Fairmont Miramar - Hotel & Bungalows

"Rating between 3 & 4 stars. Loved the location and view on the ocean (although the hotel is not on the beach, there is a hill to walk down after crossing the road). We had breakfast at Fig and it was good but very expansive ($150 for 2). Did not like the wait at the vallet to get back the car (30 mins even if the car was a few steps away), there is a club/bar on the property that is very loud until 2am. It depends which side of the tower you are but you may be strongly impacted on weekends. There was only one elevator working so it takes a while to go up and down the floors. Our room was fine but not modern. Overall we had a good time but the value is not there and this is not elevated luxury."

"This is a beautiful old hotel at the far end of Santa Monica. It’s comfortable and plush without being overly posh… the food is amazing! Coffee shop could do better but as a location. - it’s perfect! The fig tree should be a national treasure - I’d stay again! Great restaurants too!!"

"Had a great stay here with the family just after Christmas. Everyone enjoyed being so close to the beach / boardwalk and so many great restaurants nearby and right on the water. The rooms are quiet and relaxing, with well-maintained and elegant decor. The refillable water bottle system was impressive and innovative… love that! We had a minor billing problem, but Andrew in the front office went above and beyond researching and fixing it proactively based only on a review comment. That level of service is rare, even in very high end establishments. Thanks!"

"A dilemma wrapped in an enigma. Very good service, professional excellent staff in a building that is both dated and varies between rough and fringiness. Most everything on the first floor is good, but once you get to your room, it is hard not to be disappointed. Dated decor, broken shades, small bathroom, clogged drains. (And we stayed in a suite!)"

"Really enjoyed our time at Fairmont Miramar. We came to this property for my company's annual holiday party and it did not disappoint. Every single member of the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We arrived early and we're able to unload our bags with the valet to be delivered when our room was ready. The coffee shop was perfect for much needed energy and small bites/smoothies. The property was gorgeous and thoroughly entertained our toddler with the many fountains. I don't think there is a bad view in this place, but ours was perfect for the sunset. Cannot say enough good things about our time here."
