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
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.

Teddy Bear Suite
We visit the special Christmas room - The Teddy Bear Suite. It is so cute to visit, specially for children with their families. The employee, Ana Marie, she take care of the place very well and friendly with the visitors.

Teddy bear suite
The location is great. Good for walking distance from Capitol Hill. Very Christmasy. The teddy bear suite is adorable.

Visit to the Teddy Bear Suite & a drink at the bar! Holiday cheer!
We came for a drink and the teddy bear suite! Loved it! The kids were having such a great time (everyone was dolled up in their holiday best.) Afterwards we went down for a drink at their beautiful bar (we love the centerpiece above the bar — it’s this metal steampunkish bicycle instillation.) Very fun!

Fairmont Olympic Hotel Dec 2025
Lieu at the front desk was a superstar to us during our stay! Additionally, he remained calm, upbeat, and unfazed by chaos all around him during the peak hours of check-in time. His positive attitude was infectious! I wish there were more like him in the hospitality industry!!
