About the Hotel
When the property now known as The Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle debuted in the Roaring Twenties, it marked the arrival of the Pacific Northwest – until then, hotels of that caliber were found east of Chicago. It hosted countless galas, debutante balls and presidential visits – JFK stayed here in 1961 – and, in 1979, joined the ranks of the National Register of Historic Places. Italian Renaissance architecture and Old World style meld into a centrally located Seattle landmark that hosts a AAA Four Diamond Award-winning restaurant and one of the city's oldest oyster bars.

Reviews for The Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle
Wonderful historic hotel.
Delighted to be able to stay at a beautiful historic hotel in the heart of Seattle. Everything about our stay was first class, including the staff and one bedroom suite. Location was perfect, with all we wanted to see and do nearby. Highly recommended.

Great stay, repeat worthy
We visited the Fairmont Olympic this past weekend for World cup game. we want to shout out top Aydan so was checking us in ! He was such pleasent and welcoming representation for this hotel. Upon hearing that this was my first time in Seattle and we were here for wedding anniversary celebration, he made us feel so welcome and did his best to ensure we were in a nice room stating "we need to make sure you have a good experience". We really appreciated him and enjoyed our stay. The whole staff is wonderful and high sense of customer service. Hotel is clean and good ameneties, great location too. 15 to 20 min walk to the stadium , pike place, and 10 min walk to the mono rail.

Amazing stay at the Fairmont Hotel in Seattle! !
Our stay at the Fairmont Hotel in Seattle was fabulous! It was made even better because of the kindness & generosity of Lieu from the front desk! His humor added to our wonderful front desk experience! He listened carefully and noted our needs during our stay! I would highly recommend a stay at the Fairmont Hotel while in Seattle!

Great Fairmont Experience
Beautiful hotel with great lobby area and food options. Lieu at the Front desk was wonderful and helpful throughout our stay. Would come back again.

Beautiful and historic hotel
Great downtown location and perhaps one of the finest historical hotels in operation in the city. They have maintained the old world charm of the hotel within the main lobby. The restaurant is updated yet still a gem. My room was large, clean and well-appointed. The food at the conference was excellent as was the breakfast at the restaurant which we sampled outside of the conference that we attended. Rooms were quiet and the service top-notch. Highly recommend.
