Fairmont Hotels & Resorts will soon open new hotels across the globe, from Thailand to New Orleans to Saudi Arabia to the United Kingdom. These six are set to be some of the brand’s most anticipated properties debuting this year:
Fairmont New Orleans, United States
Fairmont New Orleans will open in the city’s Central Business District near the historic French Quarter this June. The hotel will occupy the former Bank of New Orleans building and offer 250 guestrooms and suites, a restaurant, lobby lounge, rooftop bar, swimming pool with city views, and 10,000-square-foot spa.
Fairmont Cheshire, The Mere, United Kingdom
Following a comprehensive restoration, redesign and expansion, Fairmont Cheshire, The Mere will open just outside of Knutsford, Cheshire, later this year. The hotel, overlooking The Mere Lake, will span 116 bedrooms, including 27 suites, as well as an 18-hole championship golf course and some of the finest wellness and culinary offerings in the county. The estate alone dates back to the 11th century.
Slated to open early this year, Fairmont Hanoi blends Indochinese motifs with French colonial influences across its 241 luxurious rooms, six dining and bar venues (including a rooftop restaurant), spa, fitness center, bathhouse, and two swimming pools. To celebrate its opening, the hotel offers hotel credit and a curated amenity for guests booking by April 30 for stays through April 30.
Fairmont The Red Sea, Saudi Arabia
This Saudi Arabian property, scheduled to open this May, will feature 193 rooms, six distinct dining concepts (including an overwater restaurant with Red Sea views) and a spa. The resort will sit next to an 18-hole championship golf course, as well as set new standards in sustainable development.
Fairmont Bangkok Sukhumvit, Thailand
The first Fairmont hotel in Thailand opens to guests this June, bringing a new level of luxury to the city’s Central Business District. The 419-room hotel will open as the first fully integrated luxury MICE hotel in the country, boasting extensive meeting facilities equipped with the latest technology. A variety of specialty restaurants and bars offering international and Asian cuisine, rooftop bar with skyscraper views, swimming pool, fitness center, spa, and wellness center will also grace the hotel.
Fairmont Dalian, China
Later this year, Fairmont Dalian has been carefully restored to preserve the elegant, four-story heritage building. When reopened, the hotel will boast 70 guestrooms, a ballroom for weddings and private events, numerous meeting rooms, a swimming pool, fitness center, and signature restaurants.
