Historical Background
The original Miramar Hotel was the home of Santa Monica co-founder John P . Jones . Built in 1888 , the three story Victorian mansion included 17 bedrooms . In the 1920s the home was remodeled and enlarged and opened as the Miramar Hotel in 1921 . The portion of the hotel that comprised of Jones ' original home was demolished in the 1930s . Bungalows that opened to the pool area were added to the hotel in 1938 . In 1989 , in celebration of the hotel's 100th anniversary , a 33 million dollar renovation began , continuing into the 1990s . The bungalows that once lined the pool area were demolished and replaced with luxury one and two-story suites , and the old Ocean Avenue exit was moved and a new entrance created at 101 Wilshire Boulevard . The hotel was renamed the "Fairmont Miramar Hotel " when Fairmont Hotels and Resorts began managing the hotel in 1999 .
