Fairmont Hotels & Resorts

Fairmont's story began in 1886 when Canadian Pacific Railway magnate William Cornelius Van Horne founded Mount Stephen House, followed by landmark properties such as Banff Springs (1888) and Château Lake Louise (1890). In 1907, sisters Tessie and Virginia Fair opened the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, giving the brand its name.

A flagship of Accor's luxury portfolio

Today Fairmont Hotels & Resorts operates more than ninety extraordinary hotels and resorts worldwide, spanning landmark addresses such as The Savoy in London, Fairmont San Francisco and Fairmont Banff Springs. Each property is known for grand architecture, heritage and a role as a social epicentre within its community.
