Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, part of the world-leading hospitality group Accor, is setting a new standard in immersive nightlife with its latest concept – Disappearing Bar. True to its name, this exclusive bar emerges briefly in unexpected locations before disappearing to its next destination, leaving behind only memories and a sense of wonder.
The inaugural edition opens in September 2025 at the legendary Fairmont Royal York in Toronto, Canada. Tucked away in a hidden rooftop space normally off-limits to guests, the bar transforms the skyline into its stage. Beneath the glow of the hotel’s iconic neon red sign, guests are invited to indulge in an evening that feels at once secretive and spectacular.
An Intimate Evening Above Toronto
The Disappearing Bar has been designed as a one-hour experience for a select few. With only 20 seats available each evening, exclusivity is at the heart of the event. Guests can expect to be welcomed with handcrafted GREY GOOSE® Vodka martini cocktails, paired with refined dessert bites, while the sounds of live music create a mellow yet celebratory atmosphere.
Elevating the experience even further is Fairmont’s partnership with Devialet, the French audio brand known for its cutting-edge sound technology. Their innovative systems will provide an enveloping soundscape, ensuring that every note and chord feels as exceptional as the setting. Add to this sweeping city views from a rooftop rarely seen by the public, and the result is an intimate gathering that blends sophistication with discovery.
A Nod to History, a Toast to the Future
The price of admission, CAD$96++, pays tribute to Fairmont Royal York’s 96 years of making moments special. Guests may book one of two time slots each evening, at either 7:00 PM or 8:30 PM, across four nights this September: the 17th, 18th, 24th, and 25th. With its limited capacity and once-only appearance, reservations are essential.
Fairmont hotels are social epicentres where communities gather and memories are created. Disappearing Bar activations are another way the chain continues to ‘Make Special Happen’ around the globe.
A Concept Set to Travel the World
After its Toronto debut, Disappearing Bar will not linger. Instead, it will reappear at other Fairmont destinations across the world, each time reimagined in a way that reflects its new home. Guests can look forward to a London edition at The Savoy, a Middle Eastern chapter at Fairmont The Palm in Dubai, and even a pre-opening showcase in Fairmont New Orleans.
Much like Fairmont’s ongoing Make Special Happen campaign, this pop-up bar encapsulates the brand’s promise of turning ordinary nights into extraordinary experiences. Each new iteration will be a fleeting celebration of place, time, and taste – proof that some of life’s best moments are all the more memorable for their impermanence.
Disappearing Bar at Fairmont Royal York will take place on 17, 18, 24 & 25 September 2025. Tickets are available for CAD $96++ per person, with advance reservations required. For more information and bookings, contact the hotel:
