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!

A lovely hotel with gorgeous rooms. Staff are really pleasant and welcoming. Really nice bar area to sit and have a cocktail. If you’ve booked bed and breakfast then you will have an “allowance” to spend. Just be aware of the hills when coming from the harbour area.

The Fairmont Olympic's Mother's Day brunch exceeded our expectations in every way! From the exquisite cheeses at the buffet to the delightful Mountlake Terrace High School band, every detail was impeccable. The waitstaff were not only professional but also incredibly friendly and personable, adding to the overall warm ambiance. The buffet presented an impressive array of options that catered to every taste and craving. From the rich and creamy eggs cocotte varieties to the savory delights of roasted chicken, salmon, ham, and braised beef at the hot food bar, there was a wealth of choices to explore. Additionally, the freshly shucked oysters, shrimp cocktails, and delicate lox added a touch of indulgence to the spread. Not to mention, the traditional breakfast staples like fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and hearty sausages were all expertly prepared. The variety was extensive, ensuring that there was something delightful for everyone, making our dining experience truly memorable. One highlight was the opportunity to create a bouquet and capture a special moment with it at the photobooth. Our experience was nothing short of exceptional, and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Read less

The hotel has a beautiful lobby, and the rooms were nice too! Had all the proper amenities I’d expect from a nice hotel like this. Was perfect for a business trip. They did have to shut off the power in the middle of the night, but I don’t think it was something they could avoid, and it was a nice touch for them to bring us extra water and a… Read more

I'd been unsure about staying at the Fairmont after reading some of the reviews. After my usual hotel was out of policy for a work trip, I took a gamble on the hotel and was in no way disappointed.

I needn't have worried about the stated swimming pool hours - 8am to 9pm - as reception was always willing to have it opened early upon request. The lobby and bar area was beautiful; the room was spacious and comfortable; interactions with the team always positive. This has become my new #1 in Seattle. Read less

Though I never stayed here before, I always assumed the Fairmont was a really nice hotel. It is not. The rooms are outdated and in decay. There was a giant temporary air conditioning unit outside my door (see photo), complete with an extension cord duct taped across the threshold of my door. The plumbing is in terrible shape, thus giving me inconsistent/low pressure in the shower. The valet car people are severely understaffed. When I first arrived, they wasn't even someone present to take my car. Then, two days in a row I called for my car and they had not yet retrieved it after 15 minutes. Even the staff admits things are not what they once were. Please get your act together. This is no longer the pandemic where you can do less and charge more. Read less
