A 1926 Southern California landmark reemerges in Downtown Long Beach with the transformative restoration of the 185-room Fairmont Breakers. The design honors the hotel’s storied past while setting a new standard for modern luxury. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by a newly restored entrance where Renaissance Revival architecture pays homage to the original vision of Walker & Eisen. Inside, the intricate historic framework provided inspiration for a fresh design approach—layering contemporary detailing onto the property’s 1920s canvas. The result is a seamless balance of classic glamour and modern sophistication, redefining the hospitality experience in the city. By uniting historic character with modern elegance, Fairmont Breakers Long Beach emerges as a destination that both preserves its heritage and defines the future of luxury hospitality.
