Cool Summer Treats

By all accounts, the summer travel season is shaping up to be a hot one.  Nevertheless, Fairmont wants guests to stay cool on their summer sojourn.  Here are the top 5 ways to chill out at Fairmont this summer:

A delicious twist on a classic awaits guests at Boston's Fairmont Battery Wharf.  The hotel's Boston Cream Pie Semi Freddo is a perfectly chilled confection that takes its inspiration from the chocolate and pastry cream that makes up the city's signature dessert. Pair this with a glass of Prosecco and harbor views at the restaurant's outdoor terrace and you have the perfect way to beat the heat in Beantown.

Pop into these Fairmonts for some adult-only popsicles.  At Fairmont Pittsburgh, guests are sure to take a "licking" to new alcohol infused treats like Peach Sangria Sorbet Push-Ups and Berry Lemonade Vodka Popsicles.  At the Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park, it's Sauvignon Blancsicles and Sagiovesicles dropping the mercury meter at the hotel's eno wine bar. 

Enjoy butler delivered ice-cream in your suite at San Francisco's Fairmont Heritage Place, Ghirardelli Square.  Go big or go home with local favorite The Earthquake, composed of eight scoops of ice cream and finished with eight delicious toppings including fresh bananas, whipped cream, chopped almonds, decadent Ghirardelli chocolate chips and cherries. 

Say aloha to the summer sizzle with a traditional island favorite at The Fairmont Kea Lani in Maui.  The hotel's authentic style shaved ice is different than the brightly-colored syrup many are accustomed to, but guests who have tried it rave about the fresh fruit and mochi ice cream ball.

Scream for ice cream at Fairmont Beijing, The Fairmont Chateau Whistler, and Fairmont Zimbali Lodge this summer. Fairmont Beijing is now whipping up house-made flavors with its Autofrigor GelatoMaker, while The Fairmont Chateau Whistler has introduced a new soft serve station featuring an expansive toppings bar and homemade waffle cones prepared in the Portobello bakery. Even though summer is a cool six months in South Africa, Fairmont Zimbali Lodge is already thinking ahead to its homemade ice cream line-up, which includes flavors like Horlicks, Vanilla Bean, Pistachio Nut, and more.
