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
Historic Hotel with Modern Amenities and Great Service
Great Service. Great History. Highly recommended. The staff in every dept was engaged and willing to help with all questions. Love the story about the art piece above the bar and of course the speakeasy off the lobby.

Best hotel in Seattle
This historic hotel is fantastic and freshly renovated, I would definitely return here anytime, specially the GM mr Sunny is a sweet guy.

Historic experience
The library feel of the lobby made the 101 year old Fairmont Olympic seem timeless. The same is true for the guest rooms with only the bathtub a period detail neither 1924 or 2024. In the Spanish Ballroom for meetings and awards banquets the elegances shines through and the service and food for the meeting I attended were excellent throughout. Departure before 5am was surprising friendly and helpful including finding a taxi and a warm farewell from the front door.

History Meets Hospitality
A beautiful, historic hotel where the architecture is only matched by the customer service and hospitality - all of which were outstanding. Ask about the speakeasy below the staircase - a hidden gem!

the epitome of hospitality
Every employee in this property is so warm, helpful and always SMILEs, from the front desk, the F&B, to the housekeeping staff and the bellmen. This hotel is the epitome of hospitality, a reminder that no matter how advanced the technology has become, it can never replace human touch.
