This is the queen of hotels in Seattle. Fairmonths are great hotels; but this one is special. Gracious! Fabulous concierge services, quiet luxurious rooms. The fitness center is a perfect spot to relax. Then visit either their lobby bar or Shuckers !!! One of my favorite hotels in the world. They earn it every day !!!

Stayed here in early May for a weekend. Booked two 1-bedroom suites (one for us & one for my folks). Beautiful hotel, great in-room breakfast, gorgeous gym & pool, and all-around a wonderful stay. On our departure, the valet brought the car around & there was a package of milk & cookies for our daughter for the trip home. Nicely... More

Old world charm and style together with modern luxuries and quality service. Large and spacious rooms with great beds. We stayed for over a week in early May and were sad to leave our 'home' in Seattle. Very convenient location in centre downtown close to all the major attractions. Breakfasts in the Georgian were an experience not to be missed.... More

Stayed at the Fairmont Olympic in Seattle on two separate extended occasions before and after a recent vacation visit to Victoria, Canada. The location (center of downtown Seattle, a half block from the light rail station from the airport) could not be better. A subdued, classy, Old World style, a friendly staff, roomy suites with great bathrooms, comfortable beds, and... More

A friend and I were so happy with our recent weekend stay at the Olympic. In the more 'classic' Fairmont style, the hotel is beautifully elegant, without feeling stuffy. Our room felt light, airy, and welcoming. The location is fantastic, within walking distance of anything you could want when staying in downtown Seattle. All that aside, the staff their consideration... More

We spent Memorial Day weekend here at the Fairmont Olympic and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is in impeccable shape, elegant and lush. The location of this hotel is its main asset, being right downtown, a block away from the light rain station, near several amazing restaurants and two blocks from Pike's Place. I was surprised to see them... More

A gorgeous hotel filled with antiques. When booking the room I mentioned to the very polite agent that it was our anniversary . We got the surprise of... More

Combining a classically elegant charm with modern, updated rooms, the Fairmont Olympic is a great place to stay in Seattle. I have stayed here several times now and am always pleased with the experience. Also of note are the breakfast offerings in the main dining room. High quality, fresh ingredients that are well prepared help to start off the day... More

The Fairmont Olympic in downtown Seattle is beautiful both inside and in. Staff is courteous and proficient. The room service meal we ordered was promptly presented and very delicious. Accomodations were spotless. Air circulation in our room was terrible. The fan moved very little air and the windows opened little more than a crack. We were surprised to learn the... More
