Fairmont Raffles Hotels International (FRHI) is a Toronto, Canada based hotel chain owned by Voyager Partners, Kingdom Hotels and Los Angeles based Colony Capital, LLC.
The group was formed in January 2006, when Kingdom and Colony entered into a joint venture. Through that partnership the two groups acquired Fairmont Hotels and Resorts and combined Fairmont's business with Colony owned Raffles Hotels International. Voyager Partners subsequently acquired a majority interest in FRHI in April 2010. The parent company now manages three brands of hotels under their arm, Raffles, Fairmont and Swissôtel with over 100 hotels and resorts in 30 countries worldwide.
The company also owned Delta Hotels at one point but sold the Canadian based hotel management company in October 2007 to bcIMC (B.C. Investment Management Corporation), a Crown Corporation.

Famous quotes containing the word hotels:
“Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. What previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
