Fairmont Miramar

The Fig restaurant at the Fairmont Miramar has long been a favorite among people who enjoy brunch and farmers' markets. Diners may load up on breakfast burritos, quiches, and steak and eggs for brunch (Sat & Sun 11am-2:30pm), while drinkers come for the Kegs and Eggs, any brunch item paired with limitless draft beer. From cereals and fruit bowls to tofu scramble and lemon ricotta pancakes, breakfast options are plenty.

Since almost a century, the Miramar has catered to the affluent and influential in California; previous visitors have ranged from Greta Garbo to Bill Clinton. The hotel was built in 1924 and has since undergone a number of stylish modifications, the most recent of which involved remodeling the lobby and the Grille. The 32 bungalows with private patios surrounded by lush tropical landscaping are in high demand from families, while the other guest rooms provide views of the ocean or the city. Seasonal cuisine at Fig Restaurant consistently receives high marks, while mind-body treatments are the main focus at Exhale Spa.
