NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, world-renowned hospitality brand and one of Accor’s leading luxury brands are setting a new standard for sound across Fairmont’s 96 hotels and resorts globally through a newly curated partnership with Devialet. The global leader in luxury sound technology will further elevate Fairmont’s signature guest experience, with cutting-edge audio innovation. Serving as the sound solution provider across Fairmont’s iconic global destinations, Devialet will further develop a series of guest touchpoints at partner properties including enhancing the Fairmont Gold, in-room and in-lobby experiences; providing a hand-picked range of audio products available for purchase at the Fairmont Store; as well as Making Special Happen in audio through special Fairmont pop-ups and events throughout the year.

This new partnership underscores Fairmont’s longstanding connection to music and culture – a relationship that has transformed its hotels into legendary stages for some of the world’s greatest performers, including David Bowie, Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Igor Stravinsky, Tony Bennett, and Louis Armstrong. This new collaboration with Devialet builds on this rich legacy, bringing state-of-the-art sound experiences that allow guests to feel, not just hear, the music that defines Fairmont’s history.

As a brand that has been celebrating since 1907, music has always been integral to the Fairmont guest experience and partnering with Devialet allows us to further honor this heritage, while delivering the next generation of immersive sound experiences for guests. Fairmont hotels are social epicenters that blend genuine encounters with the heart of the action, creating vibrant spaces where communities gather which is why our partnership with Devialet is a natural transition. Omer Acar, Chief Executive Officer, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts

Our partnership with Fairmont is a natural dialog between two brands that have made the guest experience their signature. We share a quest to transform moments into lasting memories. By weaving Devialet’s sound signature into the heart of Fairmont’s spaces, we are making acoustic excellence a new cornerstone of hospitality, where each stay becomes an immersive and vibrant experience. Jacques Demont, CEO of Devialet
