Ukraine, where river, steppe and capital converge

Ukraine stretches from the Carpathian Mountains to the shores of the Black Sea, defined by fertile plains, river cities, and layered cultural heritage. Across centuries, the country has been shaped by trade routes, religious influence, and architectural tradition. Kyiv, its capital, rises along the Dnipro River with golden-domed cathedrals and historic districts overlooking the water.

Fairmont in Ukraine

Ukraine’s geography spans mountain ranges, river valleys, and coastal plains. Kyiv’s historic skyline reflects Byzantine and Eastern European architectural traditions, while western regions reveal alpine scenery and eastern areas open toward expansive steppe. The country’s identity remains deeply connected to its land and cultural legacy.

THE PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY

There are road trips, and then there is Highway 1. Connecting your stays at various hotels in California creates the ultimate journey, moving from the moody fog of the north to the golden light of the south. Think of each Fairmont property as a luxurious waypoint on a drive through cliffside vistas and beach towns.

WELLNESS IN NATURE

California practically invented modern wellness. Whether it’s yoga in a garden, soaking in Sonoma’s mineral baths, or hiking a canyon in San Diego, our luxury hotels are designed to help you reset, taking full advantage of the fresh air and natural beauty surrounding you.

CHASING SUNSETS

The light in California is different. Whether it’s the "golden hour" reflecting off a skyscraper or the sun dropping below the ocean horizon, our California hotels offer the prime seats. Rooftop bars, oceanfront terraces, and hillside gardens are all designed for that end-of-day toast.

Planning your stay at Fairmont hotels in California

Discover what makes Fairmont special in Californian cities

  • Sonoma

    Rolling hills stretch between mountain ridges, vineyards following the curve of the valley floor. Morning fog drifts inland from the Pacific before lifting to reveal rows of vines under warm California light.

  • Long Beach

    Long Beach curves along a protected harbor where calmer waters contrast with the open Pacific beyond the breakwater. Downtown towers rise along Ocean Boulevard, facing marinas and anchored vessels in the distance. The city balances maritime industry with restored Art Deco architecture, giving its waterfront a distinct rhythm that feels both historic and active.

  • Santa Monica

    Ocean light shifts across the Pacific before rising toward the coastal bluff. Palm-lined avenues descend toward wide sand and a historic pier extending into open water. The shoreline defines the tempo more than downtown blocks

  • San Diego

    San Diego unfolds across mesas and canyon corridors before meeting the Pacific. Inland elevations shift toward protected valleys while the coastline remains open and sunlit for much of the year. The atmosphere feels expansive rather than vertical, defined by distance, reserve land, and steady ocean light that softens the urban grid.

  • Los Angeles

    The city stretches across a broad basin framed by mountains and open ocean. Freeways trace lines between glass towers, hillside neighborhoods, and coastal districts. As one of the defining luxury hotels in Los Angeles, Fairmont anchors your stay in Century City, positioned between Beverly Hills and the Pacific.

  • San Francisco

    Steel bridges cut through fog, cable cars climb steep streets, and the Pacific presses against a narrow peninsula. The city rises and falls across more than forty hills, opening toward the Bay on one side and the ocean on the other.
