History & Story
The Miramar history began in 1876 when Josiah and Emmeline Doulton purchased the 20 acre ocean front property in Montecito. In 1889 the Doultons built a separate cottage for visiting friends, which soon served to accommodate outside guests. Originally called Ocean View Farm, a guest at the hotel suggested that the name of the destination be changed to “Miramar”, meaning “behold the sea.” Over the years, the hotel was expanded and by 1910 there were 29 structures on the property. The Miramar struggled during the Depression and the Doultons eventually sold the hotel to Paul Gawzner on November 3, 1939. The property went through several owners from 1998 to 2005. Finally, in January of 2007, Rick Caruso purchased the Miramar for an undisclosed price.
Date Renovation
The Miramar is a completely new resort as of February 2019, with interior design from Diane Johnson and Nancy Corzine.
