BRANDS: brand profile Fairmont
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts was founded in 1907 and prides itself on its distinctive portfolio and its reputation for excellence. Its range of 5-star hotels and complexes include "historic icons, elegant resorts and modern city center properties" and are located all over the world from Austin, Texas to Bahrain. Aimed at giving guests a uniquely Fairmont experience, the brand focuses on creating lasting memories for its visitors, generating customer loyalty and commitment.
With the current tally of Fairmont's hotels standing at 70 worldwide, the group has its sights set on bigger things in the coming years, with a proposed expansion this year and the following two years to include a further 30 projects to give a final keycount of 10,969 new rooms. This year will be pivotal to the group's plans, as 14 new properties are slated to open over the course of 2017. The developments seem to be going according to plan, with over half of the new projects currently under construction, while a quarter are in the pre-opening stages. The hotels and resorts will be spread over five key markets, with North America, Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia Pacific seeing 3, 3, 6, 8 and 10 openings respectively before 2020.
Africa and Asia Pacific continue to attract hoteliers as their tourism markets grow, and Fairmont is clearly picking up on this trend by choosing to locate the lion's share of their expansion in these regions. 3 projects will follow in 2018, leaving the group in a solid position to open another 11 developments in 2019, all boasting Fairmont's defining class and style.
