Fairmont Hotel Santa Monica, Los Angeles (Hotel Review and Video)

…rip as we had been considering it for a short vacation hotel when we visit Santa Monica later in the year. I would not recommend it as a vacation hotel. The hotel is roomy, on very nice lush grounds and is very well maintained. The rooms are a good size with very big comfortable beds and small but good bathrooms. There is a good sized desk to work at. The hotel is quiet – and even though I was on the 2nd floor facing the road heard no street noise…

It is renown for Muscle Beach, an outside gym where Arnold Schwarzenegger used to work out years ago. It is a vibrant and busy area. As it is so well known many tourists feel they need to go and see it. Commerce Downtown is the commercial area. There is not a lot for tourists here, bu…

Santa Maria della Salute Church Venice But my favourite is heading away from the popular tourist icons to the backwater canals and narrow streets in areas like the Castello. It is just 10 minutes walk from Piazza San Marco along the lagoon front. This is where most Venetians live….

…tiful gingerbread village. There was also Christmas lunch on the menu, and Santa Claus arrived, but we didn’t get significantly more. We were simply paying more to be on a cruise ship at Christmas. If we’d gone two weeks earlier, we’d have had the same itinerary, same cabin, and entertainment. The daily program would have been pretty much the same and the food the same, too. But, it would have cost 30% less. That’s a really important consideration…

…it on this trip. The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…

Finally, when packing, don’t pack the cruise line umbrella, dressing gown, binoculars or other bits and pieces around the cabin.

…ke design. And of course, they have trolls everywhere. Always check on the label where they’re made. I would stress again that Norway is very expensive. The currency is the Norwegian kroner, and because it’s not the Euro, the exchange rate is more complicated, it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re paying. Make sure you understand it.
