Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Welcomes Film Icon Susan Sarandon as New Global Brand Ambassador
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is
delighted to announce a new Global Brand Ambassador – the Oscar-winning
actress and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Susan Sarandon. In this unique
role, Ms. Sarandon will star in a global brand campaign that will
portray the transformative power of travel, connecting Fairmont's
history and majestic hotels with modern sensibilities and the dreams of a
new generation of travelers. The campaign is expected to be revealed in
key markets around the world in Spring 2020.
The
collaboration between Ms. Sarandon and the Fairmont brand will focus on
their shared values. Both Fairmont and Ms. Sarandon are dedicated to
professional excellence and award-winning acheivement. With Oscar,
BAFTA, and SAG awards, along with a filmography of over 100 films, Susan
Sarandon continues to inspire audiences with new work, including roles
in The Meddler, The Jesus Rolls and Ray Donovan.
Similarly,
Ms. Sarandon is known among her industry as a trailblazer who leads
with her heart. From her early work in the cult classic film, Thelma & Louise,
to her recent performance as the face of Roger Vivier's autumn/winter
2019 campaign, and starring in the 2016 music video “Fire”, by French
electronic-pop duo Justice, Ms. Sarandon consistently portrays strong
characters with independence, grace and great authenticity - qualities
that Fairmont holds in high esteem.
Fairmont
also shares Ms. Sarandon's commitment to environmental concerns, and
her passion for exploration. Fairmont's first hotels, which can easily
be described as grand castles, were born in the rugged hills of
California and the majestic Canadian Rockies. The intrepid William
Cornelius Van Horne chose the site of the Fairmont Banff Springs with
the remark, "If we can't export the scenery, we'll import the tourists.”

an evening sunset.
The resort features an all-day dining restaurant offering a buffet and a la carte menu options. For light meals and homemade crafted beverages, two bars, including the Beach Bar and Lounge Bar serves a range of savoury snacks and refreshments throughout the day.
A former French colonial town, Vung Tau is a popular seaside escape nestled on a peninsula and surrounded by three sides around the ocean. In addition to its long beaches, the city is home to the former mansion of Indochina's French governor and the Vung Tau Lighthouse atop Small Mountain.
