New York, NY (August 18, 2017) – On August 21, 2017, Fairmont Royal Pavilion, Barbados will embark on an exciting renovation project designed to significantly enhance the facilities of the hotel and provide a comfortable and luxurious experience for future guests. The hotel lobby and all 72 guest rooms and suites will be completely transformed with a scheduled completion date of November 15, 2017, followed by a restaurant renovation in summer 2018.

"This is an exciting time for Fairmont Royal Pavilion, as we celebrate the commencement of a project which will re-invigorate our elegant, beachfront resort with luxurious new finishes and style inspired by the natural beauty of Barbados," said Francesca Barba, Director of Sales & Marketing.

In an effort to minimize impact to the high levels of service and top-quality guest experience for which Fairmont is known, the hotel will be closed for the invasive part of the renovation, from late September to mid-November 2017.

A number of colleagues and departments will work through the closure to ensure a smooth renovation and transition back to opening.

"It was an extremely difficult decision to close the hotel temporarily. We chose to execute the work over as short a period of time as possible to minimize the impact on the hotel operations and our ability to effectively and positively serve our guests," said Tim Morrison, General Manager.

The newly renovated Fairmont Royal Pavilion is scheduled to re-open on November 12, 2017.
