I don't necessarily disagree, though I'd change the description to "most historic city-center Fairmont properties in Canada". Many of the resort properties have updated the interiors and infrastructure while some of the city center Fairmont hotels such as the Fairmont Calgary and Fairmont Toronto are among the least impressive Fairmont hotels (and far from true luxury hotels).
