About Fairmont Miramar
The Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows is a historic Santa Monica landmark set on five lush garden acres atop the coastal bluffs, anchored by its legendary 140-year-old Moreton Bay Fig Tree. Choose the Fairmont Miramar for a garden-and-bungalow estate feel with a storied heritage tree, the Westside’s largest ballroom, and inclusive package amenities just steps from the beach.
What couples love
The iconic 140-year-old fig tree provides a dramatic, one-of-a-kind ceremony and portrait backdrop. Five acres of gardens, bungalows and terraces give versatile indoor and outdoor settings. It offers the largest ballroom on the Westside, handling up to 400 guests. Bookings include a coordinator, bridal suite and provided tables, chairs and settings.
Good to know
The hotel sits atop the bluffs across from the beach rather than directly on the sand. All catering is in-house only, with no outside food and beverage vendors. Per-person minimums push costs up quickly for larger lists.
