The hotel

A landmark property ideally located in Downtown Seattle, The Fairmont Olympic Hotel is one of the city’s best loved luxury hotels. Recently renovated, this hotel offers nearly a century of luxury service standards, while melding classic elegance with mid-century modern room décor. The AAA 4 Diamond Georgian Restaurant serves delicious French-inspired Northwest Cuisine, in the exquisite surrounds of Seattle’s premier dining room. There’s live jazz on Friday and Saturday nights, and even an exclusive space where up to 12 guests can relax and enjoy their own private dinner party. If you fancy something slightly more casual, head to Shuckers Oyster Bar to sample some fresh premium quality seafood and local artisan microbrews. The authentic carved oak panelling and 1930s tin ceiling make the Shuckers experience all the more unique!

Mehdi - valet supervisor - was extremely respectful, welcoming, and generous. He was outstanding and helpful during my stay here. He provided me with all questions/concerns. I am more than happy to leave a positive review for Mehdi. I give him an outstanding rating! This hotel cannot afford to lose him!

I travel frequently for work and treated my best friend and myself to an overnight stay here for the 4th of July. Tranquil, lush, and the perfect getaway! Our favorite part of the stay was the beautiful pool, along with the comfy enormous beds.

This is my favourite place by far to stay in Seattle! Besides the beautiful rooms and the best lobby bar in the city - the team here is by far the most friendly, accommodating and professional! They truly make you feel welcome and that you have a well catered-to experience!

This hotel was feast for the eyes. The rooms, the bars, restaurants, lobby, front desk were all so gorgeous. The amenities, such as in room Keurig coffee machine, robes/slippers, higher end toiletries, fluffy towels, AC, made me feel pampered and comfortable. Room service breakfast was so good, we did it both mornings we were there. Staff at the bar, restaurant (the George), concierge, room service were friendly and very helpful. Check in was smooth and friendly. The light rapid transit was close to the hotel and very convenient for getting to the stadium for our blue jays game!! On the negative side, we bought the rooms through a third party but were told we had to pay a separate ‘resort fee’ directly to the hotel. The fee was $171.00 US for 4 people 2 days. I felt that this fee was excessive. Almost everyone uses WIFI these days and I think it should be included in the room fees. In this case, the benefits of the resort fee were overhyped and in a couple cases completely inaccurate. We were told it included ‘in room refreshments’ but not what those were. Turns out that meant tap water in a reusable glass bottle and the coffee maker. I’m from Canada and every hotel I’ve stayed at has a coffee maker included in price of room. The fee was also to access the gym, pool, hot tub which again are usually included in room fee in Canada. Plus pool hot tub were closed most of time we were there. The fee was also to include deals on some entertainment/sightseeing outside the hotel, one of which wasn’t even running anymore. Essentially it seemed the fee was for the wifi and coffee maker at a cost of $40US per day. A little steep for me. I did complain to the front desk and ask that they half the fee, which they did ☺️. Lastly, the area around the hotel was a bit lacking in services. We did not have a vehicle and relied on being able to walk to services. There didn’t seem to be a liquor, cannabis store or a convenience store within easy walking distance which meant buying snack food and alcohol at the hotel which was a bit pricier and inconvenient. Overall, though I gave this 4/5 stars because of the beauty, comfort and friendliness of the staff. Read less
