Wonderful hotel with warm service
Pros:

We had a wonderful 5-day visit at the Fairmont Miramar. The hotel is very well located right across from the beach in Santa Monica, and close to everything. Upon check-in, we were upgraded to an Ocean view room, with breathtaking views.

But what makes the hotel really special are the people. All the staff members we met were very warm and helpful. A couple of examples: (1) we ate in the Lobby lounge three times -- everyone was so accommodating and (2) the parking attendants, particularly Alan, Johan, Chris, Deja and Matthew, were so welcoming and efficient.

We look forward to returning to the Miramar when we're in the LA area again.

Wow!
Pros:

I had the best experience with Alan, Sal and Sandra. I’ve never been so wowed by a valet team. They are amazing in every way and what service should look like at a hotel. I’ll be back for breakfast and a longer stay.

Can’t wait to go back!
Pros:

Amazing view of the ocean and mountains, top notch service, treated my daughter like a princess, beautiful hotel. Our stay was way too short and we cannot wait to go back. Location is fantastic for Santa Monica pier, going to the beach and 3rd St Promenade. Also a great base for exploring Venice Beach and other nearby neighborhoods. Ekaterina was amazing at getting us set up and everyone we were in contact with made us feel like at home (albeit a much fancier home!).

End of Route 66
Pros:

Everything was wonderful. So well thought out. So many personal touches. Upon check in there were strawberry’s, prosecco and card (we spent the last two days of our honeymoon here). The view was to die for. The location was excellent, within walking distance to the pier. If you are traveling Route 66, it’s a great spot to wrap everything up and just relax. I wish I remembered more names of the people that helped us but Matthew Ellie was extremely professional and kind. He gave us water for our trip home and helped load our very heavy luggage into our car.
Also there is a Dogtown Coffee location in the hotel as well as a few restaurants.

Love the Fairmont! 10/10
Pros:

I had an amazing night at the Fairmont! I took my girlfriend’s fitness class at EmWell and had the most delicious dinner at Fig. Will made us the most delicious cocktails and never fails to give excellent service. Matthew, Jonah, and Eddie always greet us with an outstanding attitude that sets a positive vibe for the night. Tonight we got to meet Deija, and she was such a sweetheart! We always love our time at the Fairmont and recommend coming to anyone who is curious:)

My visit was for a conference, so all business.
Pros:

Concierge “Mateo” was very engaging and informative when I inquired about the hotels amenities, history, and overall aesthetic. He helped to cultivate the relaxing ambience that the hotel clearly intends to create.

Pros:

Property is gorgeous, great amenities, location right across from the beach.

Cons:

Rooms were dated, balcony was sold as beach front and it was at an angle with large bars across hindering the view. Not what was shown online.

A great week by the beach!
Pros:

We have stayed at multiple Fairmont properties, and this is one of our new favorites. The service we received from every single employee was exceptional. The food, the spa, the vibe was all exactly what we hoped for on our vacation. Thank you for making our trip a memorable one--we will be back!

Great Service
Pros:

Just got back from a solo stay at the Fairmont Miramar in Santa Monica and it was exactly what I needed. The property itself is perfectly located for beach walks and easy exploring, but what really stood out was the service.

Everyone I interacted with was kind and attentive, but a special shoutout to Eddie at valet/concierge. From the moment I arrived, he made me feel genuinely welcome and took the time to share thoughtful recommendations that made my trip even better.

Traveling solo can sometimes feel a bit isolating, but the warmth here made it feel comfortable and easy. Would absolutely come back.
