Fairmont Olympic Hotel Seattle Reviews

Classic hotel with historic backstory. No breakfast or complimentary water bottles in the room. Rooms were clean and well maintained.

The hotel was nice and the rooms were modern. I checked in last minute and stayed in an executive suite; it was clean and the bed was comfortable. The only complaint I had was that the water pressure was a bit low in the shower. Also had breakfast in the restaurant, which is on the first floor of the hotel.

I came with a colleague who was staying at the Fairmont. It was a conviently located hotel that offered great amenities.

My room was nice and large. Felt clean. I checked out the lounge down stairs and thought the food and service was good. Staff has been very friendly. I would stay here again.

Fantastic traditional American hotel. Magnificent Breakfast Buffet. Very, very good service.

The location and the rooms are fantastic. The staff have been excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Classic Fairmont hotel interior. Stylish and upscale.

One of my favorite Fairmonts. Great location. Friendly staff. Great rooms!

Good place to visit in seattle. The personal allway friendly.

I love the Fairmont! Not only is their Georgian tea room excellent but they also have a great old school cocktail lounge with piano, free bar snacks and excellent signature cocktails. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is great too!

Beautiful hotel for our event! The rooms were wonderful!

The hotel is beautiful! Stephanie checked us in and I have never felt more welcome and at home :)
Thank you to Stephanie and all the wonderful staff!

Gorgeous lobby. Great gym. Helpful staff. Comfortable beds. Awesome

Ooh, I love this hotel, especially the Georgian Room and their food. Elegant, sophisticated, refined. If I win the lottery, I'm going to live here.

Great service, and the lavender martini is amazing! Go ahead and try it, you done be disappointed

LOVED the hotel, and the experience it provides. It's in a wonderful location, and there are a LOT of things you can walk to. As for dining, it's great for fancy foodies (not me) and I have legitimately heard great things about the restaurants on site. I personally prefer things like burgers and hot dogs... So I sought food elsewhere. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is due to the amount of children in the pool at 9:30pm. I love that people want to take their kids and have a good time in the pool, I would want nothing different with kids of my own, but late(ish) at night, I just want have a nice relaxing time in the hot tub/pool without all the yelling, and screaming, and splashing (hence my wife and I do not yet have kids) I would absolutely recommend staying here!

The hotel is very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Impeccable service, just as it should from the Fairmont. Schuckers was fantastic; went for happy hour and 4 dozen oysters later, I quit... Amazing, yummy, and incredible. Our server Chris was on the ball and made the meal one of the best I have ever had. Only two issue was our room AC was working poorly but a fan was able to do the trick and hold us over. Service is 5* all the way. WE WILL BE BACK!!!

Beautiful hotel with flawless decor and a spacious layout. Rooms are cozy and high quality. Staff is quiet but professional. Fitness center is top notch.

Shuckers was fantastic. I had the linguini and clams and it was one of the best I've ever had. There were plenty of clams and the sauce was to die for, judging the great fresh bread to sop up all of it. This hotel is beautifully restored. I'd highly recommend visiting.

Visually beautiful historic property with great amenities. Location is ideal for visiting all the top Seattle sites. Food and drink offerings are high quality with good variety but all in the $$$$ price range. Good oyster happy hour at Schuckers onsite bar.

Beautiful hotel. Pool and jacuzzi are worth an overnight stay alone.

Shuckers is an iconic seafood restaurant with excellent fare and service. Fresh oysters and delicious desserts are among the many offerings. Make a reservation, as they are busy.

This is second experience at this place and it is the best as always!!^^

What a wonderfully consistent experience in hospitality. I will stick with the Fairmont, this location was wonderful in all areas, exceptional staff customer service amenities. there is nothing missing here. Thank you to all your staff for the brief home away from home.

Do try the oyster here, very fresh, sweet and delicious. It's a very nice hotel and food there. The service is also great.

The rooms are very nice, considering the price there should be a few amenities included

Attended a gala here. It was a beautiful venue for the event.

Checked out their teddy bear room for Christmas. Very cute but small and cramped. Definitely worth checking out

Interesting property, loved the Shuckers Restuarant. Check was ok no room at 2 :30 PM until 4. Drew was professional and helpful. Room was ok as expected. Amenities not as expected. Much better services and treatment at Fairmont Princess. I guess it is back to Marriott's properties.

Great location with a short, easy walk to Pike Place Market. Very nice hotel and very friendly, helpful staff. Room service offers tasty food and pretty quick delivery. Room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and had a nice view of the courtyard in front of the hotel.

this fairmont is oozes old world luxury - but not in a good way. the furnishings are garish and would look appropriate in the sitting room of louis xiv. the yellow and white wallpaper looks quite nice, but certainly not in a good way. overall the look of the rooms reminds one of a saudi prince trying to style his palace like a french aristocrat from the 1400s.

Laura P and Erika from the reception were exceptionally kind and friendly!

They helped me with a dress during a very busy time! They deserve a raise thank you ladies!!!!!

Great stay here at the Fairmont. Staff are super nice and the rooms are super nice.

Very nice hotel hovewer I'm not that impressed with food.

Absolutely gorgeous architecture that feels like a European castle and beautiful piano bar. One soul / jazz duo (Sidecar) was playing the Thursday night I was there and they were fantastic, especially in the relatively uncrowded lounge.

Definitely on the older side though - can only enter from 1 entrance at night, and chairs in the hotel room are not mobile at all / do not align very well with desk height, making working at your desk in the room quite inconvenient. Hotel room I stayed in didn't have much natural light - just a small window.

Highly recommend just taking a stroll through the hotel at the lobby + mezzanine level, even if not staying there, just to appreciate the architecture.

We spend some time listening to a great band, and had New Year's there too!

Pros: pretty decor, polite staff, 12pm checkout.

Cons: expensive parking, breakfast isn't included free, small rooms, hotel shuttle limited to 10pm and 1 mile radius, hidden/additional fees, $8 non-complimentary bottled water.

The Fairmont Olympic Hotel is a very nice hotel. I found the service to be very helpful. Wake-up calls were prompt. The rooms were standard. Location is center of downtown and very conveniently located near a Link station.

Excelente plus service the employees were so nice and helpful friendly too. The check in was really fast and they help us bring all our staff to the room the accommodations are outstanding we really love it.

It was Christmas: a classic local debutante occasion in full swing, live music, festive folks, lobby bar, everyone having a lovely night out. The bar has quite unique offerings (I called the following week for the proper description of one scrumptious glass). Can't wait to stop in on a regular day!

One of the historical hotels of Seattle, it maintains it's classic appearance. The accommodations are fantastic, the rooms are quite spacious, and the beds are as soft as clouds. I have never slept so well outside of my own home. The staff is exactly what you expect from such an establishment. Very courteous and attentive. I had a marvelous time and I look forward to my next visit.

Came for a spa day and grabbed a bite at Shuckers afterward. Very relaxing, gorgeous spa with wonderful massage therapists and manicurists. Yummy food in a unique space.

Amazing venue? This hotel is a gem in the historic downtown Seattle area. I've been here for lunch on numerous occasions and it never ceases to amaze me. I've also been here for a winter wedding and it is an amazing venue for a wedding.

Excellent hotel in central location, easy access to Light Rail (about 30 minutes drive from the airport for about $ 3). Reception super friendly. Breakfast top quality and changing buffet (but also very expensive). More

Very nice. A little high for the price but worth it.

I love the doormen. The building feels so posh. But I didn't go there to stay; it was for a treatment at "Penelope and the Beauty Bar," which is in the same building.

Rooms were very comfortable, the location was within walking distance to everything. Staff was friendly and helpful.

It's very beautiful with an antique type of feeling. Definitely the place to go for a Christmas event

Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff always going the extra mile. Loved the rooms and the beds were comfy af!

The rooms were very good. This is located in a very busy area. The gym was great and the swimming pool was okay.

Amazing experience and very conveniently located. Everything is a few blocks from here. The rooms are great with exceptional amenities and the staff is super nice and ensure you have a pleasant stay!

I went to the Fairmont for holiday tea, and it was an amazing experience. Service was excellent, food and tea were delicious. The georgian is a beautiful restaurant!

The Festival of Trees was lovely! Hotel staff was kind and held doors open for us.

One of the best rooms I ve ever stayed in. Great views all around. A very nice, classic feel throughout the hotel. The Christmas tree in the grand lobby around the holidays was amazing. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I ve ever slept on in my life, I ve been searching to buy that mattress since my stay and bummed I can t definitively track down what ones they use. Great modern baths and fixtures. Nothing was out of place or broken, everything was great and staff was friendly and courteous. All around great hotel.

The Fairmont is a beautiful hotel! They had all the Christmas decorations up and it really felt wonderful!

We did high tea. The food was great, the tea was great, the staff was courteous. Did the service run like clockwork. Almost... Very little room for improvement.

The staff make this hotel the best! (And the hotel isn't that shabby either.) :)

We were in town for an Awards Ceremony and were lucky to stay at the most wonderful Fairmont. Same consistent service, amenities and service as the SF Fairmont. Elegant and fabulous location. Not a single complaint - all compliments.

Excellent service. Very comfy. Conveniently located.

Lovely hotel. Admire the architecture. Not a robust place, very upscale with "old world charm."

Great staff, good rooms, exercise rooms, pool, walking distance to a lot of Seattle landmarks.

Very nice rooms, breakfast is good but very expensive.
