. The setting affords unparalleled views and privacy for the 302 recently refurbished guest rooms, including 32 California Bungalows reminiscent of beach cottages.

Groups convene in the 7,400-square-foot Starlight Ballroom—the largest in Santa Monica—or in the elegant board rooms, breakout rooms, or conference bungalow. Small, intimate groups appreciate the four split-level bungalows with entertainment areas, ocean-view balconies, and private saunas. Manicured grounds add a variety of outdoor venues as well, including a local favorite, the Lobby Lounge, where waterfalls cascade into a pond stocked with koi. For a special treat, guests dine at Fig, rated one of LA’s Top 50 restaurants by Angeleno magazine in 2009.

Meeting attendees have a world of recreational options at hand. They can spend time at the pool, fitness center, or new Exhale spa. They can visit the Santa Monica Pier, browse the city’s famous shops, and rent beach cruisers to explore the coast. Or, piling into the hotel’s Lexus SUV, they can head for the new Miramar Beach Club, where butlers attend umbrella-shaded lounges and furnish Boogie Boards, volleyballs, soft drinks, snacks, and a full beach menu. With so much at hand, it’s little wonder why, in 2009, savvy readers of Condé Nast Traveler rated the Fairmont Miramar one of the Top 100 Hotels in the United States.
