Fairmont introduces online music store

Okay, this seems a little out of left field, but Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, in partnership with EMI Music, has introduced Fairmont Music Store, a new online retail initiative that will provide guests access to digital music exclusively from EMI Music’s catalog.

Located at www.fairmontmusicstore.com, the music boutique will be officially launched this spring. Through the new music portal, guests will be able to browse an extensive catalog of music and downloadable songs from top-selling EMI artists such as such as Coldplay, Norah Jones, Keith Urban, Anne Murray and Lenny Kravitz.

As part of this new music initiative, Fairmont will also extend additional benefits to members of its Fairmont President’s Club guest loyalty program, including preferred pricing on digital music, private access to exclusive song downloads and priority access to special events and concerts featuring EMI artists.

The store will initially be available at launch to consumers in Canada and the United States, with a planned roll out to other territories around the world to follow later in the year.
