A contemporary concept dovetailed with exemplary services, Fairmont Gold at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is truly a small deluxe hotel within a hotel – or rather like a boutique hotel with all the amenities of a much larger property. All 60 Fairmont Gold rooms and suites as well as the Gold Lounge were completely renovated and refurbished in 2014, and repositioned to the top floors of the main tower, delivering extraordinary views of the St Lawrence River and Old Quebec. Also unique to Fairmont Gold, the five floors are looked after by housekeeper France Tremblay, who has been working for the Château for more than 30 years. France is known for her impeccable service and welcoming Fairmont Gold visitors as if they were guests in her own home. Fairmont Hotel Macdonald, the only luxury hotel in Edmonton, will be introducing Fairmont Gold in May 2016. The project will encompass an entire renovation of the 7th floor with the introduction of the Fairmont Gold Lounge, as well as the complete renovation of all of the specialty 8th floor suites, including the historic Queen Elizabeth II suite (QEII). The Fairmont Southampton Gold offering remains a favorite for guests who have experienced this exceptional level of service. Located on the 6th and top floor of the hotel, the Fairmont Gold Lounge features an outdoor terrace with dramatic views of Hamilton Harbor. The exclusive Fairmont Gold concierges – many of whom are native Bermudians – provide guests with the most valuable tips for experiencing all that Bermuda has to offer, from the most dramatic pink sand beaches, the most challenging golf holes and the best historic forts, as well as making restaurant reservations or planning family excursions or couples escapes. The lounge features sophisticated island-style décor with comfortable soft seating areas, a cozy fireplace, indoor and outdoor dining and computer work stations. Fairmont Chateau Whistler’s Gold offers a truly elevated experience on the upper floors of this landmark hotel, featuring private check-in, 55 deluxe rooms and suites, and an exclusiv e club lounge where gas fireplaces and cozy couches invite guests to relax and connect with friends and family. A dedicated concierge team, including two with their Clefs D’Or designation, ensures every need is met during the guests’ stay. Daily deluxe continental breakfast with hot dishes, midday snacks including sandwiches and energy bars, and savory evening canapés are included in each stay to fuel Fairmont Gold guests for all manner of Whistler adventures. The honor bar showcases local craft beers and premium wines and spirits while a seasonal beverage station lets guests craft their own signature version of cocktails including the much-loved Canadian Caesar, Irish coffee and gourmet hot chocolate with all the fixings.
