Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Stunning $150 million historic renovation blending Spanish Revival and Art Deco
- Incredible panoramic views from the Halo rooftop lounge
- High-end Le Labo bath amenities and sparkling marble bathrooms
Snel Overzicht: The historic charm is undeniable, but so are the thin walls and the hefty $46 nightly resort fee.
Beoordeeld door @adventureswithgi: My stay at the Fairmont Breakers was the ultimate luxury escape. From the serene spa treatments to the incredible caviar and beef wellington at dinner, every detail was perfect. Ending the night on the rooftop terrace with a drink was the highlight of my trip.

Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten
- The $46.48 resort fee includes a $60 spa credit and $40 F&B credit, so make sure you actually use them.
- The pool is on a lower 3rd-floor terrace, not the very top roof.
- Valet parking is $55/night, but there's a $50 offsite lot 0.25 miles away if you want to save $5 (probably not worth the walk).
Wat je mee moet nemen
- Earplugs or a white noise machine to combat the thin historic walls
- A chic outfit for dinner at Sky Room or drinks at Halo
Kamer Genie

“Hi team, I'm a light sleeper. Could you please assign me a room on a quiet floor, away from the elevators and as far from the rooftop bar noise as possible? A Bay View would be wonderful if available.”
