Who Fairmont Century Plaza suits — our verdict first
Fairmont Century Plaza is Century City’s renovated scale play: spa, rooms and a Westside midpoint. Book it for logistics and wellness. Choose Peninsula/Waldorf when you want smaller Beverly Hills luxury; choose Shutters when the Pacific is non-negotiable.
Getting there from Los Angeles International (LAX)
LAX to Century City is typically 20–40 minutes. The Avenue of the Stars address is straightforward for rideshares and useful as a geographic midpoint for Westside touring.
LAX is close on a map and slow in practice. Build buffer for the 405, award-show weeks and Friday afternoons. FlyAway buses and Metro connections exist, but most visitors with luggage still default to taxi or rideshare after long-haul flights.
Where it sits in Los Angeles
Fairmont Century Plaza sits in Century City at 2025 Avenue of the Stars. In LA terms neighbourhood choice is the trip: Beverly Hills and Bel-Air buy shopping and garden luxury; Santa Monica buys sand; West Hollywood buys Sunset Strip nights; Downtown buys museums, arenas and skyline.
Assume a car or rideshare between districts — walking neighbourhoods exist, but they are islands separated by freeways.

Rooms and what you actually get
Inventory is roughly 400 rooms and suites. Los Angeles room products swing from intimate Deco boutiques to renovated towers — square footage and view category often matter more than the star plaque.
Resort fees, parking and spa credits vary by rate. Read the live rate inclusions rather than assuming the headline nightly price is all-in.
Dining, days out and the stay rhythm
LA rewards matching the hotel to your days: Westside luxury for shopping and dinners; Santa Monica for bike-path mornings; Downtown for galleries and crypto-arena calendars; the Strip for nightlife. Fairmont Century Plaza works best when you lean into that geography instead of fighting traffic every morning.
Malibu, Getty Center and theme-park days are real half- or full-day commitments — book timed tickets and leave early.
How it compares with our other Los Angeles picks
Peninsula and Waldorf are the closer-in Beverly Hills luxury alternatives with fewer keys. Four Seasons Doheny and Beverly Wilshire cover other Westside five-stars. Conrad Downtown wins for arena and Arts District days instead of Century City.
Booking notes and practical tips
Indicative nights sit around £280–£650 depending on awards season, holidays and leisure weekends — use the live rates panel for current partner prices.
Request bed type and view in writing. Budget for parking if you rent a car. Pack layers: coastal mornings run cool even when inland afternoons do not.

Where is Fairmont Century Plaza?
Fairmont Century Plaza is in Century City at 2025 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles area 90067. Use that exact address for rideshares — LA districts confuse GPS when you only type the hotel name.
How many rooms does Fairmont Century Plaza have?
About 400 rooms and suites. Exact counts can shift after renovations — confirm your room type when booking.
How far is Fairmont Century Plaza from LAX airport?
Los Angeles International is typically about 20–55 minutes by car depending on whether you are going to Santa Monica, Century City, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood or Downtown. Always add buffer for the 405 and evening events.
Is Fairmont Century Plaza good for first-time Los Angeles visitors?
Fairmont Century Plaza suits travellers who want renovated scale and spa depth. Skip it if you are among ultra-boutique seekers. Century City only pays off when that area matches most of your evenings — not when it is merely the cheapest night.
Beverly Hills, Santa Monica or Downtown?
Stay Beverly Hills / Bel-Air for shopping and classic luxury. Stay Santa Monica for beach days. Stay West Hollywood for Sunset Strip nightlife. Stay Downtown for museums, arenas and skyline hotels. Pick geography first — LA is not a single walkable core.
What time is check-in and check-out at Fairmont Century Plaza?
Standard check-in is from 16:00 and check-out by 11:00. Early check-in and late check-out depend on availability — request them when booking, especially around awards season.
Do I need a car in Los Angeles?
Most visitors do for multi-neighbourhood itineraries. Santa Monica and some Downtown stays can work with rideshares and transit, but Beverly Hills–to–beach–to–Hollywood days without a car burn time and money on surge pricing.
Fairmont Century Plaza vs other hotels on this list?
Peninsula and Waldorf are the closer-in Beverly Hills luxury alternatives with fewer keys. Four Seasons Doheny and Beverly Wilshire cover other Westside five-stars. Conrad Downtown wins for arena and Arts District days instead of Century City.
