Get A Room: Bungalow One in Santa Monica

by Jessica Amento

Dreaming of a place where all of your troubles melt away? You’ll find it in The Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows’ Bungalow One. Surrounded by gorgeously landscaped gardens, the three-bedroom poolside retreat is a private escape located footsteps away from the beach in the heart of Santa Monica.

Originally built in the 1930s, the hotel’s bungalow suites have housed a myriad of Hollywood icons over the years, including Marilyn Monroe, Jean Harlow and Barbara Streisand. Equally alluring to the modern day movie star, Bungalow One is second to none thanks to its recent renovation by LA-based interior designer Michael Berman. Marrying midcentury elements with beach-chic style, Berman created a truly glam space — and we’re showing you how to emulate the look today!
