SALES NEWSLETTERSPRING 2013

VIEW FROM THE BLEAU

I am happy to introduce Fontainebleau’s digital quarterly newsletter, a brief glimpse at what’sgoing on at the hotel.

Fontainebleau continues to have irresistible market appeal, attracting more guests than ever before. The hotel’s powerful identity hasgenerated a new level of awareness, anticipation and emotion, drivingnew business and creating uncontestable loyalty to the brand.

This winter Fontainebleau unveiled an aggressive national advertising campaign, Famously Fontainebleau, illustrating the timeless appeal of Fontainebleau as a world of experiences, moments, details and design that are modern, sexy and fun-uniquely Fontainebleau. January saw Fontainebleau play host to Alabama’s Crimson Tide football team as they won the coveted Orange Bowl title. Camera crews from around the world descended on the resort, including ABC Good Morning America’s live broadcast from the Ocean Lawn with the winning athletes, watched by over 44,975,279 million viewers. Recently, the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association named Fontainebleau Hotelier of the Year.

Allow Fontainebleau to deliver a unique, luxury experience that exceeds your expectations, with exceptional personal service and unrivaled entertainment and amenities.

See you here soon,

FRAGILE FUTURE CHANDELIER INSTALLED AT TIMELESSLonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta's chandelier creation, Fragile Future, aims to establish a point of balance between information overload and human sensibility. The goal is to create a dialogue between nature and technology, creating a new synergy. The hope is to encourage people to notice things that they no longer notice; to reach some kind of unconscious recognition that everyone instinctively feels and understands, yet have lost the time for. Fragile Future is viewable in Timeless, Fontainebleau’s new jewelry and watch boutique.
