Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, a member of the globally recognized Accor hospitality group, has partnered with Pacific6, an investment and development firm based in Long Beach, to unveil the Fairmont Breakers Long Beach. This iconic hotel, situated in the vibrant downtown area, has reopened following a multi-million-dollar overhaul that fuses historic elegance with modern luxury.
Just 25 miles south of Los Angeles, Fairmont Breakers offers a lively coastal escape with contemporary accommodations and premier amenities, juxtaposing the glamour of a bygone era with the beauty of the Pacific. Originally constructed in 1926, the property has been reimagined into an opulent retreat that boasts sophistication in its meticulously curated public areas and exquisite guest rooms and suites. Guests can indulge in the city’s sole luxury spa, a rooftop bar, and a sun-drenched pool terrace, along with two signature dining establishments, including the much-anticipated return of the Sky Room.
Where Historic Elegance Meets Modern Luxury
For decades, the Breakers has been a distinguished beacon on the Long Beach skyline, a cherished getaway for numerous legendary figures, including Elizabeth Taylor, Cary Grant, Babe Ruth, and Clark Gable. Infused with a rich past, the hotel harmoniously combines its vintage allure with contemporary design elements, showcasing thoughtful reflections of its history through art and guest experiences.
Guests are welcomed into 185 welcoming and beautifully decorated guest rooms, with 22 spacious suites featuring a refined coastal palette, characterized by deep blues accented with gold and mixed metals to echo the shimmering ocean.
