Live the California dream, old and new, at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel Santa Monica (also known as the Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows).

Fabulous sunglasses not included (but private car transport to L.A. boutiques is).

DON'T EXPECT TO SLEEP

I had no sleep for the two nights I stayed there. Night club next door played music until wee hours and even though I was on the 8th floor, I spent the night staring at the ceiling. Had business meeting next morning, it was no good. Very disappointed.

Pretty good but a bit noisy

The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are very nice but a bit on the small side. The restaurant was very good with dishes made from very fresh ingredients. They have a driver that will take you anywhere within a 3 mile radius for free which came in tremedously handy. The only issue I have is that the walls were so paper thin that you could hear your neighbors and absolutely everyone who was in the hallway. My coworker could even smell the breakfast that was delivered next door. Unfortunately, that is enough of problem that I will likely look into another hotel when traveling to the Santa Monica area.

Fairmont Santa Monica

The Fairmont was a great hotel especially for the price I got it for on [...]. They were very accommodating with all my needs. The hotel also has a courtesy car that they will take you in up to 3 miles of the hotel. The rooms were a bit on the small side, I had a ocean view deluxe with a balcony, but other than that they were great! The room was clean and had everything I needed. The view was amazing. This hotel is close to everything you need in Santa Monica, shopping, dining, beach, the Pier. I would definitely stay here again!

Everyone rushes to the Third St Promenade which is nice but take a drive down to the Main Street area in Santa Monica. Very nice shops and restaurants with a very nice vibe to the place.

Tops in personal service

The Fairmont Miramar is the nicest hotel in Santa Monica. It is not inexpensive, but you will be sure to receive excellent value for your money. Personal service is tops, the residential suites are spacious and comfortable. My only complaint is that a new restaurant on premises is currently under construction and there was a lot of jackhammering going on during the day which is directly adjacent to the pool--the sound got rather irritating after a while. But even that could not fail to change my overall wonderful impression of this hotel. Proximity to Third Street Promenade is wonderful and although not right on the beach, walking is a wonderful thing to do in SM and you can do much of it from this location. Enjoy!
