PB hotel design editorial

Where Eucalyptus Lane meets the Pacific in Montecito, a compound of white-painted shingle-style pavilions spreads across nearly six beachfront acres — one of the last privately held stretches of sand on the Southern California coast. That site alone would have been enough, but when the Rosewood Miramar Beach opened in 2019, the development team chose to build something that felt less like a new hotel than a private estate that had always been there. The original Miramar Hotel, a beloved if somewhat ramshackle institution that anchored this address for over a century before closing in 2000, haunted every design decision. Architect Rafael Berkowitz and interior designer Alexandra Champalimaud worked to honor that memory without replicating it, producing 161 rooms and suites across low-slung, two-story cottages and a main manor house with hipped roofs, white-railed balconies, and grey slate detailing against the Santa Ynez mountains. Champalimaud's interiors strike a balance between East Coast nautical and California ease — navy velvet ottomans and chevron-patterned rugs anchor rooms papered in fine ticking stripe, while nailhead-trimmed dining chairs and warm walnut floors keep the atmosphere from feeling too summery or slight. The beachfront restaurant opens its entire ocean-facing wall at sunset, a wall of folding glass panels dissolving the boundary between the lacquered bar and the terrace beyond. At the pool, yellow-and-white striped cabanas recall the resort's mid-century golden era with enough graphic confidence to feel entirely contemporary.

"Stayed at the Rosewood Miramar for my birthday and brought my parents with me, and it ended up being such a special trip. From the moment we got there, the service really stood out. Federico helped with all our luggage right away, and Daniel at the front desk surprised us with an upgrade to a beachfront unit. I genuinely wasn’t expecting that at all, it was kind of shocking walking in. Waking up to the sound of the ocean every morning was unreal. The pools were great overall. I started at the adults-only pool but the service was a little slow at first, so I ended up going to the family pool instead. Completely different experience. Nick helped me get set up right away and brought over a menu. Night and day. One thing that really stuck with me: while I was at the pool, my parents went to a driving range nearby and forgot their hats. The valet team ended up giving them hats at no charge, which they were so touched by. It’s little things like that that make a place stand out. Breakfast was amazing, and dinner at Caruso’s was definitely a highlight. Also want to call out Kai from valet, he was always so warm and welcoming every time we came and went. I’d definitely recommend staying here, especially if you’re celebrating something special."

"There are hotels you visit, and then there are places that quietly become part of your life, the Rosewood Miramar Beach is the latter. Tim, the front desk manager, sets the tone from the very first moment. His warmth, attentiveness, and genuinely caring personality are so evident in all he does. He has that rare ability to make you feel not like a guest passing through, but like someone truly known and welcomed. Every interaction with him feels thoughtful, effortless, and deeply sincere. What makes the Rosewood Miramar Beach so extraordinary is that it transcends the idea of a “stay.” It’s not simply a hotel it’s a place that feels familiar, like a second home. There is a rare sense of belonging here, created entirely by the people who make it what it is. Tim at the forefront of that. This has truly become our home away from home, the kind of place you carry with you long after you leave. Tim, thank you again for your exceptional care and for making every visit feel so special. We are so incredibly appreciative to know you!"

"Spending the Christmas holiday at Rosewood Miramar Beach has become a cherished family tradition, and our recent stay was exceptional. From the moment we arrived on Christmas Eve, we were warmly welcomed by the entire staff. The valet, concierge, and front desk teams all made us feel truly appreciated. Our three rooms were wonderful, and we especially enjoyed the personalized touches, including the gingerbread house, the welcome bottle of wine, and the excellent kids' amenities. The resort’s holiday decorations were beautiful. We loved the morning coffee and tea service, as well as the freshly baked pastries on Christmas morning. Despite the rain, we were still able to enjoy the Manor pool thanks to it being heated. The dining options were fantastic, particularly the Christmas morning room service and the Christmas Day brunch, which featured wonderful live music, fresh seafood, and an impressive dessert selection. We loved the newly opened Chanel Boutique and all the luxury shopping within the resort. There were lots of items to shop for and browse throughout our stay. The hotel car service was also very convenient when we needed to make a quick trip to Montecito Country Mart. The drivers were professional and friendly making sure to drop us off and pick up whenever we needed. Thank you for a memorable stay. We look forward to returning this spring break to enjoy the resort with our family once again."
