The best location and kept secret in all of LA, I tucked into my bungalow by the beach which was a magical hideaway. It was nestled behind Ocean Avenue which was perfect for daily walks along the beach with my dog. The room was beautiful and felt like my own modern California surf bungalow. The housekeeping staff made it so thoughtful every day with fresh water, fruit, flowers and coffee. The Emwell studio located at the hotel was so convenient for daily yoga and pilates and I found myself having drinks in the lobby lounge with my little dog every day which was enhabved even more with the live pianist. FIG was delicious for breakfast and of course everyone was there at 5 pm for their Fig at Five 'happy hour' and I would highly recommend the oysters and Sancerre! Finally, a little hidden gem is the Soku Japanese restaurant which is one of the most authentic I've ever had ... The staff was incredibly warm and anticipated every need, not to mention Ekaterina who ensured we were comfortable and had everything we needed. If you're looking for a great escape and a bungalow by the beach, this is your spot!

I really enjoyed my stay at the Fairmont Miramar. They have a great restaurant and cafe inside with great food, they also have little stores inside which I find so convenient. The valet service was so great thanks to Johan, Gael, and Armando. They gave me a lovely welcome to the hotel and made parking for me so much easier. Overall I would recommend everyone to stay there they will not regret it.

Absolutely horrible. The rooms were dirty. The service was awful. The food was very low quality. I tried to talk to a manager. The manager was very annoyed and not even wanting to be there. Apparently, everyone in the restaurant jokes around about how horrible the place is now and one of the waiters even told me that the club outside is the only reason they’re open anymore. The hotel is just completely ignored. Stay away from this disgusting place.

Had a basic room at the Fairmont for NYE and they rooms here leaves much to be desired. Older room with carpet flooring and basic bedding. Definitely at 3 star hotel at 5 star pricing.

We recently enjoyed a stay at the Santa Monica Fairmont. We have stayed here a few times now and find it very enjoyable and the rooms and customer service is wonderful. We recently had our Fire Department Christmas party down the street and the Fairmont was perfectly situated. Special thanks to Ms. Kim Dorfman who has helped us several times now with our group rates and she goes out of her way to make sure we are well taken care of. Kind Regards, Captain Tommy Kitahata Los Angeles Fire Department

We were looking for a wonderful location in Santa Monica ...when we arrived at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows we found a marvelous hotel, with a great concierge to help us and a superb view of the ocean! It was a dream come true.
