Amid the dazzling array of global hospitality giants at Arabian Travel Market 2025, one brand stands out for its heart, humanity, and powerful message of transformation—Fairmont Riyadh. Led by Stéphanie Timsit, Director of Operations and Acting General Manager, the hotel is not just redefining luxury but elevating what it truly means to be inclusive, welcoming, and empowering.
At the heart of Fairmont’s presence at ATM 2025 is a powerful narrative—luxury for everyone. In an industry historically defined by exclusivity, velvet ropes, and selective service, Fairmont turns that outdated model on its head. Stéphanie’s approach is clear and refreshing: everyone deserves to feel valued, no matter who they are or where they come from.
Inclusive Luxury That Embraces Humanity
Timsit describes Fairmont’s hospitality as “inclusive luxury.” Unlike traditional luxury brands that often size up their guests on arrival, Fairmont welcomes everyone with equal warmth and respect. The ethos is simple: make everyone feel at home. This universal hospitality is rare and deeply appreciated in today’s evolving global travel landscape.
It’s not just marketing—it’s a lived experience at Fairmont Riyadh, where every guest is treated with care and authenticity. Whether it’s a visiting diplomat, a business traveler, or a family on holiday, Fairmont ensures that every stay is meaningful.
Leading with Empowerment
But Fairmont Riyadh’s story at ATM 2025 goes even deeper. It’s a story of leadership, empowerment, and national transformation.
As a woman in a senior leadership position in Saudi Arabia, Stéphanie represents the very spirit of Vision 2030—a national initiative driving social and economic reform, including greater roles for women across industries.
Timsit proudly shares that Fairmont doesn’t just talk about empowerment—it practices it daily. Women are growing, thriving, and leading in roles they once only dreamed of. And for Timsit, both personally and professionally, this is deeply fulfilling. Every day brings opportunities to inspire, mentor, and transform lives.
Fairmont at ATM: Standing Tall Among Giants
With over 2,800 global exhibitors at ATM 2025, Fairmont could have easily been overshadowed. But its strength lies in its difference. Fairmont doesn’t compete with flash—it competes with authenticity, human connection, and emotional intelligence.
According to Timsit, Fairmont’s presence at ATM is not just justified—it’s vital. As the travel world becomes more complex, travelers are craving something deeper than polished lobbies and five-star amenities. They want to be seen. They want to be cared for. Fairmont answers that call—every single time.
Saudi Arabia’s Hospitality Renaissance
Saudi Arabia is undergoing a tourism renaissance, and Fairmont Riyadh is proudly at the forefront. With rapid infrastructure development, new hotel openings, and increasing international arrivals, the Kingdom is no longer just a business hub—it’s a tourism destination.
Fairmont Riyadh exemplifies this evolution. Located in the capital, the hotel blends world-class service with the rich cultural warmth of Saudi hospitality. Guests not only experience five-star comfort but also gain a deeper connection to the culture, people, and spirit of the region.
As Timsit puts it, this is a vibrant, exciting time to visit Saudi Arabia. It’s not just about conferences and business meetings anymore—it’s about discovery, leisure, and authentic experiences.
A Personal Invitation
As the conversation wraps up, Timsit extends a heartfelt invitation to all: come to Fairmont Riyadh not just for business, but for pleasure. The city is changing. The country is opening up. And Fairmont offers the perfect gateway to see this transformation firsthand.
For those who haven’t yet visited, this isn’t just a travel tip—it’s a must. In a world often dominated by impersonal transactions, Fairmont offers something rare: genuine connection, true hospitality, and purposeful leadership.
Why Fairmont Riyadh Leads the New Era of Travel
As global hospitality evolves post-pandemic, brands must decide how they stay relevant. Fairmont’s answer is clear: lead with love, respect, and inclusivity.
At ATM 2025, Fairmont proves that you don’t need to shout to be seen. By staying true to its values and leading with purpose, it continues to rise—respected, admired, and trusted by guests across the globe.
Fairmont Riyadh is not just a hotel—it’s a movement. A movement toward human-centered hospitality. A movement toward equality. A movement toward a better future in travel.
