Overlooking Santa Monica Beach, Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows is conveniently located just nine miles from the Los Angeles International Airport and just minutes from The Getty Center, Beverly Hills, West Los Angeles, Century City, Malibu and Venice Beach. Indeed, all guest rooms have been designed to have the lowest impact on the environment. Rooms are either in the Ocean Tower with spectacular views of the Pacific or in the historical Palisades wing. Nestled among tropical flowers, palm trees and tranquil waterfalls are 32 secluded garden bungalows with exquisite furnishings and French doors that open onto private patios. Fitness enthusiasts will love the outdoor splash pool, whirlpool and health club. Massage is also available for those in need of pampering or simply pull up a sun lounger and soak up the sun. For fabulous dining, look no further than the new FIG Restaurant with Chef Jason Prendergast seasonal Bistro food. The Lobby Lounge is another great place to eat and chill out. Set against the soothing Koi fishpond and waterfall featuring open-air outdoor seating, the Lobby Lounge offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails making it a great place to socialise with friends and family. Combining the charm and romanticism of a seaside cottage, with the comfort and casual style of a Baja inspired casita, The Bungalow is Santa Monica’s most distinct lounge. The Bungalow is the perfect location to enjoy an intimate evening where you can relax in an atmosphere featuring sweeping outdoor decks leading to dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean and enjoy a refreshing cocktail or small bite from the exclusive bar menu from the FIG Restaurant. Many of Southern California's attractions are just a stone's throw from the hotel, including Santa Monica Pier and its historic carousel as well as Third Street Promenade - famous for its fine restaurants, live entertainment, movie theatres, shopping, local artists' scene and a weekly farmer’s market.

We stayed one night in celebration of my 65th birthday. We were in king room with an ocean view. The room & bathroom was rather small but very clean & comfortable. The service was top notch from check-in to check-out. I was welcomed & greeted several times throughout our stay. We received cookies & water delivered to our room by Carlos and then a slice of birthday cake! Then later he brought me a vase for some flowers I received from my son. The valet attendants were friendly and the house car service gave us a ride to our dinner reservations and the driver, Angel was very nice! We had breakfast the next morning at the Fig & that was also very enjoyable. The food was great! We really enjoyed our time and it was a memorable birthday for me. Thank you !

Amazing service. Came here to celebrate our engagement and the hotel were kind enough to upgrade us to a lovely room. Ethan was especially nice and helpful. I can’t stress enough how grateful I am to them.
Exceptional in Every Way!

I’ve had the great joy of staying at The Fairmont Miramar in Santa Monica on 3 occasions within a 2-month period, and everything from the rooms to the restaurants to the service and more was outstanding. Assistant Managers Matthew & Georgey went out of their way to ensure my experience would be one to remember every single time thanks to great kindness and wonderful upgrades. Same for Jermaine at the front desk whom it’s been a pleasure to interact with and also went above & beyond. All of it being a reflexion of the fantastic management leadership under the Hotel Manager Thay. Lastly, whether staying at the hotel or just visiting LA, Fig restaurant is a must-try; the space is beautiful, service impeccable, and the food delicious. Special thanks to Matt for the great menu recommendations and conversation.

Disappointing
Aug 18, 2025Trek4us
Stayed for 4 nights. We were given connecting rooms in the older building. A/C was off and on the first 2 days with broken unit. Leak in our room from the unit. At one point, workers in the room at 9:30pm trying to fix it. Per the manager this happens all the time.
Really bad view of a roof of another building.
Not what I would expect for over…

Really bad view of a roof of another building.
Not what I would expect for over 1000 dollars a night.
Friday night manager from 8/8 never followed up with us for the room change or compensation.
Manager on check out did compensate us but the hotel is not worth it.

I had an amazing stay at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel and Bungalows! To my pleasant surprise, Ekaterina Kurepina reached out to me before arrival to offer her assistance in making my stay more enjoyable. She asked about my preferences and my arrival time to make sure I received the room I prefer and ready to go for my early morning arrival! Thanks to her my stay started out seamlessly and I felt very welcomed even before I arrived.
There was a live piano performance in the lobby that I found to be a nice touch. I dined at the Fig restaurant for breakfast and my server Alex at the bar was very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive!
Great experience all around, I am looking forward to coming back soon! The location is perfect: close to the beach, Santa Monica pier and Santa Monica downtown. The hotel offers car service to its guests which is very convenient, even though lots of places are within walking distance. Highly recommend this hotel while you are in Santa Monica!
