The hotel

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!

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! The location was perfect — we were able to do everything on foot, which made our trip so enjoyable. The hotel is ideally located right next to the market, the aquarium, and very close to where you take the boat. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better location to enjoy the city! The rooms were beautiful, very comfortable, and everything was perfectly functional. You can tell a lot of thought went into making the stay easy and enjoyable. The kids absolutely loved it and felt comfortable right away. We also had breakfast at the hotel restaurant on our first morning, and it was excellent! Great food, lovely atmosphere, and impeccable service. And last but definitely not least, the staff truly made all the difference: warm, welcoming, and always so kind… they really made us feel at home from the very first moment. What a wonderful team! Overall, it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end, and we would definitely stay here again! Read less

Sonny and Pauline and the Fairmont staff, I wanted to sincerely thank you for making my birthday celebration at The Fairmont Olympic such a memorable and meaningful experience. The thoughtfulness in sending the fruit and cake to my room was incredibly kind and truly appreciated. Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers and birthday card. Sonny, the extra touch of writing the birthday wishes in Arabic meant so much to me, Pauline your name in Arabic was such a personal touch and made the card even more meaningful. The level of hospitality you guys gave me was beyond expectations. The dinner at The George was delicious. Daniel and Ayob were great with us. The birthday dessert was beautiful and the cappuccino Daniel made was perfect! Hotel experience like this are what make a stay unforgettable, and I’m truly grateful for the kindness your hotel staff has shown me. Thank you again for making my birthday so special.

This is an amazing hotel. Very beautiful and classic. Came for a weeks vacation and extended for another 6 days. All facilities at the hotel were amazing and very close to Pike Place and The Waterfront. Also short ride on The Monorail to Seattle Center. Above all was the hotel itself and people that work there. From people that opened the front door for me everyday, checked me in, got my coffee in the morning, took care of my extended stay and served me at the bar. I will be returning as my number one place to stay in Seattle. Read less
