Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has introduced six new experiences under its “Special Happens…” series, expanding its global portfolio with curated offerings that focus on culture, nature, and memorable guest moments. The launch reflects the brand’s continued effort to create unique and meaningful experiences across its properties worldwide.

The newly unveiled experiences are designed across four themes – “After Dark”, “In the Wild”, “Around the Table”, and “In the Spotlight”. Each offering is rooted in local culture while reflecting Fairmont’s signature approach to service and storytelling.

Among the highlights is a private helicopter tour of the Great Wall of China at Fairmont Beijing, offering guests a unique aerial view of one of the world’s most iconic landmarks. The experience also includes a luxury stay, curated dining, and a personalised mixology session.

In Canada, Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge introduces an Indigenous-led foraging journey, where guests explore the natural landscape with a local expert, followed by a curated culinary experience inspired by the ingredients gathered during the trip. In Kenya, Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club offers the Acacia Horizon Experience, combining guided wildlife exploration with a private dining setup in a scenic outdoor setting.

Under the “After Dark” category, guests can take part in a night tour of the Yellow Crane Tower at Fairmont Wuhan, dressed in traditional Hanfu attire, blending cultural heritage with a modern light and sound experience. Another standout offering is the solar eclipse evening at Fairmont Tazi Palace Tangier on August 12th, where guests can witness the celestial event alongside curated dining and live entertainment.

In Scotland, Fairmont St Andrews introduces a stargazing experience along the East coast, featuring a private observation dome, guided exploration of the night sky, and a chef-led dining experience under the stars, paired with rare Scottish whisky.

Commenting on the launch, Claudia Kozma Kaplan, Chief Brand Officer, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts said, "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."

With this launch, Fairmont continues to focus on experiential travel, offering guests opportunities to connect with destinations through curated, one-of-a-kind experiences across its global network.
