The Fairmont is also opening up its own gardens and is ready to unveil a $10 million refurbishment to its rooms and public areas. The hotel will launch its Sublime Lounge in time for the event, offering a relaxing lunch or morning or afternoon tea. The Fairmont is a listed stop on the Festival Map and Trolley Bus route for this year’s Garden Festival.
