Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Offer Families Special Packages and Discounts This Summer
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is offering the best of their destinations with family getaways that feature local activities and luxurious accommodations all packaged up together. Whether a perfect vacation with the gang involves a bug hunt, outdoor sports or just some time together by the pool, Fairmont has a family travel package to fit the group's agenda. And if the family doesn't want to book a package and would rather explore on their own, Fairmont and MasterCard® are making accommodations more affordable by offering 50% off a second room so kids can have their own place to stay.
