The Fairmont Newfoundland stands on the site of Fort William where British troops were stationed in the early 17th century. A national historic marker on a retaining wall in Cavendish Square, where the hotel is located, tells of the battles that were fought here. The Fairmont Newfoundland was built in 1982 on the site of the first Hotel Newfoundland, which opened its doors on "the rock", as St. John's, Newfoundland is referred to, in 1926. The elegant hotel lobby leads to, and overlooks, a spacious atrium called the Court Garden, which is filled with a wide variety of trees and plants. A waterfall flows from the entrance of the Narrows Quiet Bar to the atrium below. Guests can sip a drink and enjoy the piano in the Court Garden, or listen from above. The old hotel played an important role in the development of St. John's and Newfoundland as a whole, playing host to visitors from near and far. The old hotel had, in fact, barely been open when it hosted its first meeting, the Newfoundland Medical Convention, in 1926. The Fairmont Newfoundland continues to carry this tradition of friendly hospitality into the future. Located in Cavendish Square off Duckworth Street, in the heart of St. John's. The Fairmont Newfoundland is boasts breathtaking views of the harbour, Signal Hill and the historic city centre. The hotel staff provides the warm hospitality that Newfoundlanders are famous for. With an elegant atrium and indoor waterfall, the hotel captures the charm and warmth of Atlantic Canada.
