This is a wonderful hotel with the highest caliber service. It's one of the few hotels left in Seattle that has a full complement of doormen and bellmen. This is a hotel that pampers and serves. While it is one of the most expensive hotels in town, good deals can be had, but even without the deals the expense is... More

Every time we stay in this property it seems to get better. From Danny the doorman who has been there seemingly forever who always greets you and makes you welcome, and then all the way throughout the property, this is the place to stay when in Seattle! More

Travelled for a quick overnight business trip. As I stepped out of my taxi, the doorman was expecting me and advised I was already checked in, passed my room details and directed me to the lift. Now, that's what I call service!! Great room, the bed was luxurious and furnished with high quality linen. Loved the bathroom, lighting and the... More

Overall the Fairmont Olympic is a lovely hotel. The pool is very family orientated and the gym is well equipped. What I would warn about though is the suite. We had a one bedroom on the top floor; we were dismayed to find out the the door separating the bedroom and the sitting/tv area is not really a door but... More

I stayed already several times in this hotel and still with pleasure, nice well decorated spacious rooms and good breakfast. An excellent gym including swimming pool with a very helpful and polite gym employee ( I cannot remember his name) Two remarks though: the carpet is now getting really old, a new carpet would really improve the overall experience.

This Fairmont is centrally located in Seattle. It is a short walk to Pike's Market. Lovely upscale shopping is a few blocks away. The theater district is also nearby. The room was spacious. The bathroom was large with tons of counter space. The concierge helped us plan a tour of the Boeing Factory and the city of of Seattle. They... More

We have stayed in many hotels in Seattle over the years. Having recently stayed at the Fairmont Olympic for a quick one night escape, we might now be spoiled and hard pressed to look at any other. We booked online through the internet. At checkin, the reservation clerk warmly welcomed us and upgraded us to a mini suite. While small,... More

I was very impressed with the opulence of the hotel. Everything was first rate and the personal service and hospitality were exceptional. I stayed there for 8 nights the food in the hotel is exquisite, I quickly became addicted to the Rooftop Lemon drops served at the Terrace. The laundry service was divine, our clothes came back quickly and underpinnings... More
