    #TIFF18 Blog: Fairmont Loves Film

    by W. Andrew Powell September 11, 2018
    by W. Andrew Powell September 11, 2018

    A great movie needs great locations as much as it needs a great cast, or a sophisticated director, and over the years Fairmont hotels have played a big role on screen.

    by W. Andrew Powell May 14, 2016
    by W. Andrew Powell May 14, 2016

    This week in the blog you get two for the price of one as I catch up on blogging about what I’ve been up to for both last week, and this week. There has been a lot going on, including an interview with Emily VanCamp, screening X-Men: Apocalypse, interviews with Cabbie Richards and two stars from How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town, a Hudson’s Bay x Taste Canada event, and lots, lots more.

    Royal York diary, Part 9: The Honey Harvest

    by Christopher Heard September 8, 2009
    by Christopher Heard September 8, 2009

    I have often mentioned in this series that life inside the Fairmont Royal York Hotel is a swirling microcosm of activity and life, and the closer you look the more intricate and fascinating that microcosm becomes, uniquely so here at the Royal York as that microcosm of activity reaches from the very sun-splashed rooftops to the convention floor canyons of stainless steel in the kitchens.

    Royal York diary, Part 8: Movie magic

    by Christopher Heard August 25, 2009
    by Christopher Heard August 25, 2009

    Originally I was going to call this chapter of the series “The Fairmont Royal York Goes To The Movies,” but in essence it really should be called “The Movies Go To The Fairmont Royal York.”

    On Tuesday, August 4th the Toronto International Film Festival held the second of its annual summer press conferences in the venerable Imperial Room here at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel.

    Royal York diary, Part 7: Solitude and the gryphon

    by Christopher Heard August 12, 2009
    by Christopher Heard August 12, 2009

    In the last week I have been sitting in the mezzanine lounge of the Royal York Hotel, or sitting in Epic restaurant lounge – watching people make their way through the lobby or relax over a cocktail after either a long day in meetings or a long day of sightseeing – just feeling the energy of the place. It got me thinking about the allure of living in a hotel and why it is something that writers and actors and artists and musicians seem to gravitate towards.

    Royal York diary, Part 6: The hotel connection

    by Christopher Heard July 30, 2009
    by Christopher Heard July 30, 2009

    I have always felt a magical, almost cosmic connection to the Fairmont Royal York, and for some time I wondered where that feeling came from.

    After all, I have been lucky enough to have spent time in some of the finest hotels in North America – from New York to Beverly Hills, from Miami to Maui, but still, when I am asked to name my favourite hotel, The Fairmont Royal York is always the answer I give without a breath of hesitation.

    Royal York diary, Part 5: An Epic night of dining

    by Christopher Heard July 23, 2009
    by Christopher Heard July 23, 2009

    Living in the ever changing, exciting world of the Fairmont Royal York Hotel reminded me that, as familiar with a place you think you may be, it can and does show you constantly that there is more to the place than meets the eye.

    Such was confirmed for me recently on a wonderful evening that begin on the roof of the hotel and ended with a splendid dinner with the hours in between being filled with great company, great food, and lots of hotel talk.
