5 stars

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!

“A lot to be desired…”

Feb 21, 2026Patrick S

Very crowded and incredibly understaffed hotel, examples including 30 min wait time at check in, inattentive servers at breakfast, and 90 minutes waiting in line at checkout. Overall, a very frustrating experience, would have expected a lot more with the cost of staying here

“Not enough staff”

Feb 21, 2026whitle2017

Been to this hotel for many different occasions but not recently. We stayed here for the flower show and loved the location and such a beautiful historic building. Unfortunately they were very understaffed. Valet was backed up even though the staff was clearly hustling. We called it in half hour before and still waited 20 minutes after the promised time. The bar is such a lovely spot for people watching and a drink but the wait was long and the food was not well prepared. They give you a number to text when you need something but requests were not responded to or it took so long that it was easier to try and call. Overall it felt like they were trying to cut costs at the expense of the customer. Expect more from a luxury hotel.

“Stay away! Ruined our Valentine’s Day stay! Luxury price… motel-level service.”

Feb 16, 2026Adri M

★☆☆☆☆ — Request for Management Review I’m leaving this review because my Valentine’s stay did not reflect the standards expected from a property of this reputation, and I would appreciate management reviewing what occurred. I booked the romance package and had difficulty reaching concierge prior to arrival — calls, texts, and emails largely went unanswered while trying to plan. At check-in, we waited 47 minutes with no acknowledgment or apology. We then missed our dinner reservation because valet informed us retrieving our car would take about 30 minutes. When we returned for assistance, concierge was closed and the front desk offered minimal solutions. A manager converted a $50 massage credit into a hotel credit and suggested room service, which did not resolve the situation. The room itself was clean but showed clear maintenance concerns: peeling wallpaper, visible water damage above the shower, a loose bathroom mirror, and melted plastic stuck to the iron that ruined my husband’s shirt. The champagne and strawberries included with the package were fine, but nothing about the experience felt special or aligned with the expectations set by the hotel’s branding. Not a single staff member even acknowledged Valentine’s Day, which was surprising considering the package theme. At checkout, the apology felt routine rather than responsive, which gave the impression these issues may not be uncommon. That was honestly the most concerning part. For comparison, we’ve had far more attentive and proactive service at other Seattle hotels, including Silver Cloud SODO, where communication and guest care felt genuinely prioritized. I would welcome direct contact from hotel management to discuss this stay, as the service, communication, and room condition did not match the price point or brand reputation — though based on our experience trying to reach staff, I’m not confident that call will be returned.
