Fairmont Miramar - Hotel & Bungalows

Great location for staying in downtown Santa Monica. The service and staff were top notch. To get to the beach, the walk is not too far, or you can schedule a shuttle to take you down - with towels and chairs! Our stay wasn't terribly long, but this hotel made it memorable. Oh, and the big ol' fig tree in the front is cool too if you are into that.

Hotel is not on the beach but there is a shuttle to get to it. Note you have to pay $50 something for parking. Hotel bed is comfy. Modern-ish rooms with cool tablets in each room and books you can take home. Loved that they had a turn down service. Be forewarned, if you stay on the side with the Pier view, on a Saturday night the hotel turns into a club and you can hear the music go all night long. It was a bit loud!

Had a great few days here, would stay here again.

I haven't stayed here, but did attend a dinner and the staff in the restaurant, front desk, and parking were all super to interact with. Genuinely nice and helpful team members. The property is beautiful and the incredible tree out front is amazing, unique and irreplaceable.

Loved this place so much! It’s beautiful and breathtaking. The view is great, pillows and bed is fantastic, and the bathroom has everything you need including a makeup mirror. Love that they have shower gel instead of just bar soap. They also gave us complimentary apples and oranges upon arrival.

They did not do anything special for my birthday, though, even though previous reviews say that they celebrate your birthday with cake. My husband told them more than once and they didn’t do anything which was a little disappointing. Maybe they don’t do anything special anymore.

Coffee in your room is included. Gym is fantastic- it has an outdoor area with a view! And peloton bikes which I had never tried before. The fitness classes were also excellent. If I had more time, I would’ve visited the Fig restaurant. My husband said it was wonderful and he would go back even if he was just in the area. Amazing decorations for Christmas, too! We even took home a bottle of wine with our hotel credit. It was a fabulous stay.
