I am a big fan of luxury hotels and an even bigger fan of music so the announcement that Abbey Road Studios would be partnering up with Fairmont Hotels and Resorts was very exciting. As part of the partnership, guests of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts will have the chance to experience once-in-a-lifetime opportunities from behind-the-scenes studio visits to recording a song at Abbey Road Studios, as well as exclusive discounts and offers on Abbey Road products and services.

The partnership extends Fairmont’s relationship with EMI Music, the owners of the Studios, which already makes possible guest access to bestselling EMI artists through a variety of channels including the luxury hotel brand’s “Sounds of Fairmont” program – where new and emerging artists perform live at select properties around the world. One of the first elements of the new partnership is collaboration between Abbey Road Studios and The Savoy, a Fairmont managed hotel.  Following up on the most ambitious hotel restoration in British history in late 2010, the team at The Savoy are working closely with Abbey Road on a refurbishment of the Studios’ lounges.  The project aims to bring The Savoy’s style, luxury and timeless elegance to the Studios.

To celebrate the collaboration of these wonderful brands I joined a crowd of guests for a cocktail party at Abbey Road, with delicious canapes and champagne beforehand at The Savoy. Jessie Ware played a set featuring tracks from her new album whilst we admired our iconic surroundings. It was a brilliant night showcasing how well suited these famous brands are… I can’t wait to see and hear what comes next.
