quote:

Quite a few hotels in Los Angeles can boast century-long luxury pedigrees, but few are as grand (or as ideally located) as the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica. The hotel is dramatically situated above Santa Monica beach, at the convergence of Wilshire Boulevard and the Pacific Ocean. The Miramar Hotel was built in the early 1920s, when Santa Monica was a popular vacation locale for jet-setting celebrities. Over the years it continued to host several U.S. presidents and foreign dignitaries (not to mention Marilyn Monroe, Barbra Streisand and Steven Spielberg). The hotel’s location near the Santa Monica Pier and the Third Street Promenade makes it a highly desirable place to stay. The Fairmont Miramar Hotel offers three exceptional locales: the historical Palisades wing, the recently renovated Ocean Tower (with fabulous views of the beach and ocean) and the spectacular private garden bungalows. Décor ranges from stylish Colonial rooms to beautiful tropical-themed suites and bungalows. Dine at the Grille or sip cocktails in the lobby’s charming Koi Pond Lounge.
