A landmark property ideally located in Downtown Seattle, The Fairmont Olympic Hotel is one of the city’s best loved luxury hotels. Recently renovated, this hotel offers nearly a century of luxury service standards, while melding classic elegance with mid-century modern room décor. The AAA 4 Diamond Georgian Restaurant serves delicious French-inspired Northwest Cuisine, in the exquisite surrounds of Seattle’s premier dining room. There’s live jazz on Friday and Saturday nights, and even an exclusive space where up to 12 guests can relax and enjoy their own private dinner party. If you fancy something slightly more casual, head to Shuckers Oyster Bar to sample some fresh premium quality seafood and local artisan microbrews. The authentic carved oak panelling and 1930s tin ceiling make the Shuckers experience all the more unique!

An excellent hotel with great features. Check in was easy, room was lovely with a very comfortable bed. We upgraded to a one bedroom king and well worth it. Breakfast was plentiful with lovely servers. The bar was the centrepiece of the lobby, excellent service both with drinks and food. Check out was easy and staff got us a taxi to the cruise terminal without a fuss. Enjoyed the stay and would recommend to anyone visiting seattle.

Lovely hotel with a decent price

I live in the area but sometimes want to stay in the city and routinely choose The Fairmont even though we’re titanium Bonvoy members. The price is a good value as you still get the elegance, decor and service of a quality hotel. Which doesn’t seem to be the case in many hotels these days .

A prize that only partially paid for a room.
May 12, 2025lkrlamSeattle, Washington
Large Bldg. Large Price. I do appreciate winning a prize for $300.00 to stay here. But I still had to add another $130.00 just to book a basic room. It was a nice King with a far amount of space. Nice bathroom. But a prize I still had to pay partially for.
Fabulous stay

Thank you Team Fairmont Olympic- you have a lovely hotel, great service and a fantastic city. We very much enjoyed our stay. The room was lovely, pool inviting and bars and restaurants fabulous. Chris from SHUCKERS was a stand out for us for our dinner on the final night.

OVERALL: Awesome hotel, beautiful classic architecture, centrally-located, Seattle's "Grand Dame." 10 out of 10 location, public areas, and facilities!
SERVICE: Incredible service from your waitstaff at the Georgian Room for breakfast, from your in-rooom dining staff for breakfast, and from your head bartender at Shuckers for dinner. Also, incredible service from your General Manager, Sunny Joseph, as well as from his Executive Assistant, Renee Wigner, who were both incredibly awesome and efficient! 10 out of 10 service!
ROOM: My room was wonderful! Very spacious, sparkling clean, well-decorated, and with Le Labo Rose 31 bath amenities which are my favorite. Shower water pressure and temperature were tremendous! Housekeeping was efficient, thorough, and invisible. 10 out of 10 room, bath, and housekeeping!
CHECK-IN: Check-in was efficient and quite pleasant. Great Amex FH&R benefits at $72 per day for breakfast, plus $100 general F&B credit. Also received free upgrade to an executive suite and the other usual FH&R benefits. 10 out of 10 check-in!
VALETS: Valets were incredible! When I dropped off my car every evening, they would ask when I would be leaving the next morning, and then have my car ready and waiting for me the next morning without me even having to call or text or use one of those pesky QR codes. I tipped them handsomely because they were the best valets I have seen in a long time! 10 out of 10 valets!
CONCLUSION: Thank you for an incredible 10 out of 10 overall stay and I look forward to returning soon!
