| The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver? Photo by Sue Frause. |
I did a double take when I spied this sign on The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. The Lamont Hotel? My first thought was that maybe a TV or movie was filming there, renamed The Lamont Hotel.
When I Googled it, turns out that there was a situation comedy on TV for six months in 2003-2004 called Whoopi. Not surprisingly, it starred Whoopi Goldberg, the owner of a small hotel called The Lamont in New York City.
I should have inquired about the mysterious sign at the front desk of The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. If anybody has an explanation, do tell!
Strange. The only thing that I could find is that a Wendy La Mont works for Fairmont. Perhaps it was a surprise birthday or milestone for of some kind and the staff did this as a kind of salute??

I found that, too ... or maybe she got a big promotion, retired, etc.? But it was pretty strange! Thanks for the info :-).
ReplyDeleteI think the sign was there for the season finale of a show called Human Target which is fictionally in San Francisco but filmed in Vancouver.
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks for the info on Human Target. Not familiar with the show; I'll check it out.
