Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows

Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows sits at 101 Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica. It is a ten-minute walk from Santa Monica State Beach and the Third Street Promenade, while the Santa Monica Pier is a fifteen-minute walk away.

Most hotels near the coast prioritize the immediate beach proximity, but this property uses its location to create a buffer from the tourism hub. While it shares the same shoreline as the surrounding seaside resorts, the atmosphere feels more like a private enclave than a transit point for the pier crowds. If you want the Pacific air without the foot traffic of the main thoroughfares, this is the better choice. It is a quieter, more anchored alternative to the high-turnover hotels closer to the sand.
