The hotel

Overlooking Santa Monica Beach, Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows is conveniently located just nine miles from the Los Angeles International Airport and just minutes from The Getty Center, Beverly Hills, West Los Angeles, Century City, Malibu and Venice Beach. Indeed, all guest rooms have been designed to have the lowest impact on the environment. Rooms are either in the Ocean Tower with spectacular views of the Pacific or in the historical Palisades wing. Nestled among tropical flowers, palm trees and tranquil waterfalls are 32 secluded garden bungalows with exquisite furnishings and French doors that open onto private patios. Fitness enthusiasts will love the outdoor splash pool, whirlpool and health club. Massage is also available for those in need of pampering or simply pull up a sun lounger and soak up the sun. For fabulous dining, look no further than the new FIG Restaurant with Chef Jason Prendergast seasonal Bistro food. The Lobby Lounge is another great place to eat and chill out. Set against the soothing Koi fishpond and waterfall featuring open-air outdoor seating, the Lobby Lounge offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails making it a great place to socialise with friends and family. Combining the charm and romanticism of a seaside cottage, with the comfort and casual style of a Baja inspired casita, The Bungalow is Santa Monica’s most distinct lounge. The Bungalow is the perfect location to enjoy an intimate evening where you can relax in an atmosphere featuring sweeping outdoor decks leading to dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean and enjoy a refreshing cocktail or small bite from the exclusive bar menu from the FIG Restaurant. Many of Southern California's attractions are just a stone's throw from the hotel, including Santa Monica Pier and its historic carousel as well as Third Street Promenade - famous for its fine restaurants, live entertainment, movie theatres, shopping, local artists' scene and a weekly farmer’s market.

Mold smell in the room they said they will check the AC they didn’t . shower drain blocked and not fixed even though we complained about it . The service in the fig restaurant was good . The pool bartenders were very nice . Pool area very small . We were supposed to stay there for 5 night we left after 2 . Overall not worth it .

Destiny and Danny were kind and thoughtful in checking us in and problem solving with us. Danny especially went above and beyond and made a point of talking to me with genuine kindness even walking around the counter to talk with me. I felt welcomed So grateful! They helped us in a very booked hotel and with tons of crowds and it was wonderful

Genuinely surprised how bad this hotel is. Check in was slow and problematic, breakfast had a 30 mins wait for a table until we complained and they seated us at one of the 8 tables that were available, the valet took ages to bring the car, and they held an event on a Thursday night that ran until past 11pm and was so loud that it was like a night… Read more

Never again. Avoid this hotel like the plague. Read less

The hotel is old, super noisy and overcrowded. The elevators were broken. We were disillusioned by the pictures. Definitely not a place I would recommend to vacation at. The beaches at Santa Monica are low class and dirty. Choose a different destination.

Amazing location, and a gorgeous room with great beach glimpses . Staff at front desk and guest services are beyond rude. Staff in Lobby Lounge are exceptional. It’s hard to recommend because service is really everything. They also appear to be understaffed at check out times and bag waits are long
