| Property Description | |
| The Fairmont Miramar Santa Monica sits atop the scenic bluffs of Santa Monica Beach, with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and infamous Santa Monica Pier. The historic five-acre site features a main building, a 10-floor tower, and a community of single and double story bungalows, and features the more ocean view rooms than any other Santa Monica hotel. The hotel was originally built as a private mansion in 1898 and soon became known throughout the country as the "White House of the West" due to the frequent stream of congressional visitors and celebrities of the time. The property opened its doors as a hotel in 1921. Today, the Miramar's historic buildings and meticulously kept grounds overlooking the Pacific Ocean recapture the glory of her past as a celebrated Santa Monica century landmark. The closest convention centre is in downtown Los Angeles, 12 miles away. |
