The Fairmont Monte Carlo is not on there. Prince Al Walid bin Talal owns the building, probably under a different company name.
Probably owned under Kingdom Holdings.
Many Fairmonts, if not most, are owned by companies other than Fairmont. Michael Dell owns the Fairmont Miramar. Maritz Wolff owns the San Francisco and San Jose properties. DiNapoli Capital owns the Dallas Fairmont.
Fairmont Hotels and Resorts is owned by Fairmont Raffles Hotels International.
Here's a quote from Wikipedia:
"Fairmont Raffles Hotels International is a Toronto, Canada-based hotel chain owned by Kingdom Hotels and Los Angeles based Colony Capital, LLC. The group was formed in January 2006, when Kingdom and Colony acquired Fairmont Hotels and Resorts and combined Fairmont's business with Raffles. The parent company now manages three brands of hotels under their arm, Raffles, Fairmont and Swissôtel with 88 hotels and resorts in 27 countries worldwide. The company also owned Delta Hotels at one point but sold the Canadian based hotel management company in October 2007 to bcIMC (B.C. Investment Management Corporation), a Crown Corporation."
