Why work for Fairmont?

At Fairmont, our passion is to connect our guests to the very best of our destinations.

What was true in 1966 remains true to this day: The Century Plaza Hotel is part of a visionary development intent on doing what others could only imagine.

A modernized take on luxury and elevated guest experience from product to people enlivens the real wow factor.
