A Brief History
Miramar, meaning ‘to behold the sea,’ takes its name from its remarkable location on one of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in California. Completely reimagined and newly constructed, Rosewood Miramar Beach has revitalized the site of the former Miramar by the Sea, a once-cherished destination that closed its doors nearly 20 years ago.
Décor
Inspired by the beautiful homes and grand estates of Montecito, Rosewood Miramar Beach was manifested from owner Rick J. Caruso’s idea of a sprawling Montecito estate that grew over time, in tandem with the growth of a family – an homage to the genesis of the original property. The interior design of the property’s guestrooms and suites was a collaboration between two internationally renowned designers with extensive experience in the residential space: Diane Johnson and Nancy Corzine. Several design features pay tribute to the late esteemed Southern Californian architect Paul Williams, such as the Manor House’s luxuriantly curved staircase and the Cabana Pool’s distinctive serpentine-edge design.
Services
Guests of the Rosewood Miramar Beach are treated to an entirely personalized approach designed to complement their every need. Attentive and professional, yet never pretentious, this unparalleled level of service draws on traditions of gracious hospitality from eras past.
Guest Accommodations
Rosewood Miramar Beach has 158 ultra-luxury rooms, including 35 suites, spanning across 16 acres of lush landscaping. Guestroom and suite amenities include a custom ‘Marine Fresh’ amenity line, exclusive bed linens from Rivolta Carmignani, Caruso-blend signature coffees, and Mariage Frères tea.
