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.

We have stayed at various Fairmont Hotels around the world and this is the worst experience so far. We booked this hotel with our Expedia Gold status and had the option for a free upgrade. We understand this perk was based on availability but at check-in, the gentleman at the front desk did not even mention about this despite us having inquired about it three days ago. We also should have a food and beverage credit added for our stay which was also not brought up at all when we checked in. The room we stayed in had dust everywhere. The hairdryer had plastic peeling off. The ceiling lamp in the washroom had rust and mold. The towel in the bathroom was damp before we even used it. The bathtub drain cover was not clean and was peeling off. We are now worried about having health issues from these unsanitary fixtures and amanites. The fan from the bathroom was also not working properly (not even sure if it was even working at all) as the mirror was still fogged up after 30 minutes of taking a short shower. This is not the standard we expected after having great stays at other Fairmont Hotels. Definitely don’t recommend the Fairmont Miramar. Pick other hotels if you can. Read less

We had an amazing early lunch with Maricela at the lobby restaurant- she gave us the best service and was so friendly to our kids- brought them blankets when they were cold and turned on the heat lamp. Excellent, thoughtful service and wonderful menu recommendations. I had the fish tacos, the kids had chicken tenders, Mac and cheese, and we all… Read more
