Iīd think the answer is identical whether you book via Virtuoso, AMEX FHR or HSBC: Per the FPC T&C the free night cert only covers accommodation and hence you wouldnīt get free beakfast. However, especially on a stay thatīs longer than one night, itīs not unheard of that the hotel will not charge for breakfast on the free night, but one certainly isnīt entitled to it.

Length of stay and the total package paid could convince a hotel to grant the exception.
Standalone one night, last second before checkout pay for the room with a complimentary night cert. Chances are negligible the hotel will eat the breakfast. Certainly not entitled to it per T&C as mentioned here.

Here's the link to the HSBC promo. The code noted within works on the Fairmont website for bookings.
