Rosewood Miramar Beach
Oceanside glamour in Montecito
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience goes beyond how your surroundings look — how your visit makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in 1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star

Four-Star

Home to megawatt celebrities like Oprah and
Ellen, Montecito, California, has a new star in town. Opened in March 2019 on
the former grounds of Miramar By The Sea Hotel, Rosewood Miramar Beach is turning
heads as one of California’s only luxury oceanfront resorts with rooms directly
on the sand.
Owned by legendary developer Rick Caruso (builder
of L.A.’s upscale The Grove shopping center), the hotel feels more like a regal
family estate. A manor-style home serves as the heart of the property, with private
bungalows for rooms and posh “backyard” amenities, like a grand lawn, English-garden-style
landscaping, a bocce ball court, giant hammocks and a fire pit.
The coastal-chic design combines approachable
and playful features (pink open-air Jolly cars shuttle guests around the 16-acre
resort) with opulent touches (such as the sweeping spiral staircase in the
lobby). The new-build hotel’s rooms, furnishings and grounds are pristine. It
feels like you’ve been given special access to experience the property before
it’s even opened.
