President’s Letter

recent British history and the world’s pop culture, and we are certain The Savoy will once again take its proper place in London society. It is without a doubt one of the world’s most famous hotels and we are proud that it is also a Fairmont hotel.

London’s The Savoy is truly an icon in every sense of the word. This fall we are reopening this grand hotel after extensive renovations. The guest list of The Savoy reads like a who’s who of

10

And in China, Shanghai’s Fairmont Peace Hotel, one of that country’s great properties, has also undergone an extensive restoration worthy of its rich history. Having such iconic names as The Plaza, Peace Hotel and The Savoy in our portfolio is an honor we do not take lightly. And we also know that to cherish the history of these places we must continue to provide the highest standards of service. An iconic hotel does not become one without delivering excellence in all spheres. And the guest experience is the most important. Because in the end our hotels are nothing without you, our guests. It is your lasting memories that help transform a building into an icon. Our properties are special because you have helped make them special. And as we continue to build the icons of tomorrow, it means a great deal to all of us here that you have entrusted us with your business, and that you are creating tomorrow’s memories today at Fairmont properties around the world. On behalf of everyone at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, I want to thank you for choosing to stay with us.

Within a few years more than half of our properties will be less than ten years old. Yes, many of our properties are iconic properties already. But we’re also busy building the icons of tomorrow.

Some things never go out of style. They are classics and they endure in the popular imagination because they are imbued with qualities that make them iconic. And that’s something that means a lot to us here at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. Many of you see us as custodians of some very iconic properties around the world: New York’s The Plaza, San Francisco’s The Fairmont and Toronto’s Fairmont Royal York, to name a few. But it’s also true that, despite our rich heritage, within a few years more than half of our properties will be less than ten years old. Yes, many of our properties are iconic properties already. But we’re also busy building the icons of tomorrow. Makkah Clock Royal Tower – A Fairmont Hotel in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, is a case in point. Opening in late 2010, built next to the Ka’aba, the holiest place in all of Islam and housing a tower that includes the world’s largest clock face, the Makkah has all the hallmarks of a classic.

Born in Japan and now living in London, MARI SARAI first got behind the camera as a paparazzo while working in New York in the late 1990s. Sarai now shoots celebrities and the stylish set for the likes of Vogue, Dazed & Confused and Vanity Fair. She turned her lens to The Savoy for our cover, capturing Fairmont’s historic past while celebrating its dazzling future.

“I sometimes think my ideal life would be spent entirely in a hotel,” says Random House writer PICO IYER (“In Your Dreams,” page 44), who can swap global hotel stories the way most people talk about real estate. Iyer is the author of nine books and has written for more than 150 magazines. Currently, he’s finishing a book on Graham Greene.

“These hotels are truly fascinating,” says illustrator and collage artist TARA HARDY, who has done work for Coca-Cola and other clients and created the fascinating peek-a-boo illustration that opens “Iconic Hotels” (page 34). “Staying in a room that Marilyn Monroe or Cary Grant stayed in, every guest can be part of this legacy.”

HEATHER GREENWOOD DAVIS, who wrote “Whistler for Families” (page 22), found the B.C. ski resort a “real eye-opener: there is so much to do beyond the ski hills.” This Toronto Star columnist is planning a one-year, around-the-world family adventure. “It’ll be a test of our love of travel and something we’ll definitely remember for a lifetime.”

Montreal-based photographer DAVID SHAW captures the vibrant mix of colors and cultures of Bermuda for “Treasure Island” (page 48). “It’s impossible not to notice the lack of bright blue and pink houses on the mainland. We’ve got to do something about this!” He’s currently renovating an old industrial space into a residential loft.

Raised in Western Canada, REBECCA COLLARD has spent the last three years exploring the Middle East, with particular emphasis on its markets and eateries. For “Cairo Oases” (page 56), Collard, now based in Beirut, returns to the city she once called home and finds, after all this time, that Cairo “still manages to surprise.”

Make Mine a Classic

Modern mixologists are going back to basics, and Fairmont’s The Savoy literally wrote the book on classic cocktails. By JonathAn tate

photo: Jaime LeBlanc food styling: Noah Witenoff (nustyling)

If there is one book that’s always in my cocktail bag wherever I go, it’s The Savoy Cocktail Book by Harry Craddock of The Savoy in London, England. Written in 1930, it details many of the original recipes and methods of the classic cocktails we know and love today. My generation grew up with the largely vodka- and juicebased “disco” drinks of the 1980s and ’90s. It was while sipping a cocktail at the world-famous American Bar at The Savoy that it hit me: these drinks needed to be made more often. A swift flick through The Savoy Cocktail Book reveals hundreds of recipes, ripe for rediscovery. ›

The Perfect Manhattan (The Plaza, a Fairmont Managed Hotel, New York)

1 3/4 oz Gentleman Jack Whiskey 3/4 oz sweet vermouth 3/4 oz dry vermouth 1 dash Angostura® bitters Swirl all ingredients with ice to chill, pour into a cocktail glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry. Serves 1. Legend suggests that this drink originated in New York City in the early 1870s, when it was invented by Dr. Iain Marshall for a banquet hosted by Jennie Jerome (Lady Randolph Churchill, Winston's mother) in honor of presidential candidate Samuel J. Tilden.

White Lady (The Savoy, A Fairmont Managed hotel, London)

The Classic Champagne Cocktail (Fairmont Monte Carlo, Monaco)

4 oz Piper-Heidsieck Champagne 3/4 oz Rémy Martin VSOP Cognac 2 dashes Angostura® bitters 1 sugar cube Soak one sugar cube in a champagne flute with bitters. Add Champagne and Cognac. Squeeze in a twist of lemon and discard. Garnish with half a slice of orange. Serves 1. An early reference to Champagne cocktails is in Mark Twain’s 1869 novel, Innocents Abroad. It is thought the drink found popularity after a bartender named John Dougherty won an 1889 New York cocktail competition with a similar drink.

Whether it’s a Manhattan made with Gentleman Jack, a Rémy Martin-enriched Brandy Alexander or a cooling Golden Mojito featuring Mount Gay rum, try a Classic Cocktail from the special menu offered at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, in conjunction with partners Rémy Cointreau, Brown-Forman and Bombay Sapphire this fall.

› Fast forward to the bars of today and we see a huge global resurgence in classic cocktails, with bartenders around the world drawing knowledge and inspiration from the golden era at the turn of the 20th century. These are drinks that evoke memories and feelings of an age of elegance, when men and women dressed up to meet in fine hotel bars and enjoy the cocktail hour before dining or visiting the theater, and were popularized by famous authors of the time: Hemmingway, Fitzgerald and Kipling among them. One of my favorite recipes from this time originated at a Fairmont property. The White Lady started originally with a gentleman called Harry McElhone (author of Harry’s ABC of Cocktails) and was later immortalized by Harry Craddock, the famous head bartender at The Savoy in the 1920s. It’s a sublime combination of gin, orange liqueur and lemon juice balanced to perfection. With the age of elegance, the art of cocktails and respect for ingredients (including fresh, premium, seasonal fruits) in mind, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts are at the forefront of the return to timeless classic cocktails with their new Classic Cocktail menu, in partnership with spirits like Rémy Martin Cognac, Cointreau, Mount Gay rum, PiperHeidsieck Champagne, Jack Daniels, Bombay Sapphire gin and Finlandia vodka. Why do I like the classics so much? The reason that recipes like these stand the test of time is simplicity, attention to detail and great flavor combinations that respect the spirits and ingredients used. They were cocktails created in the finest bars in the world and for guests’ satisfaction. So join us this season in raising a glass to the memory of great bartenders past and, when asked, “What can I get you?” by your head bartender, the reply is simply: “Make mine a classic!”

1 1/4 oz Bombay Sapphire Gin 2/3 oz Cointreau 2/3 oz fresh lemon juice 1/2 egg white Dry-shake egg white in a cocktail shaker, then add all other ingredients. Shake hard over ice and fine-strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon. Serves 1. Harry Craddock’s original recipe was the same as the above but without egg white, which has been added to give the drink a greater body and a richer mouth feel.

Whistler for Families

Post Olympic Games, Whistler, British Columbia, has plenty to offer active families with kids of all ages and stages of ability. By Heather Greenwood Davis Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre

Ready to rev them up? Take in a bird’s eye view of the backcountry around this ski town while zipping between the trees at 100 kilometers per hour (kids six and up) or trying out an aerial adventure course built especially for little limbs at WildPlay Whistler. The outdoor adventure park encourages kids to swing like Tarzan or walk a circus-worthy tightrope while wearing a harness more than 6 meters (20 feet) above the ground. Adults can join the fun on their own separate course.

Unit 218, 4293 Mountain Sq., 604-932-0647

16 Mile Creek FSR, 604-932-4086

Walk to the beat of a native drum at the architecturally stunning complex that is home to the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre, designed to evoke a traditional Squamish longhouse and a Lil’wat Istken (pit house). Kids get hands-on learning about dugout canoes, weaving and aboriginal lore while developing a deeper understanding of the artistic storytelling behind native arts and culture. Don’t skip the gift shop, where metal key rings in the shape of bear paws ($4) are worthy of show and tell at home. Tradition is yours for the tasting at the onsite café in the form of smoked salmon and bannock panini.

Long after the ski runs close for the day, adrenaline seekers are still going strong at the Coca-Cola Tube Park at the Base 2 Zone on Blackcomb Mountain. Ride the lift to the top of one of eight paths, 304 meters (1,000 feet) long (ranging from novice to expert), paved with snow and ice for highflying adventures. Pint-size tubers can opt for the “minizone,” where hills and tubes are just their size. Come out on a wintry Sunday and you can cap the experience with a free “Fire and Ice” show, where skiers and snowboarders jump through rings of fire under fireworks at Skiers Plaza.

Flashes of Brilliance The art stars of tomorrow get exposure at Magenta’s Flash Forward Festival. By Eve Thomas

Displacement #1 (Red Balloon) Darren Rigo, Canada

Getting a foot in the door can be difficult for young artists. But over 500 up-and-coming photographers from Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom are a little further inside thanks to Flash Forward, a yearly competition presented by philanthropic arts publishing house the Magenta Foundation since 2004. And what was once simply a contest for emerging artists is now also a biennial festival in Toronto, Canada. Debuting this October with help from sponsor Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, the Flash Forward Festival offers emerging photographers a showcase for their work through five days of events, fairs and exhibits that connect them with art-world players and potential patrons (all in addition to the competition’s yearly publication, a deluxe collectible book featuring photographs by Flash Forward winners). Now that’s a bright idea. Fairmont magazine

Art of Travel A picture might be worth a thousand words, but how do you know if it’s worth its thousand-dollar price tag? Here are some expert tips on buying art abroad, from Eye Buy Art founder and Flash Forward Festival co-director Emily McInnes.

Time Transcendence 4 Dan Doucette, Canada

Thinking About Tragedy Kevin Van Aelst, United States

DO Consider context. Citing the Young British Artists of the 1990s and up-and-coming South American artists, McInnes pays attention to the ebb and flow of art world geography. Good signs that a city is a hot spot for visual arts? Red-hot music, film, fashion and food scenes. Look for artist-run centers. Look for contemporary art institutions and galleries attached to universities and art colleges, and talk to the people working there. Often the staff is made up of artists. Find out which artists they’re interested in, where they show their work and what neighborhoods they suggest checking out. Says McInnes: “The artists are the ones who are always one step ahead.”

Lorem ipsum — Lorem ipsum dolore sit

32

Research, research, research. Read up on the area and on local artists beforehand. (McInnes recommends checking out the travel section of The New York Times.) If you’re unsure about whether a gallery is giving you a reputable deal, ask a local competitor for a second opinion. McInnes says, “We are all

in this together so, for the most part, people in the art world are pretty straightforward.” DON’T Expect to discover the next Van Gogh. If you want a souvenir, go ahead and buy from a stall by the Seine. For a piece that may accrue in value, you’re better off heading to a gallery in the 2e arrondissement. There is no secret formula to knowing what the future price of a piece of art will be. McInnes is adamant, though, that everyone should buy art based on passion, not (potential) value. “Ultimately, I think it’s important to go with your gut and just enjoy whatever you choose to enjoy.” Be afraid to ask for a discount. An art gallery can seem a bit too formal for bargaining, but if you are from abroad and need to pay to ship the work home, you may be able to save 10-15 percent on the initial price. If you ask nicely. magentafoundation.org eyebuyart.com

Four Modern Classics

Open Their Doors History begins: following the successful relaunch of New York’s The Plaza in 2008, Shanghai’s historic Fairmont Peace Hotel and London’s landmark The Savoy are unveiled after dramatic restorations. Also in 2010, a new icon opens its doors in Saudi Arabia as the Makkah Clock Royal Tower – A Fairmont Hotel welcomes pilgrims from around the world. These buildings are more than hotels. They are the homes of stories and histories, celebrities and luminaries, and, most of all, memories. Past. Present. And future.

Everyone from George Gershwin to George Bernard Shaw toasts in the American Bar, home of The Savoy Cocktail Book. Edwardian style and art deco flourishes live on at The Savoy today, with its iconic marquee gleaming anew. Some of its most famous longtime guests, from Sir Winston Churchill to Maria Callas, have been enshrined in "personality suites," rich with libraries, artwork and even stationery reminiscent of their storied guests. The Savoy Grill is a classic restaurant reinvented by chef patron Stuart Gillies and head chef Andy Cook, under the auspices of a celebrity toque, Gordon Ramsay Holdings. Old meets new, seamlessly.

where Fifth Avenue meets Central Park, The Plaza opens its doors and instantly becomes part of New York’s social and cultural landscape. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt sign the register first, calling The Plaza home; so does the fictional character Eloise, the naughty little girl whose enchanted existence lives on in books and films. Ernest Hemingway advises his friend F. Scott Fitzgerald to “give your heart to The Plaza,” a trove of Beaux Arts-style decor decadence. The white and gold Grand Ballroom backdrops masked swans dancing at Truman Capote’s legendary Black and White Ball; the Oak Bar’s Central Park murals glimmer over hushed candlelit moments. The future picks up exactly where the past left off: chef Willis Loughhead skillfully blends classical and modern French cuisine today at The Palm Court, under a 167-square-meter (1,800-squarefoot) stained-glass ceiling, reconstructed from shards of colored glass from the original. As if untouched by the modern world that whizzes past its gilded doors, this hotel continues to captivate. As its most famous resident little girl once remarked: “Oooooooo I absolutely love The Plaza.”

Arabia’s Holy Mosque represents a unique opportunity and a unique responsibility: to provide a beacon for pilgrims in the heart of the Holy City and the finest hospitality to guests participating in hajj, the most important journey of their lives and their opportunity to view the Ka’aba, the central icon of the Muslim world. That responsibility is embraced at the Makkah Clock Royal Tower – A Fairmont Hotel, through its signature clock tower, an instant attraction, which announces prayer times daily. Within the hotel, two prayer rooms can hold nearly 5,000 worshippers, and dozens of elevators whisk them to Al Masjid al Haram Mosque for prayers. Ten dining options, including what is considered to be the first authentically Saudi restaurant in Saudi Arabia, honor all preferences and tastes. Modernity is carefully blended with tradition here: a Lunar Observation Center and an Islamic Museum co-exist with enough fiber-optic cable to make it one of the smartest buildings in the world. It’s a 76-story hotel where thousands of pilgrims’ stories will begin.

In Your Dreams Hotels have captured our imaginations ever since the first voyagers started looking for shelter for the night. One veteran traveler examines the inner meaning of hotels to their visitors, and the iconic role they play in our experience of travel – even as destinations in themselves. By Pico Iyer

A blushing young bride sweeps past in a wedding

dress, clutching flowers, on a radiant Sunday in late spring, as men in ties issue forth from the stained-glass foyer. Couples are posing for photographs, excited, in the garden with its rose arbor. In front of the hotel’s ivied walls, not far from the stately library, visitors are gathering near the Dinner Reservations office to get tickets for a ninety-minute tour of the property the following day. A flag flutters proudly above the turrets, as if to announce your arrival, and if you walk past the great ballroom, famous for its afternoon teas, you can enter a lounge where the tiger skin on the wall tells you you’ve arrived in Kipling’s world, back in the day when the hotel first opened, in 1908. The grand hotel that commands this harbor is called The Fairmont Empress, but it looks as if it’s fit for queens – and captains of industry and dukes. And indeed the framed black-and-white photos on its walls show Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the U.S. president, sitting outside its entrance, and Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, when she was a princess, accepting a gift at lunch there. In 1919 the Prince of Wales danced till dawn in the hotel’s Crystal Ballroom. Just to walk into the Empress is to feel as if your entire life has been upgraded to Gold Level. It’s no surprise that the place, which sits perpendicular to the provincial Parliament Buildings (and somewhat dwarfs them), is one of the first sights any visitor wants to see when she arrives in Victoria, British Columbia; like another Canadian hotel, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Québec City, or like The Plaza in New York, it’s one of those hotels that people long to

44

see, even if they can’t stay there. Not just a gateway to the sights, but an important sight and destination in itself. The hotel as icon: it’s something that has held the world ever since the first travelers started looking for shelter for the night, especially since most of those who could travel then were lords and ladies. And a visitor today feels that she’s joining all the eminences who have passed through the same doors, and is circulating among Fred Astaire, Charlie Chapin and Queen Noor of Jordan. I remember checking into the Peace Hotel my first hour in Shanghai, and feeling as if I could hear Noël Coward completing Private Lives in one room, even as the celebrated band was still performing in the Old Jazz Bar. The “Number One mansion in the Far East,” as the place was called, allowed me to savor the glamorous old Shanghai of the cosmopolitan 1930s along the Bund, outside its front door, even as I was watching a new high-rising Shanghai come up across the water. An iconic hotel is at once a glorified home, and everything you could never expect to enjoy at home: it offers friendliness, welcome and warmth – everything and everyone is trying to make you feel comfortable; and yet it also ushers you into a realm of crystal chandeliers and white gloves and dinner jackets and sweeping staircases that speak for an elevated life that usually we can visit only in our dreams. Grand hotels may be the closest that most of us get to living in Versailles. They even, like the new Makkah Clock Royal Tower – A Fairmont Hotel, become the antechambers to the most important moments in many pilgrims’ lives.

Iconic Iconic hotels hotels

An iconic hotel ushers you into the realm of an elevated life that usually we can visit only in our dreams.

That’s why, I think, the somewhat standard business hotel I used to visit regularly in La Paz, Bolivia, called itself Plaza Hotel; it wanted to partake of some of the luster that attaches to The Plaza Hotel in New York, a designated National Historic Landmark where the fictional Eloise lived, where Western governments signed the Plaza Accord in 1985 and in whose Palm Court you can feel as if you’ve stolen into a scene from Plaza Suite. Or, even better, as if you’re taking afternoon tea with someone who’s escaped from a Jane Austen novel. Served most often in a capacious lounge, suffused with an air of high grandeur, centering on loose-leaf teas and offering a meal that you seldom even think about at home, afternoon tea is for me an emblem of what a classic hotel is all about. The delicacies arrive on three-story trays, with scones, smoked salmon sandwiches and Battenberg cakes each occupying their own level; harpists play Bach; you aspire to make conversation worthy of the finger sandwiches; and clotted cream makes perhaps its only appearance in your daily life. San Francisco is full of extraordinary restaurants, but I’ve almost never had dinner in any of them

because, on every visit, I stuff myself with afternoon tea at The Fairmont San Francisco, which somehow seems more unforgettable. A hotel is a holiday from life, and it’s a break from the world we know too well; passing into the lobby of a heritage hotel is akin to entering another era in the world’s life. As a young boy growing up near London, I grew used to slipping into The Savoy, just off the Strand, whenever the crowds, the noise, the push of life got too much. The storied old hotel is famous, of course, as the home of the Peach Melba and innumerable unique cocktails, as the place where Vivien Leigh met Laurence Olivier, as the temporary home of artists from Monet to The Who. But for me, it wasn’t the fact that it was the first hotel to be lit by electricity, or the only place in Britain where you are required to drive on the right, that mattered; it was simply the way its air of civilized attention made life feel safe and impeccable at last. A few months ago, I found myself in the Canadian Rockies, where The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel commands the pine-filled slopes like a people’s castle. A classic hotel sits above the clamor and cares of the world, I thought, like a wise old aunt, who’s seen everything, is surprised by nothing and still looks dazzling in her pearls. She’s watched broken hearts and heads of state, she’s weathered courtly romances and political dramas and yet she’s still open for whatever grand adventure may come her way next. An iconic hotel, like a novel by W. Somerset Maugham or Henry James, is an art gallery, a palace, a living museum, a history lesson and a romance, all at once.

Afternoon tea in Bermuda perfectly encapsulates the entire

vibe of this island. A pot of Earl Grey and a shrimp and watercress-stuffed mini-croissant, plus a rum scone with Devonshire clotted cream and lime jam: everything is properly British – yet with a distinct island accent. Though Bermuda’s stormy beginnings are rife with stories of treasure-laden galleons and plundering pirates, civilized serenity reigns here today, as evidenced by its neat lines of colonial cottages in sherbet shades overlooking the crystalline Atlantic. The 54 square-kilometer (21-square-mile) archipelago is the oldest of the British overseas territories. Yet still, like the Bermudian businessmen I see everywhere wearing smart blazers with colorful knee-socks and the country’s namesake shorts, beneath its orderly Anglo-Saxon-isms, the maverick origins of this place are ever present.

After nibbling on sweets and savories, I take in the sights of the capital city, where my teatime oasis, the resplendent Fairmont Hamilton Princess hotel, is situated. The bustling capital is flush with restaurants and boutiques. Mopeds zip by and cruise ships rest in the ferry terminal. The venerable hotel, celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, is a beloved fixture of this urban environment. The “Pink Palace,” as it’s known locally, was bestowed its official moniker in honor of Queen Victoria’s daughter, Princess Louise, who had extolled the glories of Bermuda as a kind of paradise. True to form, The Fairmont Hamilton Princess has its own dishy history. During World War II, it was intelligence HQ for allied secret agents and served as temporary home to a real-life Commander Bond (reportedly the basis for Ian Fleming’s rogue agent 007).

As the lazy afternoon melts into evening, teatime gives way to happy hour. Now I find those Bermuda-clad financiers in relaxation-mode, mingling with women in breezy casual-chic attire while children scamper on the lawn. The live band lets loose with Fleetwood Mac and Coldplay covers, and I get into the local sway, ordering a Dark ’n’ Stormy, the island signature made with Gosling’s Black Seal Rum and Stormy Ginger Beer. Settling into a seat on the terrace, I cap off the evening by dreamily watching boats breeze past Hamilton Harbour. The feeling of Bermudian intrigue resonates with me again the next day as I explore the sprawling Fairmont Southampton, a few parishes and an entire mindset away from Hamilton. The country resort, set on the island’s highest point, overlooks the pink-sand idyll known as the South Shore. Here, I join 11th-generation Bermudi-

an Peter Frith and his wife, Chrissy, on the outdoor terrace of the Ocean Club, where we hoist signature Ocean-tinis (vodka, rum and vibrant blue Hpnotiq liqueur). My host (who happens to be the resort’s former director of sales) is descended from legendary seafarers: Christopher Carter, one of two Brits who settled in Bermuda after the shipwreck of their vessel, the Sea Venture, off the east coast in 1609 and Hezekiah Frith, a plucky privateer. “That’s like a legal pirate,” winks Frith naughtily. “The King of England gave them permission to raid any ship with which they were at war.” My own treasure arrives on a plate: harissa-spiked tuna tartare, and rockfish, in a complex kaffir lime leaf sauce, revealing the worldly palate of Sanjay Leeme, senior chef de partie, whose résumé includes a stint working with a French master chef. ›

As I splash along Horseshoe Bay Beach, near the Fairmont Beach Club, the ocean, like the Miles Davis classic, is a harmony of blue in green. I saunter along the pinkish, powdery sand of one of the world’s most photographed coastlines, then up the dunes, encountering dramatic coves that create pockets of privacy dotted with sun worshippers and shutterbugs. This beach reminds me of the dreamy interlude I enjoyed at the luxe Willow Stream Spa at The Fairmont Southampton: the smooth stones used in my hot-stone massage were black like the island rock; the rose- and cedar-scented oil reminiscent of Bermuda’s heady flora. A facial with sea algae and the invigorating salt used in a body scrub are both inspired by this sea and this air. A bikini-clad adventuress ambles atop a striated black boulder, waving her arms. She’s the queen of the world, for a moment in time. Another sensory encounter awaits in the Town of St. George, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in St. George’s parish. The town crier is off duty as I walk past King’s Square and follow the narrow, cobblestone streets, past storybook houses, to Stewart Hall. Here I find The Bermuda Perfumery, which has been making its own distinctive fragrances under the Lili Bermuda brand since 1928.

Isabelle Ramsay-Brackstone, the French-Canadian owner and master perfumer, leads me to the maceration room, where essential oils commingle in enormous bottles, then to an atmospheric, cedar-beamed room boasting perfume-making paraphernalia from bygone eras and jars stuffed with orrisroot, oak moss and musk seeds. As I sniff paper blotters infused with single notes, Ramsay-Brackstone explains how she strives to capture the island’s “lush greeneries and flowers, the ocean, the fruits, the wind, the sand and the sun” in her artisan fragrances. One of her latest is South Water, a coconut milk, sea salt and juicy guava blend. “I call it Liquid Bermuda because to me it smells like the beach. It’s incredibly sultry and flirty.” I dab it on my wrist; like Bermuda itself – from its blush-hued beaches to its unconventional cuisine – it’s perfection, with just a hint of wild abandon.

Cairo Oases Even within this teeming Egyptian city, there are places — on land, from the water, even up in the air — that inspire pause, quiet and contemplation.

From atop the minaret at the Mosque of Ahmad

ibn Tulun, Cairo unfolds in front of us. The collage of ramshackle apartment blocks with satellite dish-laden rooftops is broken by the lush, bushy fronds of palm and fig trees. The blow of car horns is dulled by the wind before it reaches us, a few hundred meters removed from the chaotic streets below. “You know, this is the first time I’ve climbed a minaret,” admits my friend Shahin, who’s lived most of his 30 years in Cairo. Far to the right we can see the gleaming silver domes and fortified walls of Saladin’s Citadel. Saladin, who once controlled vast swaths of the Middle East, built this fortress in the 12th century to defend the city from the Crusaders. It served as Egypt’s seat of power for some 700 years. Now, the silhouette of the Citadel, perched on a spur of the Mokattam Hills to the east of the city, defines the skyline. In Arabic, Cairo is called al-Qahirah, or “the victorious,” a somewhat ironic name for a city that saw a succession of rulers, from Arab to Mamluk to Ottoman. It was only Gamal Abdel Nasser’s 1952 revolution that declared Egypt a republic and ousted the Egyptian monarchy. I lived for two years in this victorious city as an expat. I explored its cultural monuments: crawling inside the iconic pyramids on Cairo’s outskirts, spending hours lost among the mummies at the Egyptian Museum, roaming the glorious Citadel. Now, I am back, but on this visit I’m free from the baggage of everyday life as a resident. As I look out over the maze of alleyways teeming with sandwich carts and donkey-drawn carriages steered by men in long galabiyya robes, I have a fresh perspective on the city that I know so well. This time, as visitor, I see more clearly the pockets of peace and contemplation within one of the world’s most frenzied capitals.

58

“Yallah,” calls Shahin, using the ubiquitous Arabic phrase for “let’s go,” and we creep down the stone steps that wrap around the outside of the minaret. I retreat into a traditional Islamic-style mansion attached to the Mosque of Ahmad ibn Tulun, a hidden museum. Mashrabiya window coverings gently filter the yellow glow of sunlight on a venerable collection of antiquities, all donated by a retired English cotor who had served in the British Army. In 1935, Major R.G. Gayer-Anderson persuaded the Egyptian government to let him reside in this centuries-old house, on the condition that he leave his impressive collection of antiquities to the state upon his death. Every corner is now furnished with a Pharaonic bust, intricately carved wooden mirror or ancient handwoven rug. Unlike many of Egypt’s more-famed collections, here you can stroll through history unobstructed by Plexiglas. Craving a bit of direct sun and the scent of jasmine flowers, we head to Al-Azhar Park, a lush 74-acre green space in the heart of old Cairo. When we arrive, two women, fully dressed in pants, long shirts and headscarves, are splashing in the fountain under the hot afternoon sun. Resisting the temptation to join them, Shahin and I lounge on Bedouin-style cushions at Al-Azhar’s Park’s Citadel View Restaurant, from which we can indeed see Saladin’s ancient city. We feast on kofta meatballs and fattoush (a traditional Lebanese salad with crispy bread and tangy pomegranate syrup). But the star of the meal is the muhammara, a spicy walnut and red pepper dip, complete with a small pool of smooth olive oil and fresh mint. Along with this feast, we take in the view, gazing at the lush parklands. It’s hard to believe that for 500 years the site of this oasis was a mound of wreckage, once used as Cairo’s garbage dump. In 1984, when

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM A boy uses his head to carry a tray of bread in the Khan El-Khalili market; longtime waiter Mohamed Hassan Sadek at Café Riche; a fruit merchant in the Garden City district.

His Highness Aga Khan purposed funding a park for Cairo – a city with one of the lowest rates of green space per capita in the world – the only large and available plot of land was the heap of rumble stretching between the 12th Century Ayyubid city and the 15th Century Mamluk graveyard. Adjacent to the space was the Darb al Al-Ahmar neighborhood, rich in Islamic architecture. Through careful planning and engagement of area residents in the project, the vibrant green space of Al-Azhar Park was produced while preserving the cultural and historic richness. We descend on the gardens, winding our way around the lake and through palms and hibiscus flowers until the sun falls behind Cairo’s epic skyline. The next morning, I venture to Khan El-Khalili, Cairo’s biggest and oldest market. I’m on a mission. I need to replenish my stock of multicolored leather babouche shoes, which I wore in Cairo for two years. I quickly become absorbed in the market, my eyes trailing from ornately engraved silver lamps and richly colored blown glass to massive silver rings set with heavy pieces of turquoise and chunky Arabian-style earrings (one of my weaknesses). A sweet mélange of amber and lavender oils wafts out of the Khan El-Khalili’s many perfume shops. Vendors sit on small wooden stools sipping sugary tea and making multilingual calls to customers through the crowd: “Want to see my shop?” “Looking is free!” “Do you like pashmina scarf?” By the time I reach my babouche dealer, my bag is heavy with purchases and I am exhausted. I plunk myself down on a folding stool in a shop stocked with leather bags, wallets and shoes. Let the games begin. Having done this many times before, I know to begin by acting uninterested. I try on several colors and explain, in my limited Arabic, that they are nothing special, “Adi, yani.” Yet after 30 minutes of bartering I leave with four pairs, including sparkly gold ones, at half the asking price. Victory! I head to a juice stall for refreshment. Mangos, bananas, guavas, pomegranates, oranges and even avocados hang in front, just waiting to be squeezed and blended. I opt for orange and gulp back the sweet, pulpy nectar before retreating for a bit of relaxation. A swim in the rooftop pool at Fairmont Nile City proves the perfect antidote to a day of haggling on bustling streets. I submerge my body in cool water. Relief. The pool deck is a sky-high refuge, from which I can see the Nile River stretch in both directions, cutting wide through Cairo. Since long before the Pharaohs reigned here, the Nile has been the foundation of this society; ancient tribes gathered along its banks. I lie back on the lounge chair with the warm Egyptian sun on my face and let myself slip into unconsciousness. I rouse myself in time to have my own Nile adventure. Any visitor to Cairo should experience the city from the river, where the Pharaohs once paddled. Along the corniche of Cairo’s Garden City district, felucca sailboats wait to take passengers on the Nile. As we leave the shore, Ahmed adjusts his soft blue galabiyya and leans hard on the back oar of the Aida, his 30-foot felucca. A cool breeze pushes us toward the middle of the Nile and we cruise gently on the calm waters, leaving behind the city’s crowded streets. That famous skyline rises from the ›

› Nile’s banks. In the middle of the Nile, the sound of the city’s chaos fades and we hear only the gentle splash of water against the wood hull of the Aida. I put my legs up on the long cushioned bench that runs along the side of the vessel and lean back to take in the view. “From where?” asks Ahmed in thick Egyptian Arabic, nodding his nose ever so slightly in my direction. “From Shoubra,” I reply, naming a middle-class neighborhood a few kilometers north along the river, rarely visited by foreigners. My response receives a predictable chuckle, as he glances at my obviouslynot-Egyptian face. Sitting down, Ahmed pulls in the rope, sending us upstream. Darkness begins to creep over the river and the lights of the buildings on the shore brighten and tower above our little boat. Another felucca slides past, occupied by a dozen young Egyptians dancing wildly to Arabic pop music. I feel an urge to join them and suggest that, once on shore, we head downtown to one of Cairo’s many belly-dancing clubs. A night of raqs baladi, as it’s called in Arabic, is a classic way to spend an Egyptian evening. When the dancer arrives on stage, her hips quiver madly, seemingly without effort. In front of a five-piece band, her yellow costume swings and her hair swirls around her waist. A singer joins her, humming Arabic lyrics as the dancer spins under a decorative Santa Claus. The dancer eyes Shahin and me, tucked in our red velvet booth at the back of the bar. I meet her gaze and immediately she motions for me to come forward, as Shahin eggs me on. I’ve had just enough beer to decide it’s a good idea, doing my best hip-shaking baladi imitation. I quickly switch off with Shahin, who hits the stage and is instantly moving in time with the dancer. He returns to the table several minutes later, tired but smiling.

On my last day in Cairo, Shahin suggests a quick lunch at Café Riche, a hub for the city’s intellectuals before the 1952 revolution. Thousands of Europeans, many from families who had lived for generations in Cairo and the coastal city of Alexandria, fled the country after the revolution, temporarily taking with them much of Egypt’s cosmopolitan charm. “Italians, Greeks, Jews, French, British, Armenians and Egyptians, everyone came here before the revolution,” says Mohamed Hassan Sadek, sitting down at our table at Café Riche, dressed in the crisp white shirt and classic black vest and bow tie of a formal waiter’s uniform. Mohamed has been serving at Café Riche since he left his Nubian village, a thousand kilometers south, in search of work at the age of thirteen. Sixty years later, he lists the names of Egypt’s most famous actors, musicians and writers, like the Nobel Prize-winning author Naguib Mahfouz, whose photo he points to on the wall. He has served them all at these tables. I eye the antique piano in the corner and imagine what a night at Riche would have been like six decades ago. Who sang next to that piano, I wonder, searching the famous faces on the wall. I survey the crowd around the dining room. Beside us, a group of European twenty-somethings sporting faux kifaya scarves flip through a guidebook, while a waiter in a long blue and gold robe pours Turkish coffee, fragrant with cardamom, for two Egyptian men. A steady stream of locals and tourists stream by on the street outside Café Riche’s door. Millions of tourists visit the country’s Pharaonic ruins and millennia-old sites of worship each year. Cairo – the true jewel of the Nile – has regained all of its former glory, perhaps with an even more authentically North African sparkle today than it has ever had in the past. I breathe it all in.

EAT , DRINK and be healthy Combining their obsession with fine cuisine and a passion for meeting every guest’s needs, Fairmont’s executive chefs indulge in wellness-based cuisine and cutting-edge nutrition. By charlene Rooke | Illustrations by tonwen Jones

The nametags trace these guests’ hometowns from Singapore

to Sonoma, Barbados to Beijing. Waiters serve immaculate sushi and foamed coconut-soup shooters to a cosmopolitan group. But a normal business gathering it’s not. Nearly all of the fifty-five executive chefs from Fairmont Hotels & Resorts worldwide are in Chicago for a one-of-a-kind conference – a global chef ’s summit, if you will. They are in for a surprise. Portable burners and colored aprons top the tables. On one wall, the elegant Fairmont “F” logo has been dartboarded with knives. To Food Network fans this means one thing: Top Chef – or a reasonable facsimile. “Welcome to the Fairmont Chef quick-fire challenge!” announces the hostess. The rules include a “black box” of mystery ingredients and thirty minutes to assemble a dish judged on taste, technique, presentation and creativity. After they’re announced, silence blankets the room for three seconds. Then the signature traits of every great chef kick in. First, competitive instinct. “Are you ready to rumble?” bellows one, as he bounds up to draw a color-coded knife. Next, teamwork, as the chefs bond around their

stations and tie on aprons. Finally, creativity, as the clock signals “Go!” and they ponder eclectic ingredients, from crab meat and tuna belly to kiwi and cucumber. Red-hot Cheetos are pulverized into gourmet seasoning; Coca-Cola is reduced into syrup – tongue-in-cheek ingredients for Fairmont, known for its Lifestyle Cuisine menu choices for health-conscious guests. “What about a Caesar salad?” buzzes one team, tossing minced, sautéed hot dog bits with lightly dressed frisée. “It’s a Chicago maki!” another team dubs its tasty hot-dog sushi coated in red Cheeto dust. At the judging, the chefs demonstrate a final defining trait, charisma, by describing their quick-fire dishes with the same personality they’d use tableside in their restaurants. In the end, the judges deem every team a winner; after the next three days of intense training, every Fairmont guest is a winner, too. The chefs leave inspired to reinvent their menus, inspired by the principles of a new Lifestyle Cuisine Plus. This is next-generation wellness food, meaning that a guest with a health condition (diabetes, heart or celiac disease, high cholesterol or blood pressure or food allergies) or special dietary habits (from macrobiotic to raw and vegan eating) can ›

Baxter has gleaming brunette hair, perfect white teeth and glowing skin: to cop the famous When Harry Met Sally line, “I’ll have what she’s having.” She distinguishes between truly healthy food and so-called health food: “Take an egg or nuts, for instance – they are rich in nutrients and we feel full and satisfied after we eat them. ‘Health’ food, on the other hand, is generally highly processed.” Baxter, like any dietitian, is normally preoccupied with calories and nutrition. “For this project, I had to understand what healthy food and healthy cooking meant from a chef ’s perspective” – that is, flavor, texture and taste. Seven executive chefs from all over the globe worked closely with Baxter, including Bruno Tison of The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa in California. An avid runner, skier and flyfisherman, Tison has always exercised his conservationist instinct as a chef. “People love to hear that what you are preparing is locally grown, that you are supporting the community and helping to preserve our environment,” he says. Local flavors and ingredients infuse the menus at every Fairmont. For instance, John Cordeaux, executive chef at Fairmont Bab Al Bahr in Abu Dhabi, has created a dish of grilled date-honey-glazed chicken, steamed asparagus, roasted sweet potato and fennel ginger slaw that satisfies a sophisticated global palate – and Baxter’s requirements for heart-healthy cuisine. That’s just one example of a Lifestyle Cuisine Plus dish, built around simple-to-master nutritional templates for each special diet, applied via a unique, sophisticated software to the chef ’s own recipes. Chef Gavin Stephenson at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle, for instance, used the new nutritional guidelines to create a seasonal dish including local morel mushrooms

(two ways, stuffed inside tender ravioli and lightly smoked) and a molten, aged Gouda cheese – a plate so savory that any diner would welcome a taste. “With our expertise as chefs, we can create amazing meals that will be good for our guests as well,” says chef David Garcelon of the iconic The Fairmont Royal York in Toronto. “In most cases you don’t want to eliminate food groups entirely; instead you need to have the right balance of proteins, carbs and fat.” The concept is unique to any luxury hotel group: by 2011 guests with, for instance, high cholesterol can request a Lifestyle Cuisine Plus menu, knowing their nutritional needs can be met at every hotel. Says Fairmont’s corporate director food and beverage, Americas, Mariano Stellner: “Whether a guest enjoys a meal at The Fairmont Dallas or Fairmont Singapore, the dish will be different but the wellness values will be the same.” Chef Robert LeCrom at The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver recalls a regular guest who is a vegan but expects well-balanced meals prepared with the same creativity that’s on every plate at Griffin’s, the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant. The results, usually a combination of Lebanese and French culinary influences, leave her “blown away!” Le Crom recounts. Eating and drinking a little too well are among the hazards of frequent travel, and as I listen to Baxter and the chefs discuss meals that are nourishing and satisfying, yet light enough to let you enjoy a day of meetings or sightseeing, I realize how deeply caring and sharing this wellness cuisine program truly is. On the final day of this conference, the more than 50 chefs pose in their gleaming white jackets and exchange farewell embraces. The flying chefs shoulder Fairmont backpacks loaded with clever lunch boxes packed with sushi and other healthy treats for their flights, carrying the message of wellness cuisine home to their guests. Ask for a Lifestyle Cuisine Plus menu at any Fairmont Hotels & Resorts property worldwide, starting in 2011.

First place goes to Stephen Pollard, whose dog is apparently Fairmont’s biggest canine fan. “Molly has stayed at five of the Fairmont Hotels. From Victoria to Vancouver to Jasper, Lake Louise and Banff, she is welcomed everywhere and given special treats and doggie walks. The staff were great, as always. Here she is outside the famous The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise during the winter, with her special dog tag on.”

Second place is a romantic anecdote from Peter Whitmore about the picturesque Fairmont Le Château Montebello in Québec City, Canada. “My wife and I were so excited when we first discovered Fairmont Le Château Montebello just a short forty-five-minute drive from our home. Sitting with a perfect cup of hot cocoa, the minutes melted into hours as we sat and enjoyed an evening of conversation with friends, reflecting on memories shared together and the new ones just created.”

Third place goes to a charming travel photo from Hawaii by Jonathan Edwards.“Beautiful sea turtles are everywhere at The Fairmont Orchid on the Big Island. My daughter was fascinated by them; she carefully approached and sat down, and proceeded to have a conversation with the turtle. I don't know what she said, but she sure enjoyed herself!”

Editor's Choice is by Ian Byram from the Fairmont Mara Safari Club in Kenya: “Our driver both entertained and educated us during the sunrise and sunset drives. This scene capped off an unforgettable experience.”

Lady Luck

Through more than 20 years together, and through the road hazards of a Canadian winter, the Barenaked Ladies have survived to rock another day. By Nick Rockel

What’s it like being on tour after all these years?

Ed Robertson: When we first started touring twentytwo years ago, we were totally disconnected from our friends, our family. Now, I can go into my hotel room and flip open my laptop and video-chat with my kids, so it feels a lot more connected than it did.

82

Tyler Stewart: Make friends. When you’re in a band, you know you’re going to be back in that city. If you have friends there, they’ll show you around. Jim Creeggan: If I go to a music shop or something, I’ll ask them where to eat. If I trust their taste in music, I’ll probably trust their taste in food.

JC: Tubing down the river… ER: I said this in an interview before and we got all kinds of e-mail from people thinking we were making fun of Boise. No! We really like it. That was a serious answer. TS: I think Minneapolis is an underrated town. I always have fun when we go – and there's a great comic book store there!

Let’s go through the mountains and the blizzard to get to see Van Halen on time.” ER: Some guy came along in a pickup truck and pulled us out by the bumper. We asked what we owed him, and he said, “Nothin’. Have a good day.” Just a nice guy.
