Fairmont Hotels & Resorts in Vancouver are proudly participating in Vancouver Pride as a Bronze Sponsor, offering a variety of activities and offers through hotel accommodation packages and specialty food and beverage programming, benefitting the Vancouver Pride Society bursary, providing grants to local grassroots queer organizations.
Love Limitless Offer
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts in Vancouver have created the Love Limitless offer, available to add on to any new reservation now through August 3. Guests reserving a room at one of Fairmont’s Vancouver properties (Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, Fairmont Pacific Rim, Fairmont Vancouver Airport, and Fairmont Waterfront) can choose to add on a $20 donation to the Vancouver Pride Society bursary, and in exchange for supporting the organization, Fairmont will extend a $20.00 Food & Beverage Credit to be enjoyed during their stay. Members of ALL — Accor Live Limitless — Accor’s loyalty program, will also receive 500 bonus points as a show of appreciation for each donation made.
Love is Love Package
A special Love is Love Pride Package includes overnight accommodation with 10% off the best available rate, a $10 per night donation to the Vancouver Pride Society, and a specialty chef’s welcome amenity.
Dine, Drink & Donate
Special feature Pride cocktails are available for a month from July 1 to August 1 with $1 donated to the Vancouver Pride Society bursary, available at all Fairmont Hotels in Vancouver. Sip on hand-crafted cocktails like ARC’s Let’s Get Fizzical mimosas with a lineup of three creative flavour combinations, or sip on Notch8’s Angel Azzuro 2.0 with local Long Table Gin, East Van Vodka, Maraschino liqueur, Bitter Bianco, lemon, sparkling wine and topped with Blue Curaçao. Fairmont Vancouver Airport’s Jetside Lounge has designed the Not in Kansas Anymore ruby-hued libation that features a refreshing welcome to travellers coming from near and far to celebrate Vancouver Pride. At Fairmont Pacific Rim’s pop-up patio, limited edition kegs by Superflux Beer Company will be tapped every Saturday and Sunday, with the brewery matching donations for every pint sold.
Everyone Loves a Parade — and a Party
One hundred colleagues from the four Vancouver Fairmont Hotels and Hotel Belmont by MGallery will walk with pride, and parade float in tow, in the 44th Annual Vancouver Pride Parade, held on Sunday, July 31.
Kendall’s Pride Recovery Brunch
What better way to recover from Pride celebrations than a bottomless brunch and a drag show. The team at ARC restaurant, with Canada’s Drag Race runner-up and long-time Fairmont Pride Ambassador Kendall Gender, are featuring an extra special edition of its signature bottomless brunch. On Monday, August 1, Pride Brunch will feature all of ARC’s favourite brunch dishes plus a special stack of rainbow pancakes. The fierce level will be turned up to ten with fabulous not-to-be-missed live performances from Kendall and friends at 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Tickets for the Pride Brunch are available for $85 per person plus taxes, and are now available online, with $5 from each ticket donated to the Vancouver Pride Society. Reservations are recommended as this Pride Recovery Brunch is expected to sell out.
Official Fairmont Pride Ambassador, Kendall Gender
For the fourth year running, Fairmont Hotels in Vancouver welcome Kendall Gender back to the Fairmont Family as the hotels’ official 2022 Vancouver Pride Ambassador. In addition to Kendall recently receiving the coveted Empress of Vancouver tiara, Kendall has been an outspoken and respected activist for the LGBTQIA2S+ Vancouver community since 2014.
Since 2018, Kendall has acted as Fairmont Hotels’ Vancouver Pride Ambassador, leading Fairmont’s Pride Parade float in 2018 and 2019, as well as supporting Fairmont Hotels & Resorts’ efforts in colleague education and LGBTQIA2S+ inclusivity initiatives.
