KICK OFF BERMUDA’S 400TH ANNIVERSARY

A SPECIAL OFFER FROM FAIRMONT HOTELS AND RESORTS

BERMUDA, December 1, 2008 - The temperate climate, pink sand, turquoise ocean views and spectacular sunsets make Bermuda an ideal escape anytime of year.  In 2009 the island will celebrate its 400^th anniversary, and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts in Bermuda invites guests to begin to celebrate with the Compliments of Bermuda: 400^th Anniversary Offer.

From playing in the surf on a Jet Ski to an invigorating game of tennis to an afternoon at the Willow Stream Spa, The Fairmont Southampton is an idyllic beach resort experience. Juxtaposed between old world charm and modern paradise, The Fairmont Hamilton Princess is the quintessential Bermuda experience. Splash around in the hotel’s fresh or saltwater pools or enjoy tea at the Heritage Court and explore Bermudas capital city, the hotel is a wonderful escape.   The Fairmont Southampton and The Fairmont Hamilton Princess offer its guests reciprocal signing privileges at both hotels.  Complimentary ferry service is offered between the two properties, which makes it east to stay at one and play at two.

With this package, stay more and save more.  Receive a $200 Resort Credit for a two-night stay, a $300 Resort Credit for a three-night stay, or a $400 Resort Credit for a four-night or more stay.  Use the Resort Credit at any of the hotels’ restaurants, Willow Stream Spa, Jet Ski excursions, golf or other activities. In addition, guests will also receive a Bermuda 400^th Anniversary Passport, good for an incredible $1,000 in savings throughout the island.  Through March 31, 2009, rates start at $229 at The Fairmont Southampton and $259 at The Fairmont Hamilton Princess.  Tax, gratuities and resort levy are not included.

 There is a two-night stay minimum and guests must be over 18.  Guests may upgrade their package to Fairmont Gold, an exclusive lifestyle experience featuring a comfortable lounge, private registration and complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea and hors d’ oeuvres, for an additional charge of  $120 per night.  For reservations or more information, please call (800) 441-1414 or visit www.fairmont.com.
