Stayed with another 2 couples from 27th -30th September. Having previously stayed in 9 Fairmont hotel's I would have to say this is the poorest yet. I do agree the location is good but other than that it falls way below the normal Fairmont standrards. The rooms are bordering on 3 star standards. Very small, no soundproofing, tiny bathrooms, no... more

Great location for Santa Monica. 10 minute walk to the pier, 2 minutes to the north end of 3rd St promenade. Spacious, nicely appointed rooms, really nice pool area and gardens, efficient (although pricey at $33 per night) valet parking. Fig restaurant a bit of a disappointment, but there are lots of other options close by. more

Went there on a package deal and that helped keep costs down. Every staff member we met was polite and cheerful. Food was excellent from room service,front bar and Fig restaurant. Prices were high but if its this good you dont mind. Ordered breakfast in-room 3 times and it arrived right on when I had requested. Quite a hike to... more

A very well appointed and quality hotel. Excellent customer service, some of the best we have experienced. But I would repeat a few of tips to enhance your stay. Park in Second Sreet to to half the high valet parking costs. Ask for a coffee maker for your room (it is free). Join Fairmont Presidents Club to get free WiFi... more

Great location on the cliffs overlooking beach at Santa Monica. The rooms on one side have views over the beach towards Malibu and have great sunsets, and rooms on the other have views across the beach to Santa Monica Pier. The hotel is a 2 minute walk from 3rd promenade, the pedestrian shopping street and is right on Ocean Ave... more

The hotel is in an excellent location to enjoy the beach and Santa Monica. The rooms are small but nicely decorated. The bathrooms are small as well. We stayed in the new tower with an ocean view (toward Malibu) on the 8th floor - room 838. The view is nice but you won't hear the ocean - more traffic noise... more

After much shopping around, we picked the Fairmont Miramar Hotel for a recent 4 night visit. We got a rate of essentially $259/nt by booking a Deluxe Ocean View Tower Room using the Stay 4 Nights/Get 1 Free promotion. Here are the highlights: 1. Beautiful Decor and Grounds- The hotel felt like a luxurious, old money resort hidden amongst lush... more

We stayed here for 3 nights in a Palisades Suite with 2 kids. The room was lovely and spacious with a big Bathroom, espresso machine and THE BEST BED in the world! We had 2 nice balconies overlooking the ocean. Location is great and so are the views. We didn´t go to the pool because there are so many other... more

We stayed with our 2 boys ages 7 and 10 in a Pallisades suite. The room was very spacious with a door separating the main bedroom from the sitting room with the pullout sofa. They also allowed a rollaway in the room so my kids didn't have to share the pullout. The bed was comfortable and bottled water was left... more
