A historic beacon on the Long Beach skyline since 1926, the newly reimagined Fairmont Breakers returns as the city’s first true luxury hotel—a landmark reborn at the intersection of Old Hollywood elegance and coastal modernity. Once a gilded escape for the stars of cinema’s golden age, the Fairmont Breakers has been thoughtfully restored, preserving its Art Deco bones while introducing a new era of hospitality to downtown Long Beach.

With original features like the crown moldings, brass letter boxes, and vintage telephones still intact, the hotel’s storied past is never far. But the Fairmont Breakers isn’t just paying tribute—it’s starting fresh. The interiors are rich with Deco flourishes and cinematic ambiance, offset by clean contemporary finishes and a refined color palette. Curated artwork and historic photographs offer nods to the hotel’s legacy without veering into nostalgia.

The property's culinary identity is equally ambitious. Five chef-driven destinations set the tone, headlined by the return of the beloved Sky Room, first opened in 1938. With panoramic ocean views and a storied guest list that once included the likes of Cary Grant and Elizabeth Taylor, the restaurant’s revival marks a defining moment in Long Beach’s cultural comeback. Other standouts include Halo, the only rooftop bar in Long Beach with panoramic views of the city, and Alter Ego, a speakeasy-style lounge channeling Prohibition-era allure with live jazz and moody interiors.

With the city’s cultural scene evolving quickly, Fairmont Breakers positions itself at the center of a new Long Beach renaissance. No longer a pass-through between LA and Orange County, the neighborhood surrounding the hotel is buzzing with independent galleries, Michelin-recognized restaurants, and an ever-growing list of design-forward retail and nightlife.

The 185-room property also debuts The Spa at Fairmont Breakers, a long-awaited luxury wellness destination for the city, offering locally inspired treatments along the Southern California coastline.

At once cinematic and sharply contemporary, the Fairmont Breakers is more than a restoration—it’s a statement. Long Beach is back. And this time, it's dressed in Art Deco.
