Travel

Attracted to the hotel's luxurious accommodations, exemplary service and unobtrusive pampering, guests are as awed today as they were in the "Roaring Twenties" when Santa Monica first became a popular seaside resort and the Miramar a favorite getaway for Hollywood's fabled movie colony. Celebrities came in droves to the spectacular hotel, seeking a tranquil haven from fans and the prying eyes of the media. Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, President John F. Kennedy, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, aviator Charles Lindbergh, Barbara Streisand, and Steven Spielberg chose the Fairmont Miramar as their home away from home.

For the better part of this century, The Fairmont Miramar Hotel Santa Monica has been a celebrated Los Angeles landmark and a stunning tribute to the elegance and charm of a bygone era.
