Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is a globally recognized luxury hotel brand founded in 1907 with the opening of its flagship property in San Francisco. Over more than a century, the brand has built a reputation for iconic, landmark hotels that are deeply connected to their destinations, often serving as cultural and social hubs within major cities or scenic natural settings. Today, Fairmont operates a portfolio of around 80–90 properties worldwide and is part of the larger hospitality group Accor, which expanded its global reach after acquiring the brand in 2015.
A defining characteristic of Fairmont is its blend of historic legacy and modern luxury. Many of its properties have hosted significant world events, political gatherings, and cultural moments—such as the signing of the United Nations Charter in San Francisco—while also maintaining a strong emphasis on elegant design, personalized service, and locally inspired experiences. The brand is known for signature offerings like upscale dining, wellness facilities, and the “Fairmont Gold” experience, which provides a more exclusive, hotel-within-a-hotel level of service.
In addition to luxury and heritage, Fairmont emphasizes sustainability and community integration. The brand has long promoted environmental initiatives and aims to reflect the culture and character of each location through its architecture, cuisine, and guest experiences. Positioned at the intersection of tradition and innovation, Fairmont continues to evolve as a leading name in luxury hospitality, appealing to travelers seeking both historic prestige and contemporary comfort.
