Recently visited the Fairmont Orchid with my family.  A large consulting firm had taken over the hotel (signs everwhere).  The management clearly were not concerned about those trying to have a relaxing vacation as events took place outside our balcony almost ever night.  This was a learning experience for me, and I will never book a chain hotel like Fairmont or Starwood when spending my own money. We moved over to the hotel next door (Mauna Lani) for the last 3 nights as we were so upset with the Orchid.  The last 3 nights were the best part of the vacation.  very relaxing and the money was well spent.
