Fairmont Miramar Hotel
Los Angeles, United States · ★★★★★ · 8.8/10 Excellent · guest rating
5-star hotel in Santa Monica, on the west side of the Los Angeles area, a five-minute walk from the beach, with bungalows, a spa, an outdoor pool and three restaurants.
Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows is at 101 Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica, a coastal city on the west side of the Los Angeles area. It combines a main building with bungalows that offer a more secluded feel on the same grounds, among gardens and terraces. From here you can walk to the Third Street Promenade, the beach and the pier, so the car takes a back seat for much of your stay.
Dining includes three restaurants serving California cuisine, a poolside bar and a cafe. There is also a spa with massage, aromatherapy and facials, yoga and fitness classes, a 24-hour fitness center and bike loans. The hotel is listed as family- and pet-friendly, and offers concierge service and multilingual staff; confirm conditions and hours with the hotel itself before you travel, since they can change with the season.
Why stay here
- 5-star hotel in Santa Monica, near the beach
- Bungalows with a secluded feel on the grounds
- Three restaurants, a spa and an outdoor pool with a bar
- Third Street Promenade about a 2-minute walk away
- Tip: ask for a garden-view room for a quieter night
The setting
The hotel occupies grounds with gardens and an outdoor pool, surrounded by palm trees, in a beach and shopping district. The rooms have roomy beds, a desk and modern bathrooms, some with a tub and others with a dark granite countertop. The bungalows add privacy and often have their own sitting areas. Ask for a room with a garden or pool view if you want quiet, since Santa Monica is a busy destination.
