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!

What a beautiful hotel! I was blown away by the lobby/bar area. The staff were beyond accommodating as all Fairmonts have always been. The food and drinks were great (highly recommend eating at Shuckers and getting the oysters)! 110% recommend staying at the Fairmont Olympic.

Very lovely hotel. It is in a great location, close to pike place and the aquarium. It has a beautiful lobby and our room was quite spacious and very clean. For the price a few touches like turn down service would have been nice. But overall a very nice hotel I would stay at again.

Outstanding service at the Fairmont Olympic! From the friendly check-in to the attentive room service, every staff member went above and beyond. The concierge team's local tips made exploring the city a breeze. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch stay! I will be back to stay again!

I recently hosted my birthday party at The George and let me tell you - this is where you want to host a celebration. Aside from the stunning interior, our server, Brenda, was so attentive and offered personalized recommendations from the dinner menu and wine list. Pro-tip: order the seafood tower and add a caviar "bump."

The Fairmont Olympic Hotel is not only one of the most beautiful hotels in the Fairmont portfolio, but the Olympic staff is world class! Renee and Curtis (especially) made our stay in even better with their recommendations for local “must see” off the beaten path sights in Seattle, their general warmth and friendliness and going out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect! If you don’t stay at the Olympic when you’re in Seattle, you are doing yourself a disservice. We’ll be back! Absolutely would not stay anywhere else. Read less
