Accor & Arora announce launch of Fairmont brand in Windsor

Hospitality group Accor and Arora Group have announced the signing of luxury hotel Fairmont Windsor Park, which is currently undergoing a multi-million pound redevelopment.

The property, which is set to open in the second half of 2020, will be the third Fairmont hotel in the UK, joining The Savoy in London and Fairmont St Andrews in Scotland.

Located in Windsor, the property is situated on the former site of Savill Court Hotel and Spa, which was previously owned and operated by Arora Group. The site is currently being completely redeveloped to create a property in line with Fairmont’s globally-recognised standards.

The 200- bedroom hotel will be equipped with a spa and wellness area, which will include an indoor lap pool and outdoor vitality pool, treatment rooms, salt room, Hammam and Japanese foot spa with views over the courtyard and fire pit.

The hotel will also include a tea lounge, specialist dining restaurant and a champagne bar. Additionally, there will be an all-day dining venue offering dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients, incorporating a private dining space and a gin bar.

In one wing of the hotel Fairmont Windsor Park will offer 16 meeting rooms including an 800 square meter pillar-free ballroom with the capacity to cater events of up to 700 guests and two event spaces with access to private terraces, as well as landscaped gardens for outdoor functions.

Surinder Arora, founder and chairman of Arora Group said the group is “incredibly proud” to add to the Fairmont brand to Arora’s growing portfolio of hotels.

Commenting on the new signing, Thomas Dubaere, COO, Accor Northern Europe, added: “The signing of Fairmont Windsor Park with Arora Hotels reflects our expertise in the luxury segment and is an extremely exciting addition to our luxury portfolio in the UK. 

“The signing also underlines our ambitious regional expansion plans demonstrating the UK’s continued role as a key global market.”
