First night at the Fairmont on Christmas day 2017 = below average.
* Booked an ocean view room: assigned a 3rd floor room with a treetop view of obstructed ocean view
* Reassigned a room with Santa Monica Pier view - accommodating, thank you
* 5-monthbold baby woke up crying in the new room - room's thermostat was not working and no heat being vented even with temperature set at 80F - actual room temperature based on the portable heater the super friendly engineer brought was 68F. Disappointing that a basic room functionality did work properly at a 5 star hotel.
I am a business traveller and in 2017 I stayed at The Fairmont in Dallas, San Jose and Santa Monica. I believe this is my fourth visit to The Fairmont Miramar where my company holds our year end regional meetings. I spend most of my life on the road staying in many hotels. It is always a treat to visit Santa Monica. With the Pacific Ocean and SM pier across the street to the wonderful restaurants and shopping near by, this is always one of my top places to stay. It shows when a hotel works hard to earn your business and in my opinion, The Fairmont Miramar delivers a truly exceptional experience every visit. Also, my wife and I are big fans of Le Labo products that we first discovered here at The Fairmont.

Very comfortable place. Many rooms have ocean view. Restaurant is very good. I always enjoy the stay here.
Awesome and classy place. Beautiful hotel and entrance. Lovely staff. Bungalows are great if you like loud music, pretty girls and a mingling feel.
Thank you to Kirk and his concierge team for helping my fiancé and I off to the ER the morning after our good friend's wedding. They shipped my rental tuxedo back for me and transferred all of our baggage to another hotel we were staying at for the next few nights. This was all organized and taken care of while waiting in the stressful confines of the ER. In addition, the service throughout our stay and at the wedding was impeccable. Thank you again, and we will be back.
The service is perfect. We had arrived early for our reservation. Raymond looked after us and upgraded our room. He directed us to the lounge and arranged to take care of our check while we waited for our room.
Awesome place to day drink. Really chill spot with a bunch of cool people. Drinks were a little pricey but it's California. The beach views are amazing and I was relaxed and was meeting people left and right. Spent hours here and didn't get bored at all. The music was cool and there was seating both inside and out. All of the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Probably the best time drinking I had. 5 stars hands down. Will be returning in November and can't wait to go back to Bungalows!
Pricy hotel but worth the cost. Exceptional service and food, you can enjoy Fig restaurant's food delivered right on the beach! This is not like a typical American hotel. Bungalows recommended. I stayed in Palisades wing Suite and a Premium bungalow but I would recommend the latter. A bit smaller than a suite but nice atmosphere and superb decor.
Ambiance was really nice, definitely more of a casual place. Drinks are good but a little pricey. Definitely can be crowded outside. No line if you go around 10, but definitely a long line around midnight. Bathroom was surprisingly clean, even the co-ed one!
The Bungalow was beautiful. Great atmosphere. Great drinks. The waitress came around just as often as we wanted more drinks. I highly recommend this place to both tourists and locals.
I visited the Bungalow and got there right at noon when they open. It was a fantastic bar. They have ping pong, pool, and a fire pit. There were also a few bars so drinks were never far away. The place feels like you are hanging out at a house. I hear it gets really busy at night but enjoyed my day visit.
Few of us met up at the bungalow and it was nice but very crowded. It's nice that they have three bars available and outdoor seating. Overall had a good time lots of fun!
Went to the bungalow on a Saturday night. It's was packed with people, getting drinks was a little difficult but luckily they had a staff member moving people away from the bar that were just standing around. This place definitely knew what they were doing. Great place to chill with a group of people but be prepared to spend some money.
Awesome; we experienced a mix up between the Fairmont booking Agent and this Hotel here in Santa Monica and this included our own misunderstanding of the same but true to form, the Fairmont team on property, especially Allyson Humphrey's and Adrianne were fantastic. We were treated very well and this is of need of specific mention before stating how fantastic this property is in design, location and function. The Valet team is even great and courteous. The restaurant on site is very good, the fitness facility with the outdoor option is perfect. Danielle at the Concierge very helpful and pleasant. Great place to be for a few days and if you can spoil yourself with a bungalow go for it, otherwise prefer the Tower over the low rise older building. enjoy!
