I spent two nights at the Fairmont Olympic as part of a business event at the hotel in April. Rooms were very nice. King bed had excellent bedding and was very comfortable. Lots of room and included a desk, minibar, big closet and comfortable chair/ottoman. Bathrooms were nice, if a bit small, for this quality of hotel. All events that... more

We live in Seattle and booked the Fairmont Olympic for our honeymoon night. We booked a King Suite as we wanted enough space for our wedding party to hang out and get ready prior to our ceremony. We called the hotel directly to book and were given a modest AAA discounted rate as members. Upon booking, we advised we were... more

We had a great stay at this upscale hotel. We stayed for a wedding held in the hotel and the staff was extremely attentive. The room was clean and the wonderful comfortable bedding made the stay excellent. We ordered room service the night we arrived and it was promptly served and was delicious. The hotel is in a good location... more

We are not Fairmont sort of people - we tend to fit in at the Comfort Inn & Suites - however we did decide to splurge for our last two nights in Seattle and stay at the Fairmont Olympic - and it was really lovely. The valet parking was efficient and friendly - those guys outside are the hotel's best... more

The Fairmont is a beautiful, older (but modernized) hotel in a prime Seattle location. The hotel is walking distance from most city sights, including the waterfront, aquarium, shopping, Market and many more. The lobby is old-style, large and comfortable, with oriental rugs, lots of wood, etc. Check-in was quick. Getting to the room -- not so quick. The hotel has... more

We just came back from one night here while stopping through Seattle. The price wasn't too bad with the AAA rate of $312/night, though for that price I have high expectations. First arriving, we were greeted by the valet attendants and these guys were all very friendly/helpful. They get 5 stars from me!! We didn't have to wait in line... more

This is a beautiful hotel with service you will not find elsewhere. My personal favorite is the way the bellmen welcome you back every time you leave and return to the hotel. It's such a nice gesture to say "welcome back" and always put a smile on my face. The Concierge was extremely helpful with restaurant suggestions and handling the... more

The Fairmont Olympic is a beautiful historic building with a central location in downtown Seattle. My daughter and I arrived just after noon for our two night stay, and our room was ready. Although it was on the small side, it was very comfortable with two (long) twin beds, a chair/ottoman, TV armoire (with minibar), desk/chair, and fairly large closet... more

Being a grand dame of this city, I was expecting a nice property and happy to announce that we had a good stay for the remaining weekend while in Seattle. We had just returned from Olympic National Park and so it was a very pleasant experience when checking into this hotel. The staff were very professional (the front desk more... more
