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!

Quality well located traditional Seattle hotel

A proper hotel in an excellent location. Take the new $2 light rail to/from the airport and you are a 3 minute walk from the hotel (albeit uphill) when you arrive in the city. You can tell that the hotel is high quality with ‘proper’ well appointed rooms and a really solid quality feel. Only niggle is in your room you are provided a miniscule…

You can tell that the hotel is high quality with ‘proper’ well appointed rooms and a really solid quality feel. Only niggle is in your room you are provided a miniscule 200ml box of water each day (that really doesn’t go far between 2 people and just looks cheap!)

Seattle the beautiful
Jul 13, 2025cristinacS9418ZO
When we arrived at the front desk we were greeted by a wonderful smiling face and great personality , CAROLYN Crawford had the best welcome I ever had, thank you.
The room was clean, beautiful and spacious.
The coffee shop at the 4th street is a nice place to relax and enjoy the breakfast.
Great professional experienced staff, with a smile. They go the extra mile.

I was celebrating a special birthday with a trip to Seattle and chose to stay at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel. It was a 5-star experience on all levels. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make it a memorable trip. The hotel can best be described as "grand". It has a beautiful lobby/check-in/bar area that is elegant and reminds you of a by-gone era. I was in a Jr. Suite and it was lovely. The bed and linens were exquisite. It had a huge bathroom and spacious living area as well. I also ate at the bar twice and it was delicious. Ordered room service as well twice and it was prompt and arrived hot. The hotel is also in an excellent location. I took a tour that met at the Seattle Library which was just one block away. The hotel is also near a huge Target if you need anything during your stay and there are numerous restaurants nearby. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a lovely, comfortable, upscale place to stay in Seattle!

Horrible experience checking in post cruise. Front desk staff was misleading and condescending and required management involvement to get a room. Once situated , the room which was described as a complimentary upgrade, had obvious shortcomings and appeared to not be regularly used. Stains were noted on the walls in the bathroom and after 48 hrs the room was not cleaned nor were towels replenished. Had to get towels and toilet paper from a cart in hallway on my own. Coffee in the lobby was taken away at 7 am in the coffee capital of the USA. Very disappointing for a “luxury hotel” and crossing Fairmont off my list in the future
