Springtime arrives right on time when all of us could use a respite from work, school, and other life obligations. But it isn't simply the school calendar that establishes spring break. You don't have to be a student to benefit from a rejuvenation dose. The sun sets later, comfortable temperatures reign supreme, and those uncanny exuberant feelings wave through the air like California poppies.
Whether you ignite your spring buzz from running the L.A. Marathon, cruising through city of angels or imbibing in a seasonally themed cocktail, the Fairmont Century Plaza is your Easter egg hiding in plain sight..
Speaking of Easter eggs, the Fairmont Century Plaza is full of surprises over the holiday weekend. The hotel’s bistro, Lumière, will host its first annual New Orleans-style Easter Brunch. A four-piece jazz band will accompany the legendary brunch menu with new NOLA-inspired additions cuisine, from lobster omelets and shrimp and grits to a dessert cornucopia. Join the vibrant N’Awlins-themed egg hunt, then follow the Fairmont's big, easy-going bunny-led parade. The Fairmont sweetens the basket this year with 50% off a second booked room, perfect for your family foray.
Cruise into Spring at the Iconic Fairmont Century Plaza Los Angeles
Every day feels like a holiday at the Fairmont Century Plaza and the place to be for iconic city-wide events. Imagine staying at the hotel and the L.A. Marathon finish line is mere steps away. Because of the recent running of the marathon, Fairmont Spa is celebrating this special community moment with month-long recovery massages and treatments like bio-hacking. Of course, you don’t have to run 26.2 miles to book a treatment in the Zen-inspired sanctuary. Every treatment, from skincare to body focus, is equally curated at the Forbes 5-star-rated spa.
Like a premier long-distance runner who finds an extra kick near the finish line, the mixologists at Lumière love upping their cocktail game with creative concoctions to mirror spring’s rebirth. Settling into the lush French Garden at Lumière to sip the latest unfurled cocktail captures spring like an impressionist painting.
Cuba-ism is also on full display starting in April when the Havana Nights pop-up bar with SelvaRey rum blossoms in the spring air. Featuring exuberant flora, vintage décor and the legendary color palette of turquoise, pink and canary of historical Havana, this lively pop-up bar will combine sensuous cocktails with contagious live music nights, mambo and rumba dancers, mixology nights and a tropical luxury found nowhere else in Los Angeles.
Like Easter and the 39th L.A. Marathon, Mother’s Day at the Fairmont CP has grown into a cherished annual tradition. Fairmont hotels have long been synonymous with Afternoon Tea in North America; Mother’s Day Tea Time adds a little sparkle to the tradition with specialty treats, delicious sandwiches, and a variety of exceptional teas in a sumptuous setting to celebrate mom, a mentor, or another significant maternal figure. Fairmont Century Plaza will put its own Southern California take on this beloved tradition with a dazzling and delightful Tea Time.
They say a mother’s work is never done. Fortunately, today’s flexible work schedules allow many of us to craft three-day weekends out of most work weeks. The Fairmont CP encourages this self-determination by offering a complimentary 3rd night for the rest of 2024. You may have to sprinkle a little work into your getaway, but the 3rd Night Free turns a weekend into a romantic, solo, or family getaway without lifting a finger.
Knock off those emails this Memorial Day weekend, and head to Fairmont Century Plaza where you can either lounge or play in our rooftop pool and enjoy live music and entertainment all holiday weekend. Leave the hotel and you’ll discover more than 100 stores and 60 restaurants across the street from the hotel. Whether you plan to take in a romantic Pacific Ocean sunset from the beaches of Santa Monica and Malibu or gather the kids for an American Girl shopping spree next door to the hotel, you’ll easily fill your itinerary with an extra night on the Fairmont. The iconic Starline Hop On Hop Off bus even stops at the hotel’s doors and can be ridden right down to the Santa Monica pier!
