Rosewood Miramar Hotel closes after impacts from coronavirus crisis
MONTECITO, Calif. - The Rosewood Miramar Hotel has temporarily shut down due to the impacts of the coronavirus Covid-19 on the U.S. economy.
It is just one out of many to have done so amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The travel industry from coast to coast has been adjusting rapidly but there's been little or no business in many areas in the last week.
Nearby The Four Seasons Resort and The Biltmore Santa Barbara has also closed. It plans to reopen in mid-April according to the most recent time line.
It is unknown what the Miramar's future plans are at this point, but the operators say they are to reopen "as soon as possible."
The luxury hotel was a project of developer Rick Caruso after it was dormant for years in a tough rebuilding effort that involved multiple owners and a lengthy community process.
It opened in March of 2019.
In a post to its customers online the resort writes:
