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

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

Dear rkmizz – I’m so pleased you found a little piece of paradise at our hotel!

We will definitely take into consideration the partnership with SoulCycle (I love those classes too!), but be on... 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!

This hotel is absolutely the worst i have ever stayed. The rooms are too small and the bathroom terrible. Im 1,85 m tall and I hit my head in the shower every day. They suggest me to move the room for the same size of my room and i decline. After that they charge me U$ 120,00 for the phone... More

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.

My wife and I decided to take a mini vacation up north from Newport Coast to Santa Monica for a few days. I booked with my AMEX Platinum card through the Fine Hotels and Resorts Website. By doing this, the resort guarantees early check in (12pm), late check out (4pm), breakfast included, and upgrade, and a resort specific amenity. The... More

Having stayed regularly at other Fairmont hotels, including their two hotels in Bermuda which are really top class, this one was a bit of a disappointment. It’s a very pretentious hotel but as soon as you scratch the surface you realize it’s far from meeting expectations. Our room was reasonably large (although not very large by US standards) but much... More

The property is gorgeous and the staff are so welcoming and helpful. The location can't be beat close to the boardwalk and 3rd st. Had a wonderful massage in the spa as well. Definitely recommend. My room was a bit of a walk, but still really nice.
