We just came back from one night here while stopping through Seattle. The price wasn't too bad with the AAA rate of $312/night, though for that price I have high expectations. First arriving, we were greeted by the valet attendants and these guys were all very friendly/helpful. They get 5 stars from me!! We didn't have to wait in line... more

This is a beautiful hotel with service you will not find elsewhere. My personal favorite is the way the bellmen welcome you back every time you leave and return to the hotel. It's such a nice gesture to say "welcome back" and always put a smile on my face. The Concierge was extremely helpful with restaurant suggestions and handling the... more

The Fairmont Olympic is a beautiful historic building with a central location in downtown Seattle. My daughter and I arrived just after noon for our two night stay, and our room was ready. Although it was on the small side, it was very comfortable with two (long) twin beds, a chair/ottoman, TV armoire (with minibar), desk/chair, and fairly large closet... more

Being a grand dame of this city, I was expecting a nice property and happy to announce that we had a good stay for the remaining weekend while in Seattle. We had just returned from Olympic National Park and so it was a very pleasant experience when checking into this hotel. The staff were very professional (the front desk more... more

Got an excellent deal thru Expedia on this hotel. Arrival: confusion, bellhop spoke broken english, they asked if we wanted them to take all our bags up to our room, it was confusing and awkward so we just did it ourselves. They didn't help us getting luggage loaded onto the carts. I think they should just do it, not ask!... more

I was a little worried having read some reviews before staying here. The hotel has some worn items, but the service and care of its staff more than compensated for any worn carpet I saw. My in-laws and I stayed here on the night of July 4th. We arrived around 9:30AM from our cruise ship and they let us check... more

I stayed in this hotel many times back in the days when it was the "Four Seasons Olympic". My spouse and I recently had the misfortune to stay there again under its new (Fairmont) sponsorship. We arrived around 10 pm only to find that the room we had booked through American Express (and gauranteed for late arrival!) had been given... more

The Fairmont Olympic is an absolute gem in Seattle. The hotel staff are extremely professional. There is an atmosphere of elegance and the building's architecture is magnificent. I felt like I was at a meeting of important dignitaries and the Fairmont staff always treat you like a VIP. I absolutely adored my room. Although smaller than other rooms I have... more

We've lived in the Seattle area all our lives and this hotel is an original classic I've always wanted to stay at. We finally splurged and spent a night here and it was perfect in every way! This is an old hotel but immaculent & pristine! The lobby area is gorgeous, with incredible, winding staircases to an upper loggia surrounding... more
