Fairmont Buys Sonoma Mission Inn

SONOMA, Calif.

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has bought the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa.

Fairmont, which has been managing the property since 2002, said that the purchase is part of a larger company strategy of strategic acquisitions at a time when many hotel management companies are taking an opposite asset light approach.

“The timing and circumstances presented a very attractive opportunity for us to purchase The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn as part of a direction of our company to support strategic acquisition opportunities,” said Mike Taylor, Fairmont’s director of public relations. “In pursuit of strategic expansion for the brand, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts will seek to increase its portfolio distribution by capitalizing on the increasing opportunities that exist in today’s marketplace.”

Taylor said no new renovations are planned for the property.
