"The historic Fairmont Hotel always does it big for the holidays — and we mean that literally. The hotel has a 22-foot-high, 23-foot-wide two-story Victorian gingerbread house on display made from “thousands of bricks, a ton of royal icing, and candy décor,” according to the hotel’s website. It’s on show from Saturday, November 23 through the holiday season, and if you want to really soak it all in, you can even book a reservation to dine inside (or opt for holiday-themed afternoon tea). The Fairmont’s Cirque Bar is another hot spot for cozy evenings this holiday season." - Lauren Saria, Justine Jones
