Not new but a "in group" conversion: Sofitel Copacabana to become a Fairmont
AccorHotels announced the conversion of Sofitel Copacabana into the first hotel with the Fairmont flag in South America. The renovation begins this month and is expected to finish in 14 months."It is an honor to inaugurate the region's first Fairmont in Brazil. Located in one of Rio de Janeiro's prime spots, the hotel will certainly bring even more visibility to the city, attracting tourists from all over the world," said Patrick Mendes, CEO of AccorHotels South America...

Lol I can see it happening that even when its re branded and opened we will still not be able to use Fairmont hotels for benefits and points.
I hope Accor is not that bad that we actually start losing luxury hotels to the Fairmont loyalty program which should winding down.

I did remember reading a review, maybe yours staying at this hotel a year or 2 ago. From memory the rooms were a little dated so it was time for a renovation.
My wife and myself said just today we better avoid being frugal with hotel spending if we want to qualify for plat next year as we probably wont stay at anymore than 4/5 accor hotels between now and the end of the year now mother in law isnt coming we will skip Amsterdam.
So sadly in London we cant splurge and go for the Fairmont Savoy. Plus we stayed at around Hyde park last time so she wants a different area of the city to explore. Sofitel is far away enough？Otherwise just suite it up at the new novotel canary wharf.
