IF I WERE TO… Spend a day by a pool in Santa Monica, I would go to the Fairmont Miramar.

✦ My favorite Hotel to spend a day
This hotel, part of the Accor group, is a true gem within Los Angeles County.
Located just across from Santa Monica Beach, between Ocean Avenue and 2nd Street, the setting is both central and peaceful.
The atmosphere is calm.
The place is beautiful.
Everything is well organized, well structured.
✦ The Pool
The pool itself is not extraordinary in size. It is not large.
But its atmosphere is perfect.
It is, to me, the perfect balance between the Californian vibe and a certain form of French elegance.
It feels like a small enclave — intimate, almost hidden.
Not crowded.
Not loud.
You have to know it to find it.
✦ Food & Experience
If you are there with children, there are dedicated menus available.
Otherwise, I would highly recommend the fish tacos or the Beyond Meat burger, which I personally love.
And if you are in the mood for something lighter, the hummus with fresh vegetables is always a very good choice.
Everything is simple, fresh, and well executed.
✦ Service
The staff is kind and attentive.
From time to time, they will come with small treats to taste — and this is something important.
We know it: taste creates memory, and memory creates loyalty.
✦ Access
Even if you are not staying at the hotel, access is easy.
You can purchase a day pass directly through the hotel, or via an app called ResortPass.
Once you arrive, everything is taken care of at reception.
✦ My Perspective
I have never had an average moment there.
Only beautiful, quiet, and precious ones.
The Fairmont Miramar is located at 101 Wilshire Bld, Santa Monica, CA 90401. Google Maps Link
