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
5 Star Experience at Fairmont Olympic
My partner & I spent the Christmas holiday at Fairmont Olympic, and it did not disappoint. The hotel is gorgeous and there are some many venues to experience. I had Afternoon Tea at the George, cocktails at their lobby bar, Olympic Bar, and great pastry’s and coffee at 4th Avenue. Oh also, I have to mention their Founders Club which was nestled behind a bookshelf! Huge shout out to the following colleagues Marivic, Cheryl, Delia, and Spencer in Royal Service. Lastly, Shawn, from the Concierge desk he was great at curating my stay. Can’t wait to return.

The place to be
Stayed at the Fairmont Olympic over Christmas with my family and had a wonderful experience. The holiday decorations and ambiance were exceptional, the Christmas dinner and breakfast were delicious, and drinks in the Founders Lounge were excellent. Service was fantastic throughout, and the Teddy Bear Suite was a unique and memorable touch. I also loved the sauna, hot tub and gym. Hotel location is perfect for a morning waterfront run. An outstanding place to stay during the holidays. Special thank you to Pauline Suryana who gave us great recommendations and is a wonderful ambassador of Seattle and the Fairmont Olympic Hotel.

Couldn’t get a live person to help
I tried to contact The George restaurant to buy drinks for fellow guests and continuously got caught in voicemail h—l. No one at the switchboard could help. I spent 20 minutes trying to get through to no avail. Not what I’d expect from a so called 5 star hotel.
