I ventured to Santa Monica for a conference and went with my husband hoping to get a little leisure time in here and there. This hotel location is very good for Santa Monica area. I thought we would splurge and at least enjoy a nice hotel room. I must say I was very dissappointed in the room. It is TINY... more

Stayed here for 2 nights on the way to French Polynesia. Expensive, but you definately get something special in terms of Hotel, surroundings and service. Wasnt sure about how to get there from LAX so asked them for a car - a stretch limo turned up to collect us. A bit embarrassing but we soon got used to it! Our... more

I stayed here in late May with my wife on a extended weekend getaway. Pretty much every aspect of the experience was top notch. The room, in the original tower portion of the hotel, was clean, comfortable and well-appointed. Not huge, but big enough, with a really great view of the ocean and the Santa Monica pier. The staff was... more

I've been staying at the Miramar for almost 25 years (usually twice a year). I wouldn't stay anywhere else in LA. Although quite pricey, it's a beautiful maintained property; the location also can't be beat. That said, I have a couple of small quibbles. As a Fairmont President's Club member my personal requests (i.e. I'm allergic to down and always... more

I have a fear of lifts and always use the stairs, I explained this to a member of the restaurant staff,he was helpful and immediately pointed me in the direction of the stairs... more

My partner and I checked into the Miramar over the Memorial Day weekend holiday after staying at another hotel that left us quite unimpressed and unsatisfied. Surprisingly enough, I was able to snag a "Fairmont Savers" rate over the holiday weekend. I can't say enough wonderful things about this hotel. First of all, the location is superb right across the... more

Spent 4 nights here and have to compliment the management and staff. Aside from the very well laid out room I had there were many examples of great hotel management. I spent an afternoon at the pool where the only complaint was a small area around the pool in comparison with the number of rooms in the property, although there... more
