Fairmont Pacific Rim’s monthly newsletter, Views from the Rim,
offers insider viewpoints from the design, construction and Fairmont
teams who are visiting the site on a regular basis. Each month, we’ll
provide news and insights, stories and musings, and stunning views
from the hotel’s interior, to keep you in the know about our progress.

Models of Luxury
Two stunning models have arrived at
Fairmont Pacific Rim: two guest room
mock-ups, that is, complete and ready for
viewing. Each room features fresh, silvery
champagne tones, which evoke the airiness of the natural landscape.
 |
|
Streamlined
furniture pieces and clean woods exemplify
an educated understanding of minimalism
and restraint, while the lavish fabrics and
custom millwork create a warm, opulent
setting. True to our promise of luxury, all
rooms will offer 42-inch (106-centimetre)
TVs, Bose surround sound, state-of-the-art
technology, Stearns & Foster beds, fine
Italian Mascioni bed and bath linens—and
expansive marble bathrooms, with LCD
TVs in the mirrors, soaker or jetted tubs,
and separate showers with luxurious rain
showerheads. |
|
Due to the exciting and overwhelming
demand for site inspections, our sales team
will be rolling out a tour schedule starting
late-August. We look forward to introducing
you to our models! |

Rooftop sanctuary
What better way to make use of Fairmont
Pacific Rim’s unprecedented views than to
create the city’s best rooftop pool? Thanks
to our collaboration with the esteemed
James KM Cheng Architects Inc. team, we
are pleased to unveil the design plans for
the ultimate in sophisticated relaxation. An
outdoor pool, cabanas and five firepits set
the stage for this urban oasis, while |
|
modern landscaping, world-class harbour
views and poolside dining complete the
experience.

Helen Pratt, Director of Sales and

|
 |
2009. Miki, who holds a

The long-awaited removal of the crane
from the Fairmont Pacific Rim
construction site occurred on June 15,
2009. With the exterior of the building
structurally complete, the envelope
finished, and the yet-to-be-unveiled public
art project ready, we are in excellent shape
for our opening in January of 2010.
What makes a stay in a luxury hotel
special is the opportunity to be surrounded
by extraordinary items not typically found
in our personal residences. With a price
tag of $190,000, the Fazioli piano that is
currently being created for the Fairmont
Pacific Rim lobby lounge is certainly
extraordinary. Touted as “the Ferrari of the
piano world,” these Italian-made grand
pianos are among the most carefully
crafted available, with only 100 produced
|
|
each year. Our custom-designed piano will
have a white lacquer exterior, with the
signature Fazioli 18-karat-gold hardware,
and a walnut interior. For added flair, the
interior of the lid is being engraved with
an intricate origami pattern. We are very
excited to see the end product—which is
sure to be the showpiece of our lobby
lounge.
We are also hard at work building an
incredible team of talent, which will
ensure that the famous Fairmont guest
service is perfectly executed. Our fashion
consultant with Cintas Uniforms has been
tasked with ensuring that we also have the
best-dressed group in the city, by creating
a collection of uniforms that are strongly
inspired by contemporary clothing design.
The colour palette is a mix of clear, |
|
sophisticated neutrals anchored by a rich,
stylish black; the fabrications are
luxurious and elegant; and the design
offers unexpected, subtle details such as
grosgrain ribbons and textured bengaline
trim—small hints to the Asian inspiration
featured throughout the property.
As announced in the May newsletter, our
Online Reservations platform is now open
for individual bookings. Our first online
reservation quickly followed the launch,
and was made by a Platinum member of
our Fairmont President’s Club. It will be a
rewarding day for our opening team when
we welcome this guest through our doors
in March. To book, please visit our
