Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is offering access to even more awe-inspiring activations across its global portfolio through its expanded ‘Special Happens…’ experiences program.
Fairmont has introduced eight ‘Special Happens…’ experiences across four categories: After Dark, In the Spotlight, Around the Table, and In the Wild.
“At Fairmont, heartfelt hospitality is at the core of everything we do, driven by a commitment to ‘Make Special Happen’ at every stage of the guest journey,” Fairmont Hotels & Resorts chief brand officer Claudia Kozma Kaplan said. “We are delighted to reveal our new ‘Special Happens…’ moments, which offer guests even greater opportunity to embrace the unexpected, uncover untold local stories, and forge lifelong memories through Fairmont’s distinctive celebratory lens.”
