Fairmont Singapore an Official Hotel of 2010 Youth Olympic Games

Fairmont Singapore, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts’ landmark property in Asia, has been appointed as an Official Hotel Partner for the much anticipated and historic first Youth Olympic Games from 14 to 26 August 2010.

“With more than a century of hospitality experience, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts looks forward to playing a key role in what promises to be a landmark event for both Singapore and the entire region. As we expand our foothold in Asia with the opening of new properties in Beijing, Kunshan and Shanghai in China, as well as the Philippines and India, we feel that it is fitting for us to unite in the excitement and spirit of the Youth Olympics and celebrate this new tradition,” said Thomas W. Storey, President, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts.

Fairmont Singapore has been involved in hosting a stellar list of high profile and global scale sporting events including the 117th International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session in July 2005, a week-long event which saw over 6,500 officials, delegates, dignitaries and sports celebrities witness London win the bid for the 2012 Olympic Games.

The hotel also served as the corporate base of several Formula One sponsors and officials, and assisted in catering to more than 30,000 meals for corporate hospitality suites during the inaugural Singapore Grand Prix night race.

The Fairmont Singapore features 769 luxurious guestrooms and suites, and a popular collection of
16 restaurants and bars offering authentic Japanese, Italian and Chinese cuisines as well as local delicacies.

In addition to over 70,000 square feet of cutting-edge function space, the hotel also features the award-winning Willow Stream Spa which is one of the largest spa and fitness facilities in Asia.
