Absolutely my favorite place to stay in Santa Monica let alone LA in general. It felt like a getaway and that’s what was
Pros:

Loved the tropical and private vibe. The pool
Was excellent and staff was BEYOND polite! The Bungalow was not huge but felt very private and like a beach house. I’ve already booked my return stay next week!

Cons:

The restaurant was I’d say just slightly better than average. Service was still good but the food itself I wouldn’t call amazing. Sausage was odd and flavorless like it was boiled, and overall it just didn’t live up to the standards the rest of the hotel set. It was also extremely expensive for what it was. An omelette a coffee and a Bloody Mary for $100 (without tip) seemed steep to me even for a Fairmont.

Amazing Reservation Team (in house)
Pros:

So excited for our upcoming stay next month, but want to give a shout out to the in- house reservation ladies. I have been researching 5 star hotel options across Beverly Hills, Malibu, Santa Monica & Santa Barbara. There's no shortage of options & it made planning this trip difficult. Just now made the decision to go w/ this property & can't thank Megan and Ainsley enough. Above 5 star service was given. Both were so professional, incredible at communications, beyond competent, so friendly & efficient. They went above and beyond to find the perfect set up for my family at the best value. We will stay here because of them. So appreciate the help & kindness!

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.
