In Canada, active renovations include:
- Fairmont Pacific Rim (Vancouver): Bringing together the newly renovated Fairmont Spa, a fitness centre in partnership with HOUSE Concepts, Wish Dry Bar and MedLiv Medical Clinic, the club offers a fully integrated luxury wellness experience designed for movement, recovery, nourishment, mind and longevity. The newly elevated Forbes Five-Star spa experience has the addition of a Himalayan Salt Sauna, an intimate couples’ lounge and stone flooring throughout the space.

Extending more than 1,200 sq. ft., the suite will feature a grand open-concept living space anchored by a fireplace, an elegant dining area, a master bedroom and a spa-inspired bathroom with double vanity, freestanding tub and oversized walk-in shower. The suite debuts alongside the completion of the resort’s wider guestroom renovation.

Renovations will continue this fall, with future phases including additional guestrooms, the lobby, ARC Restaurant + Bar, pool patio and Fairmont Gold.
