For Valentine's Commission Your Own Artwork
This February, give a unique and memorable artistic experience. Available throughout the month, guests are invited to enjoy an experience featuring custom portrait commissions by Quibe, a Paris-based contemporary line artist, in collaboration with Mansion of Art.
Couples, friends and solo guests may choose to commission a personalized portrait, either a romantic kissing pose or a solo illustration, created by the artist in Paris and shipped directly to the buyer. With two size options available, portraits are priced between $800–$1,200 and are offered as a celebratory enhancement with no obligation to purchase.
This thoughtfully curated experience transforms into a lasting, collectible memory, blending romance, artistry, and storytelling in a way that reflects Fairmont’s commitment to meaningful, one-of-a-kind moments.
Art Hour
Art Hour is a relaxed weekly social experience that blends art, conversation and cocktails in an inviting gallery setting. Beginning at the Lobby Lounge, guests are welcome to come to the gallery, allowing the space to become a natural extension of the Lobby’s lively social flow. This casual, come-and-go event encourages guests to explore the artwork at their own pace.
A gallerist is present throughout the evening for light, informal conversation. Stop by for a quick drink or stay to discuss the finer details behind the art. Art Hour offers a fresh way to unwind and engage with art in a social, welcoming atmosphere.
Saturdays at 4:00 pm in the Lobby Lounge
