Points this record cannot yet settle, with the sources on each side. Both readings are published rather than one being chosen quietly. 1 question has since been settled; each is listed with its ruling.

Should Ennismore-run brands record Ennismore or Accor as the company behind the brand?

  • Ennismore runs the brandEnnismore's own site lists its family of brands as 21c Museum Hotels, 25hours, Delano, Gleneagles, Hyde, JO&JOE, Mama Shelter, Mondrian, Morgans Originals, SLS, SO/, The Hoxton, TRIBE and Working From_. SLS and Mondrian are on that list.source ↗
  • Accor owns the majority of EnnismoreEnnismore is the joint venture that holds Accor's lifestyle portfolio, majority-owned by Accor with founder Sharan Pasricha holding a substantial minority position. It is a distinct company, not a division label.source ↗
  • Fairmont, MGallery and Faena are not Ennismore brandsNone appears on Ennismore's brand list, so those three record Accor as the company behind the brand. Raffles likewise. The split is not a judgement call — it follows Ennismore's own published roster.source ↗

ResolvedThe record names the company that runs the brand, and the company above it is recorded separately. SLS and Mondrian record Ennismore; Fairmont, Fairmont Heritage Place, MGallery and Faena record Accor. Both roll up to the Accor group, so the national view aggregates correctly while the Ennismore layer stays visible. Los Cabos was corrected in the same pass: Delano is on Ennismore's published brand list and now records Ennismore, not Accor. Raffles is not an Ennismore brand and is unchanged.

When the Fairmont Residences buildings were handed over, as distinct from the hotel they flank.

  • September 2012, the date recordedA tracker page for Fairmont The Palm Hotel & Resort gives "Construction began in February 2007. The project was completed in Sep 2012." It is a page about the hotel building, and both Palm Fairmont records currently take their handover from it.source ↗
  • 2009, for the separate residence buildingsA listing page for the residences gives "Date of completion: 2009" against 558 units and IFA Hotels and Resorts as developer. Accor's own page separates the two structures — "Fairmont The Palm, which opened in 2012, comprises of 391 guest rooms and suites and 10 Fairmont Heritage Place Residences within the main Hotel building. Located in a separate buildings on either side are" the Fairmont Residences — so the 2012 belongs to the building holding the ten Heritage Place homes, which this register records separately.source ↗
