Bermuda hurricane damages Fairmont hotels

Canadian hotel chain Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has warned that Hurricane Fabian, the most powerful storm to hit Bermuda in almost 80 years, has seriously damaged two of its properties, the Fairmont Southampton and Fairmont Hamilton Princess.

The roof and a number of bedrooms were so badly damaged that the Southampton will be closed for between two and six months while repairs are carried out. The Hamilton Princess will stay open, but some 25% of its bedrooms sustained water damage.
