Final Thoughts

When I reviewed the Delta Privilege Hotel Rewards Program I was amazed by how lucrative the member benefits were.  Fairmont President’s Club takes hotel recognition and rewards to a whole other level with their personalized service and member benefits.  You don’t even need to travel that often to take advantage of the President’s Club benefits.  After enrolling you already get to take advantage of member benefits.

A friend of mine recently stayed at the Chateau Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies and had only joined the Fairmont President’s Club upon booking his room.  The hotel wasn’t full, and he was automatically upgraded to a penthouse suite on arrival.   If you are planning to stay at a Fairmont resort in the near future you should definitely join the Fairmont President’s Club first.
