We spent 4 nights in Santa Monica at the Fairmont. We had an ocean view room with a balcony. The room was a bit small but luxurious. The entry way to the hotel is beautiful with an Australian Fig tree that we couldn't look at enough. The staff was helpful and friendly, especially the door men. We could walk across... more

We stayed at the Miramar for 3 nights in an Ocean Tower room. The service was excellent - on par with the service at the Ritz Carlton. After just a day, everyone knew our names and greeted us personally, helped us with our rental car, sent packages back home, gave restaurant recommendations, and assisted with a very easy room change.... more

This place is so beautiful - we were upgraded to a bungalow and absolutely loved it! The hotel is located near the shopping and easy access to the path over the ocean. The service was fantastic and the vibe is very relaxed and yet it makes you feel glamorous. I would recommend staying at this hotel - we found it... more

I stayed there with my family for 2 nights. I got a reasonable rate through my company so I didn't find it too expensive. Yes they gouge you on valet parking. But great affordable dining is available walking distance for the hotel. Our room was large(425 sq ft) and well appointed. The service was outstanding. We were traveling with our... more

We just returned from a 3 night stay at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel and the whole stay was fantastic! We arrived to the hotel in th evening and were checked in quickly with no problems. We got to our Ocean Tower room where the hotel had placed a bottle of champagne and a platter of chocolate covered strawberries that had... more

Great hotel, very good service and cleanliness. Fully equipped gym. Only downside the swimming pool although lovely and warm (as it is heated), the position is in the shade most of the day and the beach a long walk down. Restaurant quite pricey but apart from this I would recommend this hotel. Great location for restaurants and shopping. more

This is a lovely hotel with two very different wings. We stayed in the Ocean Tower. The room was rather small, but was very well appointed, with a small balcony and beautiful ocean views from our upper floor room. The bathroom was small but very nice, and, as another reviewer mentioned, strangely had a louvered, rather than solid door. The... more

Having stayed in a dive in Anaheim, this was a little piece of luxury to relax and recover from Disney. I agree, it isn't the quietest hotel, and isn't very close to the beach, but really none are, but it has the luxury one would expect from a Fairmont. The room was a good sized, with two double beds, and... more

Never again will I stay here. 5 rooms in 4 nights, which invariably suffered from either the noise of elevators, the road (big, old windows with poor double glazing) or noise of air-conditioning - so loud in two of the rooms it felt like they were vibrating and at first I thought it was a swimming pool pump. Some of... more
