Who owns Fairmont hotels?

FRHI is the parent company that manages three brands of hotels: Fairmont, Raffles and Swissôtel. These hotel chains collectively include more than 100 hotels and resorts in over 30 countries worldwide. Since 2016, the company has been owned by AccorHotels, a French multinational hotel firm.



As of 2026, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is owned by Accor, the French multinational hospitality giant. Accor acquired the brand in 2016 as part of its $2.7 billion purchase of FRHI Holdings (Fairmont, Raffles, and Swissôtel). While Fairmont was originally a Canadian-founded brand with iconic "railway hotels" like the Château Frontenac, it is now a cornerstone of Accor's "Luxury & Lifestyle" division. This ownership means that Fairmont is part of the ALL (Accor Live Limitless) loyalty program, allowing guests to earn and redeem points across thousands of properties globally. Despite the French ownership, Fairmont maintains its distinct North American heritage and operational headquarters for many regions remain in Canada. In 2026, Accor continues to expand the Fairmont brand into new global markets, including luxury properties in the Middle East and Asia, while preserving the historic "Grand Dame" status of its original North American landmarks.
