About Fairmont
Fairmont runs landmark hotels including the Savoy in London and the Plaza in New York, and its Canadian railway hotels are national icons. Accor acquired it with FRHI in 2016 for about $2.9 billion. Its Canadian properties, including the Château Frontenac in Quebec, were built by railway companies to give passengers somewhere to stay at the end of the line.
