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!

One of the best experiences we have had at any hotel so far, the staff, the property, the ambience, the service, the amenities, everything literally the best. The staff were exceptionally hospitable, the reception staff were very quick, the food was so delicious. This our go to hotel for weekends from now on.

You are not allowed to get to-go from the onsite restaurant, even with limited evening dining option in the area. Cafe in the basement is extremely overpriced. Concierge was non-existent. The cherry on top was when checking out, we told the desk staff we were going to Vancouver next, she said it’s like Seattle but nicer. I don’t think I’ll be staying here again. Read less

The clerk at check-in was fantastic, even got an upgrade to a Junior King suite! Many local places to eat but there is no better place than The George for Octopus and Scallops, they were incredible, I would take a stroll to Elliotts for Oysters!!

My wife and I stayed at the Fairmont Olympic while in town for a concert and we were thoroughly impressed. We booked our stay through Amex and we were upgraded to a junior suite upon arrival. The hotel is also pet friendly, and the staff were all very sweet with our pup. We had the opportunity to grab dinner at Shuckers - which was fantastic - and breakfast at The George, also very good. The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance from Pike Place, the waterfront, Pioneer Square and Westlake Center. While many areas in downtown Seattle have had recent challenges, the hotel is in one of the better areas and we never felt unsafe walking around, even late at night. We were only there for a quick stay, but we were impressed with the property, the facilities and the staff. We will definitely be back. Read less
