From the moment that the attendant in the parking lot welcomed us to the Fairmont to the thank you note and chocolates we received from the Concierge, Sheri, my stay at the Fairmont couldn't have been more enjoyable. This was our 2nd visit and we were warmly greeted by Sally at the front desk and server Jordan took good care... More

We've been going to the Miramar for 7 years now, every May. It has always been a wonderful oasis, with top notch service, staff and accommodations. However on our last trip and then again on this trip even more so, we've noticed a trend towards big elaborate events on the property, closing off the main entrance, the erection of additional...

Let me just start by saying I am a Fairmont President's Club member. Our first night's stay was nice. Upgraded to a Palisade Suite that was renovated. And the next three nights were a nightmare. We were told we had to move to another Palisade Suite - and embarrassed to even say we paid $725 per night for that room.... More

Dear MagnoliaTraveler – While it was very difficult to read your review, I sincerely thank you for taking the time to write it and provide your feedback. I am pleased you were able to experience one of our newly renovated suites (if only for a short while)…this is the direction in which we are taking the rest of the property,... More

Recommended close by LA beach if you are there for the ocean. Closed to the 3rd street, which is the main shopping area in santa Monica. Everything you might need in a walking distance. Yet, having a car is essential in all over LA

I usually stay at the Ritz Carlton Marina del Rey, which I love, but this place may have been even better. The hotel is pristine and my room was lovely. The room service left something to be desired, but the hotel restaurant was good. Luckily, there's a lot within walking distance, so you won't be cooped up much if you... More

The Fairmont is an excellent option for the business traveler who wants to mix in pleasure. The business amenities are satisfactory and the ambiance provides a lovely respite in between meetings. The staff is accommodating and extremely helpful. There is a SoulCycle around the corner (Wilshire & 2nd) which was so convenient. It would be great if the Fairmont partnered... More

The Fairmont is a beautiful hotel. Our room was large (even had a balcony overlooking Santa Monica beach), personnel could not have been more accommodating. Can't imagine how this hotel was rated poorly by Gmsaba? Fantastic!

We spent the past weekend at the Fairmont Miramar with our two young sons and had a wonderful stay. We were a bit concerned by the other reviews about the noise from the new club but found that we had no reason to be. The rooms were very comfortable and we found it very quiet at night.
