FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS INC. ANNOUNCES GROUNDBREAKING OF
THE FAIRMONT COCO BEACH RESORT IN PUERTO RICO

- Fairmont to Manage New Resort Set to Open Late 2005 -

TORONTO, June 5, 2003 – Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Inc. (“FHR”) (TSX/NYSE: FHR) today announced that the company has entered into an agreement with Betteroads Asphalt Corporation (“Betteroads”) to manage a new $152 million, 416-room resort on Puerto Rico’s Rio Grande, 25 miles east of San Juan. In acquiring the long-term management contract, FHR will also invest approximately $9.5 million for a minority equity interest in the property at the time of its opening.

Hotel Development Corporation and Tourism Development Fund, both Puerto Rican government entities, are investment participants in this project. FHR has the option to participate in the development of a vacation ownership property on a 20-acre parcel of land adjacent to the resort.

Construction of the resort is to begin in the fall of 2003, with a projected opening for late 2005. The Fairmont Coco Beach Resort will consist of 416 guestrooms including villas, 30,000 square feet of meeting space, a 12,000 square foot Willow Stream spa and a 6,000 square foot amenity casino. Guests will have access to 36 holes of golf located within the resort. This property will expand Fairmont Hotels & Resorts’ collection to 42 properties in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, Bermuda and the United Arab Emirates.

“FHR has been actively seeking strategic growth opportunities to increase its luxury portfolio,” comments William R. Fatt, chief executive officer of FHR. “Our portfolio has a significant resort component and this project allows us to build on our presence in the Caribbean, in a desirable tourism destination. In addition, the resort provides us an opportunity to expand Willow Stream, Fairmont’s spa brand.” Mr. Fatt continued, “The Fairmont Coco Beach Resort will be an excellent complement to Fairmont’s portfolio, both for leisure and business guests.”
