FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS UNVEILS NEW GLOBAL CAMPAIGN  
“WELLNESS WITHOUT WALLS” FEATURING KYLIAN MBAPPÉ AS ITS AMBASSADOR 
  
DUBAI, UAE – April 16th, 2026 - Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, the global luxury hospitality brand, today unveils "Wellness Without Walls,” a landmark global campaign that redefines well-being beyond the confines of a traditional gym or spa, featuring world-renowned footballer Kylian Mbappé as Fairmont's first ever Wellness Ambassador. Fairmont is debuting a cinematic brand film that brings this unbound vision to life through the lens of one of the world's most recognizable athletes, an individual whose own approach to performance, recovery, and longevity mirrors Fairmont's philosophy. 
 
“Fairmont offers an authentic commitment to wellness in each of its locations, which is why I am eager to partner with them,” said Kylian Mbappé. “As an athlete, recovery and balance are crucial, and I experience this commitment during every stay. With Fairmont, it's possible to maintain your routine - even when traveling - without feeling forced.” 
 
The brand’s new philosophy, conveyed in the campaign, reflects a broader expectation that wellness should be present, relevant, and easy to access for all. Along with the new premium Nike gear lending program, Fairmont offers travelers a breadth of well-being experiences while embracing the incredible destinations, cultures and communities in which they reside.   
 
Claudia Kozma Kaplan, Chief Brand Officer, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, said, “Fairmont is thrilled to partner with Kylian Mbappé as the brand embarks on a systemic shift on how it delivers wellness. Today’s luxury hotel guests are increasingly more aware of how they feel, how they perform, and how they recover. They are not always looking for high intensity or prescriptive programs, but for experiences that help them stay well and make better use of their time. The new campaign’s ‘No Excuses’ tagline is inspired by Fairmont’s promise that guests can effortlessly maintain their well-being routine while traveling, however they personally define it, be it for a guest with the discipline of an elite-athlete or someone who prefers a more leisurely amble by bicycle with friends.” 
 
Fairmont, a participating brand in ALL Accor, brings this concept to life across its diverse portfolio through a curated collection of experiences, services, and touchpoints that immerse guests in a seamless well-being journey from the moment they arrive, including offerings as wide ranging as cold immersion at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise; forest therapy at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge; hydrotherapy at Fairmont La Hacienda, Costa del Sol; paddleboarding near Fairmont Austin; copal cleansing at Fairmont Mayakoba; badminton or cricket at Fairmont Udaipur Palace; and an elevated bathhouse experience at Fairmont Hanoi. 
 
Emma Darby, Global Vice President Spa & Wellness, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts adds, “Travel is no longer just a break. It is an opportunity to maintain rhythm, restore balance, and experience something that supports how our guests live. The world does not need more wellness spaces, it needs more space to be well. This coupled with experiences that only Fairmont can deliver, is redefining what wellness at Fairmont truly means.”  
 
“Wellness Without Walls” represents Fairmont’s long-term commitment to elevating wellness across its global portfolio. The brand will continue to grow and evolve its offerings, introducing new experiences, partnerships, and expressions of this philosophy that believes every guest deserves to feel their very best, wherever in the world they are.
