Fantastic hotel and gorgeous room - really it is a suite with a beautiful living room, washroom and separate bedroom! Excellent service and even though there is construction nearby the valet took care of our car and it was an easy registration!

The property its self was nice and we would definitely stay again. The construction around the property is annoying, as well as the parking. You either have to pay 35 a night for valet or pay per hour in a parking lot around.

Loved this hotel and absolutely recommend it. There is a ton of construction outside that detracts from its location, but that is the only drawback. It is convenient to the conference center and everything about it is top notch, from the toiletries, a deep bath, tons of hot water, gorgeous bedding, comfortable bed and speedy WIFI. The staff were very kind and helpful and gave me a very late checkout as I had an early evening flight. The restaurant was excellent too, I had lunch on the last afternoon and wish I had known it was so good as I probably would have had at least one dinner there as well.

The Fairmount is an interesting place. The old building has been nicely renovated, the rooms are comfortable and the staff is attentive. The layout is odd, with no real reception or lobby area to speak of. The location is great, close to the River Walk, but construction was going on in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, making access complicated. They had valet set up which was helpful. The rooftop bar and on site restaurant are great amenities.

Highly Recommend!

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here, and it couldn't have been better. Valet parking, a historic hotel with modernized feel, and two bars. One is on the roof top, and one is in the lobby. The bar tendrs/es were perfect as well. They treated us like family! The inlybthing we dodnt get to try were either of the restaurants in the hotel. Next tjme we will try them vecause the menu looked great!

If you haven't you should

Certainly! Here is an I recently had the privilege of staying at Hotel Fairmount and words truly cannot describe the experience. The service was simply unbelievable - every staff member went above and beyond to ensure comfort and satisfaction. The room I stayed in was absolutely unforgettable, with breathtaking views and luxurious amenities that made me feel like royalty. This hotel has truly set a new standard for excellence in hospitality. A stay here is an experience that transcends words - it must be felt to be believed."

Well my husband and I stayed here for Valentines Day. It was over $500 for a single bed room. When we walked in, it immediately felt like a college dorm room. Over priced for what was included, which wasn't much. A shared balcony with door access from our room, a high priced coffee maker, which we didn't use, a mini glass fridge with some drinks, we also didn't use as we brought our own wine. And a card explaining we need to contact front desk for ice, this after my husband went out our room in Search of an ice maker. The bathroom included A gold plated shower which had erratic water temperature and difficult to adjust, when we found warm or cool it immediately went right back to scolding hot. We spent a few hours at the bar, i ordered a cosmo at the bar downstairs which was HORRIBLE, it was watered down and tasted horrible and weak. We did appreciate the fact the young bartender took it off our bill and I replaced it with a decent glass of reasling wine, my husband enjoyed a bourbon and sprite Upside was the hotel and room was quiet although in the middle of down town construction zone. When it came to ordering dinner in our room, it was quick and staff was accommodating to offering extra chairs for our room so my husband and I could both sit at the desk in our room to enjoy our Valentines dinner. Now. The dinner wasn't as good as would be expected from such a high priced hotel. We will not be returning. (Review too long to finish)
