Fairmont Grand Del Mar

My wife and I attended the Supper Club under the Stars event at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar Tonight. It was a fabulous event, elegant, and intimate. The dinner was fabulous. Service was excellent, and the entertainment was great. A very enjoyable night for my wife, and I, and we plan to attend again. The event was very well organized. Andres was our server and he attended to every need we had. Well, done to the entire team. The Perrault’s

As a loyal Accor member who has stayed at Fairmont properties around the US, I can confidently say that my recent stay at the Fairmont in San Diego was truly next level. The hotel and grounds are breathtaking, and from the moment I arrived I was greeted with friendly smiles and a unique mobile courtesy check that I’ve never seen before, they genuinely made me feel like royalty. On Friday and Saturday night, I spent the evenings sipping cocktails and chatting with other guests in a relaxed, social setting. It made solo travel feel anything but lonely. What stood out most was the staff. Their quick service was outstanding. Warm, attentive, and authentically friendly. It’s clear they love what they do, and it made a big impression on me. I even found myself thinking that Fairmont must be an amazing place to work, because the energy and care from the team was exceptional. If you’re heading to San Diego, this is the only place I’d recommend staying, especially if you’re traveling solo. I already can’t wait to come back.

We stayed at the Grand Del Mar for a little over a week in mid-June. We brought our 3 year old and 8 month old and would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a 5 star experience that is travelling with young kids. Our research beforehand indicated this was a great option for families and it certainly lived up to that. The hotel is first class, food is excellent, staff is tremendously helpful, amenities are great and the hotel does a terrific job with kids. They put on lots of kids activities whether it’s shows at the family pool, hikes, explorers club, or ponies ride. The staff are also great with kids and very friendly. We were travelling for my wife’s birthday and our anniversary. The hotel did a great job recognizing both. Staff were all very professional, accommodating and would check in to see if we needed anything or they could be of help. It’s difficult to find a luxury hotel experience that is accommodating to young families and the Fairmont Grand Del Mar certainly is. Price point is certainly high but our experience was full marks and value.

Go here if you want terrible service and to be treated like a second class citizen. My family and I couldn’t get out of there quick enough. Almost felt like we were bothering them.

This 5-star hotel was built a few decades ago by a billionaire newspaper mogul and modeled after his favorite place in Tuscany. It was unbelievably beautiful but ultimately sold to the Fairmont group and investors several years ago, losing its luster in the following years. It has undergone new ownership altho still run by Fairmont, and it is thankfully back to its original luster - fantastic grounds and impeccable service. If you want a 5-star resort complete with a golf course & two spectacular pools/hot tubs on several impeccably groomed grounds and lush suites, you need to stay here.
