TORONTO, Oct. 26, 2005 - Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Inc. ("FHR" or the "Company") (TSX/NYSE: FHR) today announced its unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. These financial results have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.

Third Quarter 2005 Highlights

        -  Diluted income per share ("diluted EPS") for the third quarter was
           $0.92 compared to $1.66 for the same period in 2004. Excluding the
           effect of hotels sold in 2004, gains on asset sales, tax recovery
           and other non-operating items, diluted EPS rose 37.1% to $0.48.

        -  Revenues increased 15.7% to $240.1 million. Excluding the effect
           on revenues of hotels sold in 2004 and the proceeds from land
           sales, revenues were up 8.9%.

        -  Revenue per available room(1) ("RevPAR") for the comparable(2)
           Fairmont managed portfolio improved 12.3% to $147.63, driven by
           RevPAR growth of 19.3% at the comparable U.S. managed portfolio.
           The Canadian owned hotels experienced RevPAR growth of 7.1%, while
           RevPAR for the comparable International owned hotels declined
           5.8%.

        -  EBITDA(3) for the third quarter was $79.2 million compared to
           $207.7 million for the same period in 2004. EBITDA for both
           periods includes gains on asset sales of $17.9 million and
           $144.2 million, respectively.

        -  Adjusted EBITDA(3) for the third quarter of 2005 was $77.8 million
           compared to $74.3 million for the same period in 2004. Excluding
           the effect of the hotels sold in 2004 and The Fairmont
           Southampton, Adjusted EBITDA increased 9.1%.

        -  Assumed management of and rebranded The Fairmont Newport Beach,
           bringing the number of Fairmont-managed properties to 50
           worldwide.

        -  Expanded development pipeline with a new management contract for a
           Fairmont hotel to be built in downtown Vancouver, in connection
           with an agreement to dispose of the Company's last remaining
           parcel of undeveloped land in Vancouver. The hotel is anticipated
           to open in 2009.

        -  Entered into agreements to sell additional blocks of land located
           in downtown Toronto.

        -  Repurchased 2.1 million common shares for a total cost of
           $65.6 million.

"Our U.S. properties continue to benefit from the robust U.S. lodging fundamentals. In the third quarter, our comparable U.S. managed and owned portfolios experienced RevPAR growth of 19.3% and 20.7%, respectively, driven by strong occupancy gains across all markets," said William R. Fatt, FHR's Chief Executive Officer.

"We continue to execute on our strategy of selling our undeveloped land and expanding our Fairmont management portfolio," commented Mr. Fatt. "The proceeds from these asset sales will be invested in growing our management business and in share repurchases."

Third Quarter Ownership Operations

The Company's hotel ownership results are affected by the seasonal nature of the assets owned. The table below presents, by quarter, the comparable hotel ownership EBITDA contribution by region to September 30, 2005.
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
        2005                        Canada        U.S      International
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
        First quarter                 21%         41%           38%
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
        Second quarter                48%         35%           17%
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
        Third quarter                 84%         10%            6%

    Comparable hotel ownership revenues:

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Comparable revenues        Canada      U.S.   International    Total
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Increase (decrease)
        from third quarter 2004     10.2%     28.1%      (3.8%)        11.6%
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------

        -  Canadian Owned Hotels: Revenues for the Canadian owned hotels were
           impacted by the 8.7% appreciation of the Canadian dollar against
           the U.S. dollar when compared to the third quarter of 2004. The
           balance of the increase was primarily driven by The Fairmont Banff
           Springs, which experienced revenue growth of 12.5% and a 9.5%
           improvement in RevPAR.
        -  U.S. Owned Hotels: Revenue improvements for the U.S. owned hotels
           were largely driven by The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii and The
           Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, which enjoyed RevPAR growth of 32.9%
           and 24.6%, respectively.
        -  International Owned Hotels: The decrease in revenues for the
           International owned hotels was largely due to a 10.0% drop in
           revenues at The Fairmont Hamilton Princess, which experienced a
           13.4% decline in RevPAR.

    Comparable owned portfolio operating statistics:
    ------------------------------------------------

        Increase (decrease)        Canada      U.S.   International    Total
        from third quarter 2004

                                   points    points     points        points
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------

        -  Canadian Owned Hotels: The improvement in ADR is a result of the
           appreciation of the Canadian dollar. Adjusting for the
           appreciation of the Canadian dollar, RevPAR for the Canadian owned
           portfolio was down 1.5%.
        -  U.S. Owned Hotels: The U.S. owned portfolio enjoyed strong
           occupancy growth driven by increased group demand.
        -  International Owned Hotels: The International owned portfolio was
           primarily impacted by a year over year decrease in leisure
           business at The Fairmont Hamilton Princess and the Mexican
           resorts. In the third quarter, the Bermuda market experienced a
           decline in leisure travel largely as a result of concerns
           regarding weather conditions and the cost of airfare. Leisure
           demand for the Mexican resorts was lower mainly due to
           some adverse publicity regarding the destination.

    Comparable hotel ownership EBITDA(3):
    ------------------------------------

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Comparable EBITDA          Canada      U.S.   International    Total
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Increase (decrease) from
        third quarter 2004           5.2%     440.0%     (38.0%)        9.7%
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------

        -  Canadian Owned Hotels: EBITDA for the Canadian owned hotels
           increased $2.1 million to $44.7 million. This increase was
           enhanced by the appreciation of the Canadian dollar, which
           affected both revenues and expenses at these hotels. When
           denominated in Canadian dollars, EBITDA decreased approximately
           3%.
        -  U.S. Owned Hotels: EBITDA for this portfolio was
           $5.4 million in the third quarter, compared to $1.0 million in
           2004. All of the U.S. owned properties contributed to
           this improvement led by The Fairmont Orchid, which experienced a
           14.3 percentage point increase in occupancy and 5.9% improvement
           in ADR. The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess also reported significant
           EBITDA growth as a result of a 14.4 percentage point occupancy
           improvement. The key driver of occupancy expansion at both of
           these hotels was a significant increase in group demand.
        -  International Owned Hotels: EBITDA was down $1.9 million to $3.1
           million. The decrease in EBITDA was driven primarily by weaker
           year over year operating performance at The Fairmont Hamilton
           Princess. This property experienced a 44.9% decline in EBITDA,
           primarily as a result of a 9.5 percentage point drop in occupancy.
           Additionally, the Mexican resorts experienced a 19% decrease in
           EBITDA driven by a 2.6 percentage point drop in occupancy.

    Comparable hotel ownership EBITDA margin:
    ----------------------------------------

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Comparable EBITDA margin   Canada      U.S.   International    Total
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Increase (decrease) from
        third quarter 2004         (210bp)    980bp      (680bp)       (60bp)
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------

        -  Canadian Owned Hotels: EBITDA margins for the Canadian owned
           hotels decreased as revenues were negatively impacted by
           a 1.0 percentage point decrease in occupancy and flat ADR
           (after adjusting for the foreign exchange impact). When
           denominated in Canadian dollars, revenues increased 1.4% while
           expenses increased approximately 5%.
        -  U.S. Owned Hotels: Robust RevPAR growth of 20.7% was
           the key driver of EBITDA margin improvement for this portfolio.
        -  International Owned Hotels: The International owned portfolio
           experienced a decline in EBITDA margins due to a 3.8% drop in
           revenues and 4.3% increase in expenses. The decrease in revenues
           was primarily due to The Fairmont Hamilton Princess. The increase
           in expenses was related primarily to the Mexican resorts, which
           due to the low occupancy were already at minimum staffing levels
           and in addition, were negatively impacted by the 6.7% year over
           year appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar.

Real estate activities: Real estate activities in the third quarter produced revenues of $19.3 million and a $15.7 million contribution to EBITDA. This was generated primarily by a land sale in Vancouver, which yielded net proceeds and an after-tax gain of $17.9 million. Real estate activities for the same period in 2004, primarily from Fairmont Heritage Place, generated $4.8 million in revenues and a $0.8 million loss to EBITDA.

                                               points      points
        -------------------------------------------------------------

    Fairmont Management Operations
        -  Revenues under management of $511 million increased 12.4% over
           2004. The addition of The Savoy, A Fairmont Hotel, The Fairmont
           Monte Carlo, The Fairmont Newport Beach, five hotels in Kenya and
           improved operating results at the U.S. hotels, all contributed to
           this increase.
        -  Management fee revenues were up 19.1% to $16.8 million, largely
           due to the increase in revenues under management.
        -  EBITDA margin of 81.0% was virtually flat compared to the prior
           year.
        -  For the Fairmont comparable managed portfolio, RevPAR increased
           12.3% to $147.63. RevPAR for the comparable U.S. portfolio showed
           strong improvement up 19.3%, resulting from a 5.2% increase in ADR
           combined with an occupancy gain of 8.6 percentage points. The
           International comparable managed portfolio experienced RevPAR
           growth of 7.5%, based on ADR improvement of 19.6% offset by an
           occupancy drop of 5.9 percentage points. The Canadian comparable
           portfolio reported an 8.5% RevPAR improvement, driven primarily by
           an increase in ADR of 6.7% while occupancy improved 1.3 percentage
           points. Adjusting for the appreciation of the Canadian dollar,
           RevPAR for the Canadian portfolio was relatively unchanged for the
           quarter.

    Delta Management Operations
        -  Delta's revenues under management increased 17.7% to $125 million,
           primarily due to improved operating results and the appreciation
           of the Canadian dollar.
        -  Management fee revenues for the third quarter were $4.0 million
           compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2004. The 14.3%
           increase in management fee revenues relates primarily to the
           increase in revenues under management.
        -  EBITDA margin of 77.5% improved from 54.3% in the prior year,
           primarily due to a decrease in incentive compensation costs for
           the third quarter of 2005.
        -  RevPAR increased 15.4% over the third quarter of 2004 resulting
           from an 11.3% ADR growth and a 2.8 percentage point improvement in
           occupancy. Adjusting for the appreciation of the Canadian dollar,
           RevPAR was up approximately 6.2%.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the quarter were $3.8 million compared to $8.4 million for the same period in 2004. Stock appreciation rights for the quarter amounted to a recovery of $3.2 million, primarily due to certain obligations which have been extinguished, compared to an expense of $0.5 million in 2004. Notwithstanding the appreciation of the Canadian dollar, which had the effect of increasing expenses, general and administrative expenses were lower by approximately 11%, after adjusting for impact of stock appreciation rights in both quarters.

Other expenses

During the third quarter, the Company recorded a provision of $11.2 million related to a potential loss in connection with outstanding legal obligations associated with a predecessor company of Fairmont.

Income tax expense (recovery)

Earlier in the year, FHR reached a settlement with Canadian tax authorities and in the third quarter recorded a $26.1 million tax recovery to reflect the final assessment. Excluding one-time items, the effective tax rate for the third quarter was 27%, compared to 28% in 2004. Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2004 includes $40.7 million of income tax expense relating to the sale of The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui.

Nine Months Consolidated Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, EBITDA was $148.6 million compared to $304.3 million for the same period in 2004. EBITDA for both periods includes gains on asset sales of $17.9 million and $159.6 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was $171.4 million compared to $175.3 million for the same period in 2004. Excluding the two hotels sold and The Fairmont Southampton, which was closed for hurricane repairs during the first quarter of 2004, Adjusted EBITDA increased 10.7% from $145.2 million to $160.8 million.
Net income for the first nine months of the year was $99.1 million (diluted EPS of $1.30), compared to the prior year's net income of $160.2 million (diluted EPS of $2.01). Excluding the impact of sold hotels, gains on asset sales, other non-operating items and the tax recovery, diluted EPS increased 44.9% from $0.49 to $0.71.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, totaled $11 million and $51 million, respectively. The Company expects its 2005 hotel related capital budget to be in the range of approximately $55 - $65 million, the majority of which is expected to be spent on maintenance projects.

Announcements and Corporate Activities

The Fairmont New Orleans experienced significant damage following the impact of Hurricane Katrina. Fortunately, the Company did not experience any guest or employee casualties at the hotel from this tragic incident. The hotel is currently closed and FHR is working closely with the property owner and insurers. The financial impact of this event is not expected to be material to FHR as the Company does not have an ownership interest in the hotel.

In the third quarter, FHR assumed management of and rebranded The Fairmont Newport Beach, a 444-room hotel in Newport Beach, California. A comprehensive renovation of the hotel's guestrooms, public areas and facilities is underway, and is expected to be completed in mid-2006.

In July, FHR sold a parcel of land in Vancouver for net proceeds and an after-tax gain of $17.9 million.

In September, FHR announced it had entered into a purchase and sale agreement for its last block of undeveloped land located in Coal Harbour in downtown Vancouver. Westbank, a Vancouver-based developer, has agreed to purchase the land from a joint venture 75% owned by FHR. Westbank plans to develop a hotel and residential condominium project on the site. FHR also entered into a long-term agreement to manage the hotel, which is anticipated to open in 2009. The land sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2006.

The Company has also recently entered into separate agreements to sell additional blocks of undeveloped land located in the Southtown lands in downtown Toronto. These sales are expected to close over the next several quarters.

During the quarter, FHR repurchased 2.1 million shares under its normal course issuer bid for a total cost of $65.6 million. For the first nine months of the year, FHR has repurchased 3.9 million shares at a cost of $126.3 million.

Outlook

"We expect that our U.S. hotels will continue to benefit from strong industry fundamentals and perform to our original expectations," said Mr. Fatt. "Although we experienced some weakness in our international portfolio in the third quarter, we anticipate that these hotels will experience modest year over year growth in the fourth quarter. Our Canadian portfolio is expected to continue to perform within our revised expectations."

FHR now expects EBITDA for the full-year to be $165 million to $175 million. 2005 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $195 million to $205 million.

    A summary of the Company's current estimates are as follows:

                                                         Full-year 2005
                                                         --------------
    EBITDA                                         $165 to $175 million
    Adjusted EBITDA                                $195 to $205 million
    Net Income                                      $93 to $100 million
    Diluted EPS                                          $1.21 to $1.30
    Diluted EPS excluding gains on land sales,
    tax recoveries and other non-operating expenses      $0.67 to $0.76

Excluding the tax recovery, the legal provision and the land sale gain, FHR has assumed a 2005 full-year tax rate of approximately 29%.
FHR has provided its 2005 portfolio seasonality information under "Supplementary Financial and Operating Information".

                       Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Inc.
                 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
              (Stated in millions of U.S. dollars) (Unaudited)

    1.  Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Inc. ("FHR" or the "Company") has operated
        and owned hotels and resorts for over 118 years and currently manages
        properties, principally under the Fairmont and Delta brands. As at
        September 30, 2005, FHR managed or franchised 88 luxury and
        first-class hotels. FHR owns Fairmont Hotels Inc. ("Fairmont") which,
        as at September 30, 2005, managed 50 luxury properties in major city
        centers and key resort destinations throughout Canada, the United
        States, Mexico, Bermuda, Barbados, United Kingdom, Monaco, Kenya and
        the United Arab Emirates. Delta Hotels Limited ("Delta"), a
        wholly-owned subsidiary of FHR, managed or franchised 38 Canadian
        hotels and resorts as at September 30, 2005.

        In addition to hotel and resort management, as at September 30, 2005,
        FHR had hotel ownership interests ranging from approximately 15% to
        100% in 27 properties, located in Canada, the United States, Mexico,
        Bermuda, Barbados, Monaco, Kenya and the United Arab Emirates. FHR
        also has an approximate 24% equity interest in Legacy Hotels Real
        Estate Investment Trust ("Legacy") as at September 30, 2005, which
        owns 24 hotels and resorts across Canada and the United States. FHR
        also owns real estate properties that are suitable for either
        commercial or residential development, and has a vacation ownership
        product.

        Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 are
        not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
        the full year due to seasonal and short-term variations. Revenues are
        typically higher in the second and third quarters versus the first
        and fourth quarters of the year. The income tax rate is also higher
        in the first quarter as hotels in non-taxable jurisdictions typically
        generate losses and certain equity investments usually produce losses
        without tax benefits.

    2.  These interim consolidated financial statements do not include all
        disclosures as required by Canadian generally accepted accounting
        principles ("GAAP") for annual consolidated financial statements and
        should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
        statements for the year ended December 31, 2004. The accounting
        policies used in the preparation of these interim consolidated
        financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies used
        in the December 31, 2004 audited consolidated financial statements,
        except as discussed below.

        Liabilities and equity
        On January 1, 2005, FHR adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered
        Accountants' ("CICA") new accounting requirements on the
        classification of financial instruments as liabilities or equity. The
        CICA amended its disclosure requirements surrounding the presentation
        of financial instruments that may be settled in cash or by an
        issuer's own equity instruments, at the issuer's discretion, as
        liabilities. Adoption of this new standard did not have an impact on
        the Company's financial statements.

        Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease
        In 2004, the Emerging Issues Committee issued Abstract 150,
        "Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease" ("EIC 150"). An
        entity may enter into certain arrangements comprising a transaction
        or a series of related transactions that does not take the legal form
        of a lease but conveys a right to use a tangible asset (e.g., an item
        of property, plant or equipment) in return for a payment or series of
        payments. The Company is required to adopt the recommendations of EIC
        150 for affected transactions commencing December 9, 2004. Adoption
        of this new standard did not have an impact on the Company's
        financial statements.

        Variable interest entities
        Effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted Accounting Guideline
        No. 15, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("AcG-15"),
        which established criteria to identify variable interest entities
        ("VIE") and the primary beneficiary of such entities. Entities that
        qualify as VIEs must be consolidated by their primary beneficiary.
        Adoption of this new standard did not have an impact on the Company's
        financial statements.

    3.  In May 2005, FHR entered into long-term contracts to manage five
        properties in Kenya. FHR invested $10.0 in connection with the five
        management contracts. A portion of the investment was funded as a
        loan and a portion of the investment financed the acquisition of an
        approximate 15% interest in a corporation owned jointly with Kingdom
        Hotels Investments and IFA Hotels & Resorts. The corporation holds an
        ownership interest in five Kenyan properties known as The Norfolk
        Hotel, Mount Kenya Safari Club, The Aberdare Country Club, The Ark
        and the Mara Safari Club. Based on the relative fair value of the
        management contracts, the investment interest and the loan, $5.7 of
        the $10.0 was allocated to the management contracts. The investment
        of $3.1 is accounted for using the equity method due to significant
        influence through contractual arrangements. $1.2 was allocated to the
        loan, which has a face value of $5.0, bears no interest and is
        payable in 2020.

    4.  In January 2005, FHR entered into a long-term contract to manage The
        Savoy in London, England. In 2004, FHR agreed to commit approximately
        $63.0 to obtain the management contract and provide loans to the
        hotel's owners. As at September 30, 2005, FHR had funded $54.3 of the
        total commitment, of which $22.8 related to the management contract,
        and $31.5 related to a loan receivable, due in 2015 and bearing
        interest at 7.75%.

    5.  In the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company reached a favorable
        tax settlement with the Canada Revenue Agency and recorded a $14.6
        recovery of current income taxes. During the quarter ended
        September 30, 2005, the Company recorded an additional tax recovery
        of $26.1, net of taxes payable of approximately $2.1 on interest
        income, to reflect the final assessment.

    6.  In July 2005, FHR disposed of a parcel of land in Vancouver for net
        proceeds and an after-tax gain of $17.9.

    7.  In July 2005, FHR entered into a long-term management contract
        related to The Fairmont Newport Beach. FHR invested $3.3 in
        connection with this transaction.

        Effective October 29, 2004, FHR may repurchase for cancellation up to
        10% of its outstanding common shares. The amounts and timing of
        repurchases are at FHR's discretion. During the nine months ended
        September 30, 2005, FHR repurchased 3,925,600 shares (2,076,300
        during the third quarter). Also, an additional 166,100 shares that
        were classified as treasury stock at December 31, 2004, were
        cancelled in 2005. Total consideration relating to the repurchase
        amounted to $126.3 ($65.6 for the third quarter), of which $59.0 was
        charged to common shares ($31.1 for the third quarter) and $67.3 was
        charged to retained earnings ($34.5 for the third quarter). Of the
        $5.6 of treasury stock outstanding at December 31, 2004, $2.6 was
        reclassified to common shares and $3.0 to retained earnings in 2005.
        During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, FHR issued 146,690
        shares (6,637 for the third quarter) pursuant to the Key Employee
        Stock Option Plan for which $2.9 was credited to common shares
        ($0.1 for the third quarter) for proceeds from options exercised. At
        September 30, 2005, 72,448,338 common shares were outstanding
        (December 31, 2004 - 76,393,348).

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, 320,000 stock
        options were granted (20,000 in the third quarter), and the cost of
        this stock-based compensation was recorded based on the estimated
        fair value of these options. Assuming FHR elected to recognize the
        cost of its stock-based compensation based on the estimated fair
        value of stock options granted after January 1, 2002 but before
        January 1, 2003, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share

    10. Segmented Information

        FHR has five reportable segments in two core business activities,
        ownership and management operations. The segments are hotel
        ownership, investment in Legacy, real estate activities, Fairmont and
        Delta. Results of individual properties have been aggregated into
        their respective reportable segments. Hotel ownership consists of
        real estate interests ranging from approximately 15% to 100% in
        27 properties. The investment in Legacy consists of an approximate
        24% equity interest in Legacy, which owns 24 hotels and resorts
        across Canada and the United States. Real estate activities consist
        primarily of two undeveloped land blocks in Toronto and Vancouver and
        a vacation ownership product. Fairmont is an international luxury
        hotel and resort management company and Delta is a Canadian
        first-class hotel and resort management company.

        The performance of all segments is evaluated by management primarily
        on earnings before interest, taxes and amortization ("EBITDA"), which
        management defines as income before interest, income taxes and
        amortization. EBITDA includes income or loss from equity investments.
        General and administrative expenses, other, gain on sales of
        investments and hotel assets, amortization, interest and income taxes
        are not allocated to the individual segments. All transactions among
        operating segments are conducted at fair market value.

        The following tables present revenues, EBITDA, total assets and
        capital expenditures for FHR's reportable segments:

    Notes:

      (1)  Given the seasonality of FHR's portfolio, the information above
           provides insight into the estimated quarterly breakdown of FHR's
           Adjusted EBITDA.
      (2)  The tax rate will be dependent upon the geographical source of
           earnings in any one quarter. Quarterly tax rates vary
           significantly throughout the year due to the seasonality of FHR's
           earnings and differing tax rates in various jurisdictions. In the
           first quarter, FHR's hotels in non-taxable jurisdictions typically
           generate losses and equity investments usually produce non-taxable
           losses. This results in an unusual income tax rate in the first
           quarter.

    Assumptions:
          -  The estimates above are based on the current portfolio and do
             not anticipate any acquisitions or dispositions.
          -  An exchange rate of C$1.25/U.S.$1.00 has been assumed for the
             year.
          -  Readers should note that the above information is qualified by
             the forward-looking statement outlined in the Company's public
             filings.

    (1)  Includes hotels owned by Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Inc.
 
 

    1.  Revenue per available room ("RevPAR") is calculated as room revenue
        divided by the number of room nights available. Management considers
        RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of hotel operations because it
        measures the period-over-period change in room revenues relative to
        the number of room nights available. Investors and analysts also use
        it as a measure of the Company's operating performance. However,
        RevPAR is not a defined measure of operating performance under
        Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). It is
        likely that FHR's calculation of RevPAR is different than the
        calculations used by others.

    2.  Comparable information is considered to be information for properties
        that were wholly-owned or fully open under FHR management for at
        least the entire current and prior year. Comparable information also
        excludes properties under major renovation that would have a
        significant adverse effect on the properties' primary operations. We
        present these results on a comparable basis because we believe that
        doing so provides investors and management with useful information
        for evaluating the period-to-period performance of our hotels. When
        presenting comparable information for this quarter, the following
        properties have been excluded:

           Owned hotels
           ------------
           -  The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui (sold July 2004)
           -  The Fairmont Glitter Bay (sold July 2004)
           -  The Fairmont Southampton (reopened April 2004 after hurricane
              damage repairs)

           Fairmont Managed Hotels
           -----------------------
           -  The Fairmont Southampton (reopened April 2004 after hurricane
              damage repairs)
           -  The Fairmont Monte Carlo (assumed management December 2004)
           -  The Savoy, A Fairmont Hotel (assumed management January 2005)
           -  The Plaza (ceased management April 2005)
           -  The Norfolk Hotel, Mount Kenya Safari Club, The Aberdare
              Country Club, The Ark and the Mara Safari Club (assumed
              management May 2005)
           -  The Fairmont Glitter Bay (ceased management in June 2005)
           -  The Fairmont Newport Beach (assumed management July 2005)
           -  The Fairmont New Orleans (closed in September 2005 due to
              hurricane damage)

           Delta Managed Hotels
           --------------------
           Delta Meadowvale (assumed management September 2004)
           Delta Kitchener (assumed management June 2005)
           Delta franchised properties

    3.  EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes and
        amortization. Management considers EBITDA to be a meaningful
        indicator of operations and uses it as the primary measure to assess
        the operating performance of the Company's business segments. EBITDA
        provides us with an understanding of the Company's operating results
        before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income
        taxes. It also facilitates comparisons between the Company and its
        competitors.

        Management adjusts EBITDA when evaluating operating performance
        because it believes that the inclusion or exclusion of certain items
        such as gains and losses on asset sales and other non-operating
        items, is necessary to provide a more accurate measure of our core
        business operating results. It is also a means to evaluate period-
        over-period results. We adjust our reported EBITDA, as set forth
        above, for certain items and refer to this measure as Adjusted
        EBITDA. The principal adjustments we make are to eliminate (i) gains
        and losses from asset sales; (ii) amortization, net interest expense
        and income taxes in calculating our earnings from equity investments
        and (iii) other non-operating items.

        We have chosen to provide this information to investors to enable
        them to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and
        future core business operating results. Adjusted EBITDA may also be
        used by investors and analysts in their valuation of the Company.

        EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined measures of operating
        performance under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
        It is likely that FHR's calculations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
        are different than the calculations used by others.

        The table below provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and
        EBITDA to net income:
