FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS – FF&E DESIGN STANDARDS

Fairmont Philosophy and Brand Dimensions


The Fairmont mission is “Turning moments into memories” for our guests and in
doing so, earn a place in their hearts. The Fairmont brand is about creating an
emotional connection between the hotel and our guests. This connection is first
experienced by the design of the hotel. In order to activate our mission statement,
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts have developed three Brand Dimensions in
collaboration with our colleagues and guests. They are as follows:
• Authentically Local
• Unrivaled Presence
• Engaging Service
“Authentically Local”, as a brand dimension, is interpreted as a project that is
integrated into the culture and specific location through creativity, character,
indigenous art, materials, and detailing. Fairmont's guests should experience an
authentic reflection of each destination's energy, culture and history.
“Unrivaled Presence” is characterized by distinction and excellence; a defined
luxury that takes into consideration the character of the property and its location
whether urban or resort, historic or contemporary. Designed as a distinctive
property, an extraordinary place, the Fairmont’s physical presence and character
shall be the first choice of world travelers. Fairmont locations don't just exude
history; many are nothing less than regional landmarks. Yet, Fairmont's physical
presence and character should continue to inspire and excite our guests.
“Engaging Service” is based on the premise that Fairmont Hotels and Resorts
deliver on its promises and the expectations of our guests. This may be
interpreted into the story or design concept for the project; how the design
aesthetic and ambience are portrayed in planning, execution, color, and materials
used throughout the project. To fulfill this requirement, the design should provide
optimum service conditions and be warm and engaging to all – guests and
colleagues.
FF&E Design Standards Objectives
The Fairmont FF&E Design Standards are at the core of who we are and what the
guest takes away from a Fairmont experience. Adherence to these FF&E
standards is vital to ensure our guests experience the same caliber interior and
service from one property to the next.
The intent of these standards is not to dictate any specific design direction but to
act as guidelines for owners and consultants to apply the minimum requirements
based on the Fairmont brand dimensions outlined above. Although Fairmont
Hotels & Resorts allows for flexibility within these parameters, we require that all
standards be fully implemented. Design consultants are ultimately responsible for
all documentation, specifications, calculations, performance and quality control
during the manufacturing and installation process.

FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS – FF&E DESIGN STANDARDS

With each unique destination the interior should reflect the building site,
architecture, landscaping, and the local community in which it resides. The
guestroom should capture all the essentials and modern conveniences required
within a place of work, relaxation, sleep, and entertainment. Comfort and
craftsmanship are paramount; all furniture, fixtures, and equipment must be
designed with that in mind.
A Fairmont Hotel or Resort interior design must be thoughtful and original. The
aim of all furnishings is to convey a residential quality with a sense of
timelessness and elegance. The design should effectively communicate the brand
through the use of innovative materials, applications, and color combinations.
The Fairmont FF&E Design Standards are to be read in conjunction with the
project specific Design Brief. Should there be any discrepancies between the two
documents; the Design Brief will take precedence.
For further information, refer to the following supplements that will be issued
during the design process:

Solutions for Sustainable Design / Fairmont Green Partnership
Fairmont Raffles Hotels International is committed to environmental protection
and sustainability guided by Fairmont’s Green Partnership Program. Fairmont
Hotels & Resorts is an international company and has long been recognized as
environmental leader within the hotel industry. We now aim to expand this
stewardship commitment into the areas of sustainable design and construction.
This will encompass optimizing energy efficiencies, promoting integrated
building practices, considering environmental impacts of the products used,
reducing resource consumption, and selecting environmentally preferable
products where practical. By incorporating environmental considerations in our
design and construction process, we strive to improve the quality of the hotel
environment for both colleagues and guests.
Our FHR team considers the Fairmont Green Partnership program not only in
existing hotels but in new development projects. These considerations shall be
implemented from the concept design of the project throughout the installation
and opening of the actual project. The environmental laws and the construction
legislation in each country form the basis for general construction and installation,
while Fairmont’s Green Partnership program provides guiding principles and
sustainability standards for our operations.
In support of environmental and sustainable design practices, we have enhanced
our FF&E Design Standards to address environmental and sustainable design
practices through the use of the recognized US Green Building Council LEED

SPAS AND HEALTH CLUBS
Fairmont Hotels and Resorts offer three categories for spa and fitness at a
property: Willow Stream Spas, Spas and Health Clubs and Fitness
Centers. Refer to the project Design Brief for spa type and specifics.
WILLOW STREAM SPAS (RESORT AND URBAN)
The Willow Stream Spa is Fairmont’s signature spa experience. Willow
Stream Spas may have a wide variety of sizes and facilities depending on
the market and location and they are always considered adult only
facilities. The brand is based the basic principle of bringing the outside in
using earth, air, fire, water and wood elements. Its philosophy is providing
authentic experience in nurturing multi-sensory environments. A key
differentiating and mandatory feature is to create places for spending time
outside of the treatment rooms – places for relaxing as well as for
connection either with friends or a mate. These are the Energy Lounges.
Based on a typical size for a Fairmont resort, a Willow Stream Spa may be
approximately 20,000 net ft2 (1,858 m2) of interior space, not including
circulation, outdoor pool areas, outdoor patios and gardens and
approximately twenty treatment rooms. The size of the spa shall depend
on the number of hotel keys, local business as well as on design, layout,
and how the Fitness and full-service Salon are incorporated into the
program.
For a Fairmont urban property, the Willow Stream Spa is generally
smaller with approximately ten treatment rooms.
Where a Willow Stream Spa has a significant outside membership, the
facility may be larger as it may be necessary to provide dedicated change
rooms for members separate from hotel guests when using the fitness
facilities.

HEALTH CLUB OR SPA OR HEALTH CLUB AND SPA


In properties where a Willow Stream Spa is not proposed, there may be a
Health Club and a separate Spa, each having a variety of facilities, or there
may be a Health Club and Spa with shared facilities.
If there are less than five treatment rooms, it shall be called a Health Club.
If there are more than five, it shall be referred to as a Health Club and Spa.
Where a Health Club and a Spa cannot be co-located, they will be referred
to separately as a Health Club or Spa and each will have to have the
minimum locker and amenity facilities as outlined in this section.
The purpose of such Health Clubs is to provide guests with a variety of
cardio, strength and stretch equipment in a comfortable, professional
environment and private club atmosphere.
