Everyone knows that Fairmont Hotels and Resorts are a legendary hotel group on the Canadian tourism scene and, since we opened our doors 22 years ago, it’s been quite the love fest between our companies. Simply put, we love hosting guests together.
On this program we’re celebrating and honouring this top hotel group with a trifecta of luxurious accommodation, and a pairing of exclusive local experiences. Tee up in Whistler, where you have your choice of award-winning golf courses, chill in the spa or pick an outdoor adventure… There are tons of options to enjoy. In historic and quaint Victoria, you’ll be charmed by the horse-drawn buggies, bright blooms, and the iconic Fairmont Empress sitting opposite the harbour. A short and scenic floatplane ride away is Vancouver, your final stop on this memorable holiday. Cruise for culture and take in urban pursuits in Vancouver, exploring 1,000 acre Stanley Park and the North Shore. Each leg of your journey is highlighted with elegant Fairmont Gold accommodation, jaw-dropping west coast scenery, and sincere Canadian hospitality.
