Fairmont Gold

Fairmont Gold comes included with our Premium Hotel Category: a private floor at select Fairmont properties, complete with its own check-in, lounge, and concierge set apart from the rest of the hotel. It's most worth savouring on multi-night stops, where a quiet retreat and a concierge who already knows your plans turn a longer stay into something closer to being looked after than simply hosted.

Private Gold Floor Check-In

Guests staying on the Fairmont Gold floor check in at a private reception desk, separate from the main lobby, so there's no lining up with the rest of the hotel after a full day on the train. A staff member handles your arrival directly, walks you through anything specific to your stay, and gets you up to your room without the usual wait at a shared front desk. It's a small difference on paper, but a welcome one if your rail vacation has you arriving tired, luggage in hand, ready to be settled rather than standing in a queue.

Dedicated Concierge

A dedicated concierge team is assigned specifically to the Gold floor, separate from the hotel’s main concierge desk. They handle requests that come up during your stay, from restaurant reservations to questions about your onward train connection.

Fairmont Gold Lounge

The Fairmont Gold Lounge is reserved for guests staying on that floor, a quieter space to eat or unwind away from the main hotel's public areas. It's open throughout the day, from breakfast in the morning through to the evening, so it works whether you're catching up on messages before an early train or winding down after a full day of sightseeing. Unlike the main hotel restaurant, there's no need to book ahead or wait for a table, you can come and go as your schedule allows during your stay.

Honour Bar & Canapés

Canapés come out in the lounge each evening, and an honour bar stocked with spirits and mixers stays available around the clock. It’s there whenever you want it, whether that’s right after a train day or later in the evening.

Canadian Fairmont Properties

From property to property, the appeal of Fairmont Gold stays consistent: a floor set apart from the rest of the hotel, where check-in, the lounge, and a concierge who already knows your plans replace the usual routine of being just another guest at the front desk. It's less about any single stop and more about that same feeling carrying through, whether you're settling in after a day in the mountains or stepping off the train into a city hotel.
