TORONTO—Accor announced openings, renovations, culinary debuts, and experiences at properties across North and Central America. The year 2023 marks the opening of both Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo Panama and Raffles Boston Back Bay Hotel & Residences, alongside renovations at Fairmont properties, including Fairmont Mayakoba, Fairmont Kea Lani, and Fairmont Banff Springs.
Experiences
This spring, Fairmont is ushering in a series of Beyond LIMITS experiences.

The series will live on in 2023 with the continuation of Fairmont Olympic’s Tea Noir, Fairmont Mayakoba’s Symphony in a Cenote, and more soon-to-be-launched experiences including Fairmont Waterfront’s Enchanted Forest.
Hotel Openings
