Your Safety in Mind
Please know that our top priority remains the safety, care and wellbeing of our Fairmont Waterfront family. Welcoming, safeguarding and taking care of others is at the very heart of what we do and who we are. Fairmont Hotels are advising all travelers to follow the government stipulated guidelines and avoid traveling for non-essential reasons when possible.
At this moment, this means keeping our guests and colleagues safe by preventing the spread of COVID-19 – partnering with top experts to implement new standards of safety and enhanced operational protocols and procedures which are among the most stringent in the hospitality industry.

All colleagues will participate in mandatory health screenings which include temperature checks upon entrance to the hotel. It’s important to us that both our guests and our colleagues are safe and well.
