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.

The valet service was amazing. We felt so welcomed by Chris the manager..Evan, Frank, Ami and Sandra. What a great way to start our visit ! Fig and Soko as well as the Lobby Lounge have amazing food. The fried chicken is out of this world, the sushi is the best we have ever had in the US and sea bass special at Fig was so delicious.

Rooms are nice and clean, the service is top notch. However, like other writers the noise from the bar/restaurant is AWFUL! We were here for business trip and after coming from the east coast and dealing with the time change we were exhausted and ready for bed at 10pm. Despite the ear plugs and sound machines and fan the thumping from the club right outside our room was OBNOXIOUS! It’s unfortunate that this is ruining our hotel experience. The hotel should really consider moving this club as those of us who need to rest are unable to until 2am. I would not come back here for this reason as when I am traveling I enjoy getting a good night sleep. Read less

This was the first time being back in the USA and at this great hotel since COVID hit, downside the area has changed somewhat in the 3rd street promenade with many shops closed etc which was a little disappointing. But, the hotel has remained the shining star it always was. Great job to the staff and Management for maintaining the high standards you always had and are still providing! The Fairmont is always our first or last point of call when in LA, after 10-15 stays at the hotel over the years, you should take pride in the establishment you have and we will always be back for another stay at some point!.

Started already bad at check in, your price isn’t the real price they add an obligatory fee, which would cover stuff that’s normal at Hotels. A reduction at the Independent Restaurants and Spa, 10% but you pay for it. A faster internet Connection which isn’t available. A bike (if available) which is nice but not worth, 50.- per day. Also a Breakfast Package isn’t available you only pay for an Voucher (70.- per day) The plates are over priced with a Coffee for 9.- and pancakes for 22.- The Front Desk wasn’t explaining anything at check in nor the employees at breakfast, it all feels like you are getting scamed into things. There is almost no Water Coming out of the shower. I regulary stay at Accor for Business and Holiday, this was the first bad experience but really bad. At least we could leave without any additional fees and fund another stay at Accor. Read less
