Accor Group of Hotels

Xiamen Airlines Group, in partnership with France's Accor Group, has come together in Xiamen to create the first Fairmont hotel flagship project in Fujian Province - Fairmont Xiamen Air. Coinciding with the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France and the 40th anniversary of Xiamen Airlines, Fairmont Xiamen Air is set to become one of the most anticipated luxury hotels in 2024. Fairmont Xiamen Air has been jointly created and presented by several top-tier design teams. The architectural design is led by FOSTER + PARTNERS, founded by Pritzker Architecture Prize laureate Norman Foster; interior finish design is by Hong Kong's Cheng Chung Design (CCD); and outdoor landscape design is by SWA Group, renowned worldwide for its philosophy of creating harmonious natural systems. From architectural space and decorative design to the luxury hotel service experience, the hotel integrates the century-old classic legend of the Fairmont brand, the charming Minnan culture unique to Xiamen, and the sustainable development concepts jointly upheld by Xiamen Airlines and Accor Group. The hotel is located in the Xiamen Cross-Strait Financial Center on the northeastern part of Xiamen Island, as part of the Xiamen Airlines new headquarters complex. The exterior of the architectural complex draws inspiration from Wuyi Mountain, the heart of Fujian tea culture, while Fairmont Xiamen Air nestles like a subsidiary peak; its 33-story "mountain-shaped" building stands majestically in the heart of Xiamen's Wuyuan Bay. The hotel features 414 guest rooms and suites, offering views of urban bustle and the egret island sea view with angles from 180° to 270°. Five distinctive dining spaces with diverse flavors and the exclusive Fairmont Gold Executive Lounge are distributed from the 1st to the 33rd floor, blending Fujian cuisine, Minnan tea culture, and a variety of international delicacies, creating a layered experience for the palate and the eyes. In terms of wellness and recreation, the hotel has tucked the Fairmont Spa and Fitness Center into a sunken water feature courtyard, aiming to bring every guest an unforgettable tranquility and energetic recharge, immersed in the heart of the city. With the concept of "Classic Legend, Reimagined in Minnan," Fairmont Xiamen Air is set to shine brilliantly in Xiamen, the city known as the "Garden on the Sea." At the same time, the hotel will uphold Accor's commitment to respect, diversity, equality, and inclusion in recruitment and working conditions, ensuring that every employee and guest can fully express themselves and jointly contribute to a new chapter of Sino-French cultural exchange and sustainable development.
