We recently, over the memorial day weekend spent our one year anniversary here. The hotel is in a great location walking distance to pike place and the tram to the space needle. 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

Everything about our stay at the Fairmont Olympic was fantastic. Wonderful doormen, great service at the front desk, all pleasing staff, and great location. Will definitely have Seattle as a must revisit while staying at the Olympic

If you are familiar with the Fairmont chain then you already know it will be a luxury traditional property. The Fairmont Olymic Seattle is in a historical building and very centrally located. I felt the furniture in the lobby and rooms were due for refurbishment. Some of the cushions had lost their form and sunken in. We had a Deluxe... More

We spent 2 days at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle Washing. It was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The staff always addresses you by name, the service at all levels is outstanding. The food in the Georgian Room was fantastic. The hotel was beautiful and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. There was... More

It is a lovely old hotel, and we really were pleased with the size of our room, and the furnishings. However, it is an old hotel. We couldn't find plugs for hairdryers, etc., at first. The bathroom was just average. The Georgian Restaurant looked beautiful, but we didn't eat there. The staff was amazing, and over the top. I guess... More

Arrived a little early for our room ...no problem they said come back later and leave those heavy bags and we will have things ready. It was a wonderful room and a splendidly grand hotel. It was perfect for my daughter and I to have a brief visit. The concierge directed us to an ideal place to eat ..Lola's greek... More

I recently got married at Fairmont Olympic in the Spanish Ballroom, so I might be biased in this review--I LOVE the hotel! We stayed at a corner suite for three nights, the staff was friendly and very helpful. My whole experience was as good as it could be. I also had my changing room at the Cascade suite, and it's...
