The Fairmont Olympic is a grand old hotel. It's certainly not trendy, and is decorated in a somewhat fussy style - I personally think it could use a little updating, especially to keep up-to-date with all the other hotels in the area. You don't really get the feeling you are in Seattle. Hotel takes up an entire city block and... more

We got a friends and family rate so it was considerably cheaper than the other hotels downtown seattle. I have to say the location is great - though after walking around i got the impression that seattle downtown is so small you could stay anywhere and it would be convenient. We got upgraded so i'm not sure what a normal... more

I give this hotel 5 stars! Excellent stay, very friendly and accomodating staff. They change your bed sheets daily. Hotel is within a few blocks from all major attractions, and within 3 blocks of the monorail to the Space Needle. I would recommend this hotel to everyone, you can get some fantastic deals on the bargain websites right now! Great... more

The hotel is located a close 4 blocks from the Convention Center, and the walk to there is great. The bellhops are quite friendly and offer to help with luggage if you'd like. The doors were always opened for me when entering or leaving the Hotel. The staff at the reception counter were quite friendly and fast. The Hotel is... more

This was our first Fairmont Hotel experience and had read all experiences left on Tripadvisor. We enjoyed our stay including the extras that the rooms have, like silk hangers for women's clothing with fragrance sachets, the great toilettries, great shower. They will shine your shoes if you like. We also loved the fact that they have a car at our... more

Just returned from a five night stay at the Fairmont Olympic and wish I was still there! Great facility in a perfect location with a well trained, very attentive staff. Initially checked in to a newly renovated room (flat screen tv, updated bath, etc.), but it was close to the street and a little noisy for me (but not as... more

I stayed at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel June 14-17th for business. My business was at the convention center, which was only about 5 blocks away so this was quite convenient. I booked a deluxe room for a very reasonable price, especially considering wi-fi and ethernet internet was included in the price. The deluxe room had a very comfortable king bed... more

Due to a conference, friends and travel we stayed at three hotels during our 10 days in Seattle. This Fairmont is easily one of the nicest in the chain and we think has the best dining room of the 25 or 30 Fairmonts we've stayed in throughout US and Canada. We had a large two room suite and fine though... more

We stayed two nights at a corner room on the 10th floor at the very end of the hallway with a view of the buildings across the street and a little bit of the water. Everything in the room was pretty nice, really only a couple things i'd complain about, one of our bathrobes in the room was a bit... more
