There is a fig tree here that has been watching over this stretch of Ocean Avenue for more than a century. Its canopy spreads wide and low across the entrance of the Fairmont Miramar Hotel, a living landmark that sets the tone for everything that follows. The property sits on five acres at the top of the bluffs in Santa Monica, a position that places you steps from the Pacific and squarely within one of the most walkable coastal neighborhoods in Southern California. The architecture spans eras and moods, from the original 1920s main building to the Tower wing and a collection of private bungalows tucked among lush tropical gardens. The result is a property that feels less like a single hotel and more like a small, self-contained village where mid-century glamour and California ease coexist without friction.
The bungalows are the signature accommodation here, and they have drawn a particular kind of guest for decades. Ranging from one to three bedrooms, these freestanding residences are scattered across the grounds, each with its own entrance and a sense of seclusion that is rare for a property this close to the center of the city. Many feature private patios, fireplaces, and full living areas. In the Tower and main building, rooms and suites offer ocean views, city views, or garden outlooks, with interiors that balance warmth and polish. The scale of the property means you can choose between the energy of the public spaces and genuine privacy within the gardens.
Fig Restaurant anchors the ground-floor dining experience, drawing on seasonal California ingredients in a space that opens onto the hotel's garden courtyard. The Pool Bar and Cabana provides a more casual rhythm poolside, where the heated outdoor pool sits surrounded by greenery and cabanas that feel more garden party than resort deck. For evening drinks, the Lobby Lounge offers cocktails beneath the glow of the main building's restored interiors. The on-site wellness experience includes a full-service spa with treatment rooms and a well-equipped fitness center. Throughout the grounds, the landscaping does much of the atmospheric work, with mature palms, Birds of Paradise, and flowering hedges creating layers of green between the buildings.
Santa Monica unfolds just beyond the hotel's perimeter. The Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica Pier, and Palisades Park are all within easy walking distance. The neighborhood's farmers markets, independent restaurants, and oceanfront bike path are part of the daily fabric here, and the hotel's bluff-top position means you feel the proximity to the water even before you see it. The Fairmont Miramar is a place where the history of the property and the energy of the coastline meet quietly, where a century-old fig tree still marks the threshold between the city and a slower, more generous pace of time.

What we love about this stay
There's something about a hotel that sits right in the middle of a city yet feels genuinely unhurried — the Fairmont Miramar pulls that off with a quiet confidence. It's coastal without being kitschy, elegant without being stiff, and the sense of place comes through in rooms that frame either lush gardens or ocean views, giving you a real choice of mood. Fig Restaurant leans into Santa Monica's produce-driven sensibility in a way that feels rooted rather than performative, and the poolside bar has that easy, end-of-day energy that makes you want to stay put. What lingers is the balance — urban access with the ocean close enough to hear at night, a property that never asks you to choose between stillness and stimulation.
