Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has introduced a new set of guest experiences across its global portfolio under its Special Happens… programme, spanning nature, culture, dining and after-dark activities.
The collection includes six new experiences grouped into four categories: After Dark, In the Wild, Around the Table and In the Spotlight. The programme focuses on activities linked to local culture and environments at selected destinations.
New offerings include a helicopter tour of the Great Wall of China from Fairmont Beijing, a guided foraging and helicopter experience at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Canada, and a wildlife-focused experience at Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club.
After-dark activities include a night tour of Wuhan’s Yellow Crane Tower with traditional Hanfu attire, a stargazing experience at Fairmont St Andrews in Scotland, and an event timed with a solar eclipse at Fairmont Tazi Palace Tangier on August 12.
Other experiences focus on cultural and culinary activities. These include access to the former residence of Montreux Jazz Festival founder Claude Nobs at Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, a village-based cultural programme in Rajasthan at Fairmont Jaipur, and a hot air balloon and heritage tour in Marrakech at Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech.
Dining-related experiences include a Korean-themed proposal setting at Fairmont Ambassador Seoul, a traditional Hawaiian feast at Fairmont Kea Lani, and a cacao-based programme at Fairmont Orchid.
Some existing experiences remain part of the programme, including spa sessions at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa and wellness treatments at Fairmont Mumbai.
“Delivering remarkable experiences is fundamental to Fairmont Hotels & Resorts’ DNA. With these brand new Special Happens… experiences, we’re not just continuing this legacy, we’re actively bringing the essence of Fairmont to life for everyone. This next chapter is about expanding unforgettable journeys, crafting authentic moments within each community, and designing them with meticulous care so our guests can connect more deeply, celebrate more often, and truly make special happen,” said Claudia Kozma Kaplan, chief brand officer, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts.
