Santa Monica Hotels for Soccer Travelers
Oceanfront Calm Between the Excitement
Soccer may be the reason for your visit to Los Angeles, but the time between the games can be just as memorable if you stay at Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows. For travelers seeking Santa Monica hotels for soccer travelers, the property offers a rare balance: close enough to SoFi Stadium to make game days simple, yet far enough removed to feel like a true oceanfront getaway. Start and end your days here and you’ll have easy access to quintessential beach living, beach activities, and world-class shopping and dining.
Start Your Day with the Coast
The games themselves may be raucous, but the hours leading up to kickoff can stay blissfully calm. At Fairmont Miramar, you can welcome each morning with a sunrise walk along the bluff or the soft sand of Santa Monica Beach, or ride a complimentary beach cruiser along the beachfront bike trail to Venice Beach or towards Pacific Palisades. Or start slower; stay on the property and savor an alfresco breakfast or morning dip in the pool.
Shop, Stroll, and Explore
While the outdoor pool, gym, spa, myriad restaurants, and lush grounds give you reason to linger on the hotel property, Santa Monica’s shopping streets may inspire you to venture out. The nearby pedestrian-only Third Street Promenade is flanked by national retailers, local boutiques, street performers, and bustling restaurants. Several farmers’ markets offer opportunities to shop for fresh ingredients and prepared foods and mingle with locals. Montana Avenue is peppered with distinctive boutiques, galleries, and cafés. For families, the Santa Monica Pier offers classic boardwalk fun: arcades, Ferris wheel rides, and photo-worthy ocean views.
Return to Luxury at Fairmont Miramar
Between adventures, the hotel is a place where you actually want to linger between kickoff times. Lounge on the pool deck overlooking the Pacific, sip a cocktail under the palms, unwind with a rejuvenating spa treatment, or watch the games from one of the various on-property gathering places broadcasting the matches.
Dine, Relax, Repeat
Santa Monica is home to an array of worthy restaurants ranging from taco trucks to Michelin-rated destinations. But you’ll also find enough exceptional and diverse dining at Fairmont Miramar tosatisfy all tastes and cravings. Upscale bistro FIG offers farmers-market-driven, seasonal California cuisine with Mediterranean influences, such as fresh salads, wood-fired pizzas, seafood, and housemade pastas. The Lobby Lounge serves California-inspired bar bites and light meals alongside craft cocktails and wines in a relaxed indoor–outdoor setting by the koi pond. Soko specializes in refined Japanese sushi and sashimi, highlighting pristine fish and precise technique in an intimate space off the lobby. Dogtown Coffee brews up a laid‑back local vibe with espresso drinks, cold brew, and casual café fare like breakfast burritos, pastries, and sandwiches. The Bungalow, a lively scene and be seen indoor–outdoor lounge, features coastal California bar snacks and shareable plates paired with signature cocktails in a rustic, beach‑house atmosphere.
Whether you’re planning a soccer-focused stay or simply want to experience Southern California’s oceanfront lifestyle at its most relaxed, Fairmont Miramar provides a luxurious, convenient, and truly coastal experience. During major sporting events, shared spaces naturally become informal viewing and gathering spots, and this is sure to be the case during the soccer games. Along with food and drink specials, there will be various areas broadcasting the games, allowing you to find the camaraderie of likeminded fans without stepping foot off the property.
Stay at Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows for the 2026 soccer games and by the time the final whistle blows, Santa Monica will feel less like a base camp and more like your own glorious corner of the coast.
