New Online Store Brings Fairmont Back Home

11-09-2007

TORONTO – Nov. 8, 2007 Bring a piece of vacation back home this holiday season with the new Fairmont Hotels & Resorts online shopping site, The Fairmont Store, located at www.fairmontstore.com. Similar to stores located at each hotel property, the online version is filled with the hotel’s signature goodies from aromatic Miller Harris perfumes and Willow Stream Spa products to a royal tea set fit for a Queen and custom blended teas. FairmontStore.com combines luxury resort life with the daily routine by the simple click of a mouse.

Two ready-to-wear product lines created by Lyn Harris, the acclaimed professional nose behind this in-the-know Miller Harris brand, forever link the distinct scents with fond Fairmont memories. With the introduction of the online Fairmont Store, those who have come to love the in-room amenity body lotions, shampoos and soaps can now also enjoy Miller Harris perfumes and aromatic candles in the comfort of everyday life. With limited availability in select outlets including Saks Fifth Avenue, FairmontStore.com features products scented in Citron Citron, which combines a trio of citrus scents, and Fleur de Matin, which highlights a floral bouquet of soothing honeysuckle and jasmine.

True to the Fairmont tradition of sipping afternoon tea, the hotel brand and The Metropolitan Tea Company have created their own exclusive line of savory teas as another way to offer guests a little something to warm up to during the holiday season. Offered in both loose and bag form, mixing a variety of flavors and origins including Kenya, Canada and Zimbabwe, there is a tea to please every palette with traditional brews such as Earl Grey and Breakfast Blend or unique concoctions like Jasmine Rose and Maple Maple. Fairmont also created the special edition brew, Centennial 1907, which incorporates ingredients available when the Fairmont brand was born 100 years ago. Mixed by expert connoisseurs, the celebratory blend combines a globally inspired mix from China, Sri Lanka and India for a full-bodied, bright tea that also holds a world of history behind it.

As the perfect pair to the savory teas, Fairmont Store customers can truly drink like Queen Elizabeth II with the authentic Royal Doulton tea set, a handmade replica of the actual set used to serve the Queen in 1939-1950 during her visits to Fairmont properties. Made from fine bone china, known for its strength and durability, the majestic set is ornately decorated with intricate patterns and authentically stamped by the symbol of the royal crown.

Willow Stream Spas at Fairmont offer an unforgettable spa experience, guiding guests towards finding their personal energy.  Located in some of the most coveted and diverse locations in the world, these products can now be enjoyed at home so that everyday feels like a day at the spa. Inspired by the four basic elements, air, earth, wood, fire and water, The Fairmont Store carries soothing body scrubs from both the Balance and Energy lines including aromatherapy body lotions, bath crystals, candles and Energy shampoos, conditioners and body butters.

Additional items in the luxurious Fairmont Store inventory include Signature and Gold bed linens, down duvet inserts and pillows, cotton robes as well as vintage tote and cosmetic bags.

For easy holiday shopping this season and a touch of vacation right at home, visit The Fairmont Store at www.fairmontstore.com or call (800) 866-9566.
