6 THE WORLD OF HOSPITALITY
FAIRMONT ROYAL PAVILION
At Fairmont Royal Pavilion in Barbados,
Change is Good!
Hotel
Newly refurbished hotel set to welcome
children all year round and launch new room
categories and enhanced guest services.
As we brace ourselves for the colder months,
this year why not avoid the inevitable onset of
Seasonal Affective Disorder by spending the
Christmas holidays in Barbados with Fairmont
Royal Pavilion. This winter, as the newly
refurbished luxury hotel prepares to introduce
some key changes, such as welcoming children
all year-round and launching new room
category upgrades with enhanced guest
services, why not change the way you holiday
too? Swap your waterproof for your wet suit,
switch your mulled wine for a Mojito, and warm
yourself up on a sun lounger instead of by the
fire…because sometimes, everybody needs a
change!
Having recently completed a multi-million-
pound refurbishment in November 2017 to
the hotel’s lobby and 72 guest rooms and
suites, come this December, Fairmont Royal
Pavilion will be inviting families to spend time
together in paradise, as the property becomes
a child-friendly destination all year round.
Guests 12 years and under will qualify for a
complimentary stay when sharing with parents.
The hotel is also excited to offer new room
categories and enhanced guest experiences
such as a private butler service, fast track
airport queues, and a weekly complimentary
afternoon tea offering, as part of the recent
room upgrades and renovations.
From 18th December, the hotel’s Oceanfront
Deluxe Rooms will be divided into two
categories, creating the Luxury Oceanfront
Rooms on the second floor and the Signature
Oceanfront Rooms on the third floor. The
24 Beachfront Junior Suites will be changed
to Beachfront Suites; meanwhile the one-
bedroom Signature Sea View Room will
become Villa Junior Suite; the Villa 2 Bedroom
Suite will change to the Villa-Two Bedroom
Suite; and finally, the Three Bedroom Sea View
Villa will become the Three Bedroom Villa.
Each room, suite and villa has been decorated
with soothing neutral and taupe colours,
inspired by the hotel’s beachfront seascape,
and complemented with handcrafted
woodwork and subtle local artwork.
Many of the rooms now offer adjoining doors
if needed, creating more space and privacy
for those travelling with little ones. Each room
benefits from unobstructed sea views, a real
USP which makes this hotel an oasis of pure
tranquillity. High-speed Wi-Fi is available
throughout the resort so you are never a
moment away from that next Instagram
post! For the intrepid traveller, there is space
for parking should you choose to rent a car
during your holiday to explore the island
independently.
