We really enjoyed our stay at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel. It is a beautiful and well maintained property that has just the right blend of old world charm and modern amenities. The staff really goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that you have a pleasant stay. A special callout to the bars and restaurants here. Food, drinks, service - all fantastic! We would definitely stay here again, and we highly recommend booking a room here if you are planning a trip to Seattle!
Easy early check in. Warm pool and clean hot tub. Water and apples a nice touch. Concierge very helpful in printing my boarding passes. Room service timely and food hot and tasty. A nice stay
Extremely welcoming, the staff are so helpful & friendly! I got early check in, the room was clean, comfortable & quiet!! The hotel itself is amazing, stunning building, well maintained & a great location in Seattle, a short Uber/Lyft to the Space Needle, MoPop Museum, Climate Pledge Arena also walking distance to many other popular locations, shopping area, Pikes Place, the Waterfront!! I truly recommend staying at this hotel!
The hotel was stunning and our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed cocktails and snacks at the hotel's speakeasy-style bar, brunch at the main restaurant, and dinner at the oyster bar. Everything we ordered was excellent. We also enjoyed fantastic massages at the spa. Overall, a 10/10 experience -- I would gladly stay here again.
Came to go on a cruise for a one night stay- it was great spot to be close to everything but unfortunately did not have a shuttle to the hotel or the cruise terminal and Ubers and Lyfts in the area are very pricey. They do have a heated pool inside which is definitely a nice touch, and the staff were super friendly. Very historic feel and the rooms could use some updated deep cleans but overall was a good stay
my stay was beyond superb. I worked from the library in the lobby for the afternoon, and was offered an amazing upgrade to a corner room with a view- stunning. The wine and spirit selection were tip tier, The Founders Club was swanky and such a fun experience, fresh seafood at Shuckers was delicious, and the steak i ordered for room service was to die for. Such an amazing retreat in the city!
