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.

Great customer experience from this Fairmont Olympic Hotel. The deluxe double room was perfect for our family of 4. We had an excellent nights rest after a busy day exploring Seattle. The location of the hotel enabled us to walk to all tourist sites from Pike Place market to the waterfront and Space Needle. We did hire a car to get to the Boeing Factory tour, which was worth the visit. Big shout out goes to Spencer who warmly welcomed our family of 4 upon our arrival and made sure we were all good for our stay at the hotel. We really appreciated his courtesy and assistance. Also a shout out to the breakfast team as they too were warm and welcoming when we ate at "The George restaurant". The flat iron steak was perfectly prepared as well as the Greek yogurt parfait. Final mention the pool and spa were great to relax in after a day's exploration of Seattle. Would definitely be back.

From the warm welcome at check-in to a seamless departure, everything was absolutely perfect! The Olympic bar was the standout experience with the best design, atmosphere and cocktails (also have to check out the secret ‘Founder’s Club’ speakeasy style hidden lounge - just wow!! My daughter really enjoyed the pool with the skylight looking at the towering city views. Service was excellent throughout. A big thank you to Sayaka from the concierge team for her exceptional service. A truly wonderful experience from start to finish!

Attended the Historic Hotels of America Conference where the Fairmont Olympic team knocked it out of the park! The service was outstanding and the facilities beautiful. I need to go back for leisure...
