This sounds to me like a good reason to rebrand at least the more modern Fairmonts. I've only experienced a couple of N American Fairmonts and formed an impression of them as rather staid, to put it politely -- definitely not a brand I would seek out if there were a Pullman, Swissôtel or Sofitel nearby.
