Fairmont Olympic Hotel Seattle Reviews

This Hotel is exquisite!!! I want to thank the entire staff for welcoming Wine Women and Shoes Fashion Show! I was one of the models who showcased while raising money for foster children of the Olive Crest Foundation! Their ballroom was absolutely magical! I highly recommend staying here!

I didn't spend enough time there to have an opinion. Just spent about an hour in one room....

Pretty great, the location is relatively convenient for getting around, though traffic could be a bit slow. Rooms were nice and quite spacious.

Everything you would expect and more from a 5-star hotel. The text concierge service is amazing, you can get recommendations from a local or anything you need in your room. Will definitely stay again

They try to charge you $45 bucks to park overnight in the only parking available at the hotel. Also no free breakfast. Thumbs WAY down.

Staff has been very very helpful! Location is great, food delicious, concierge staff are the Best!

Was not a customer but attended some of the hotel holiday festivities. The staff were still welcoming and assisted me happily. I'd imagine a wonderful place to stay as an actual guest!!!

Majestic, beautiful, reminds me of yesteryear. Super friendly staff!

Pros
Nice location and view. Good services
Cons
Even water is charged

Great rate. Great service from doorman, front desk, concierge. Great room. Great location. Just great! Will stay the next time I'm in town.

I had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont Olympic, the house keeping staff was really kind and provided great service, the doormen had always good advices, and the hotel car was much appreciated.

The location is downtown but on the quieter edge of downtown. The staff were all great, from the valet to the reception. We were upgraded to a suite and very happy. A bit disappointed the bath/shower combination isn't of a higher quality. We also didn't make it to the pool but it looked nice. We ate at Shuckers and really enjoyed it.

Great experience all the people were very nice and the room was spectacular

It's a great place, but it better be for the prices they charge.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 2011 ... Before saying more; Quality and Service are everything. My Rating for SHUCKERS is POOR

This place is located in the Fairmont Olympic. As a result this place is expected to have a first class menu, with first class service and ambience. That was our expectation when we booked our reservation through Open Table.

We were greeted by an expressionless zombie who led us to our table without a greeting or as much as a word beyond, "Follow me". That set the tone for what followed. Our Server was Tori. She was competent and did the best she could with what she had to work with. The menu was far less than we expected and far too expensive for the MEDIOCRE food we received. Think of this place as dark wood, sticky tables and not much different than a neighborhood pub except you can access it from the street as well as from the Fairmont LL. Our experience at Shuckers was by far the poorest meal of our entire 3 day visit in Seattle. There are far better restaurants in the immediate area.

Excellent service and beautiful rooms! The front desk clerk, Tanner, was awesome! Don't miss the Happy Hour at Shuckers from 3-5pm, M-F. The local oysters were excellent! The Penelope Spa was also great, so if you have some time and money to spend, I recommend it!

Beautiful hotel with friendly, helpful staff. The festival of trees hosted there was a great treat.

Terrific hotel in the heart of Seattle with a great staff

From pulling up to pulling away my family and I were treated with care and respect. Complimentary milk and cookies were provided later on in the evening for my children which was a treat. All staff were being courteous and even asked if I could be helped when I looked lost (I was, twice.) I can't thank the hotel and staff enough for such a pleasant visit, and I look forward to staying with them/the hotel again in the future.

Excellent, posh accomodations. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Strikingly beautiful, timeless ambiance. Wonderful service in the spa, valet, and Georgian resturant.

Fast check in. Clean rooms. Good room service. Easy check out.

This place is gorgeous. Truly an amazing staff and hotel.

My stay at the Fairmont was great. The room was clean and spacious. Fairmont's staff was also very accommodating and even allowed me to check in slightly earlier than the official check in time. I have no complaints and would recommend this place if you are having doubts.

Beautiful rooms and very accommodating staff, very close to all the excitement.

I love the Fairmont hotel around the holidays, the trees are gorgeous, teddy bear suite is pretty elaborate with a mix of new and older teddy bears, the walk through gingerbread house is amazing. This hotel is very lovely year round, staff is friendly and helpful, but there is something extra magical about this place around the holidays.

I loved the bed and pillows of the room. They were so incredibly soft.
The room was very nice and the bathroom was also very luxurious.

I can't rate this hotel 5 stars because of the overpriced food. 35 dollars for a breakfast which consisted of 2 eggs and a hash brown with some coffee.

Other than that, the hotel is very comfortable and the main reception was very welcoming.

Classic and grand old hotel in downtown Seattle. I like the charm and elegance. Haven't stayed overnight btw, just attended a social event

Luxury hotel, in a good location with very helpful staff

In the heart of downtown. Really helpful employees. Room got bumped up, which is always a good thing.

Beautiful inside and out. I would love to stay here.

Stayed here when the hotel when Four Seasons. Returned a day ago to stay at the Fairmont Seattle and was very disappointed. The room was almost bare-bones with the minimum extras. We had no turn-down service and no drinking water. This was the first in a long time that we were made to pay for internet connection...used our cell phones instead.
The staff was nice but there was no effort to make guests feel a warm welcome.
Honestly would rate this hotel at most a 4 Star Hotel. Quite disappointed.

Attended a wedding reception in the Spanish Ballroom which was quite satisfactory for the purpose.

While the service was good, it was short of the wow I expect from Fairmont. The food was also simply okay and not excellent.

Went to grab food and drinks with friends. The food was pretty good for the price and atmosphere. It's a little understaffed, though. There were only two servers for the entire restaurant in the lobby, the place got full. Other than a slow wait, I had a good time.

Laura P and Erika make a great team! They are willing to help and went above and beyond! Thank you for helping me it s truly appreciated I ll be back to Seattle!

The hotel is nice although the heat in my room did not work so they had to bring up a space heater.

Neet , clean and spacious room. Customer service is good

Great downtown location with superb staff and facilities. Wonderful experience while staying there.

Very friendly personal who makes you feel welcome immediately. It is very central, a short walk to Pike Market and 5th Ave/Downtown shopping area. Hotel rooms are spacious with living room. Bed is very comfortable, I fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow. High-quality interior and overall feeling of the hotel, definitely recommended.

Beautiful building, love walking by on my way to work

Great place! Beautiful rooms and friendly service.

Absolutely beautiful with phenominal service. They texted me after I got settled in to make sure I had everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable and the room was beautifully decorated.

Top notch! I've never been to a nicer hotel. The quality is very evident, from our greeting to the flawless room, and the gym/pool. Beautiful!

This hotel is pretty famous in the area and is strongly reccomend to tourists...they have their own app that lists attractions and help to plan your exploration trip...its conveniently located close to some of the major attractions and famous restaurants, that you can walk to within 5 -10 minutes...We walked to the famous gum wall and ghen to the famous market near which the original Starbucks store is located...The Georgian is a famous restaurant that's inside the hotel...they have a wide selection in their continental or weekend breakfast buffets and a few unique items on the breakfast menu as well. Their french toast is my personal favorite...it was the best that I have eve4 had in my life and is a signature dish...they also have a restaurant and bar that has happy hour next to the Georgian which plays live music on some days (we didn't have time to check it out)...Also there's another restaurant and bar called the Shuckers on their lower level(popcorn shrimp was my favourite here).
They have a gym with a sauna and a pool facing the gym along with a spa pool.
They upgraded us to a Suite and offered us complimentary snacks along with water each night...the housekeeping comes in twice a day...they come in the morning and make your bed really nice and they come in the evening to set it up for sleeping... they have the nespresso coffee machine and a kettle to boil water. Their toiletries are amazing...they are really refreshing and smell like roses(you should read the ingredients and directions label on them, especially the body wash and give yourself a giggle) Overall we had a very comfortable stay here.

Really nice, classic hotel. The gym was nice and had lots of equipment. Rooms aren't huge but are nice.

Very detailed craftsmanship, classy vibe and great food & lemonade at Shuckers

Very old fashioned architect but road noise from room 5 stories up . And can hear next door peoples private moments..

Visited the hotel for the Seattle Bride's Urban Unveiled event and it was so beautifully setup! Lots of gorgeous decor and friendly staff.

The room is over $400 and night, but I've had better service elsewhere. Although the amenities are gorgeous we have a non-functioning air conditioner that they keep trying to fix so our room is almost 80 degrees, concierge service keeps telling us I don't know when we ask questions even about the services there at the hotel. The front desk keeps asking us why we keep calling, and after two days, maid service still has not come to clean our room or refill products. Because of the Beauty and the price of this hotel I guess it is listed as five-star but I would rather go someplace else that knew what they were doing.

Beautiful, large, new rooms but out dated and dusty feeling lobby.

I rarely do this, give a hotel 5 stars but have to say cannot be more satisfied with the place. Fantastic rooms, I had the executive suite, and fantastic room service. Right in downtown and nearby everything. That's my go to hotel in Seattle if staying near downtown. It's an accor hotel group.

Trying to get to "The Georgian" but we arrived late for sunday brunch

First time to Seattle and loved this hotel! The staff was friendly and helpful. Also loved the bedding and pillows.

Staff is always lovely and the grand ballroom such a fun space to hold events.

I was there for looking gingerbread house. It was awesome!

Outstanding place with staff that is alway looking for your satisfaction and ready to assist on finding entretainment or destinations for good food. Hospitality is superior and suit are very comfortable like be at home. Highly recommend to stay at this property in your next trip to Seattle.

Amazing room... shuckers had great food..the lobby was dressed for the holidays...best of all was the amazing coffee at the French bakery downstairs

2020 - another amazing visit. We are renovating and stayed here for a kids birthday! The staff pays attention to everything, left swim goggles and adorable bathrobes for the kids. Home away from

A grand classic hotel centrally located within walking distance to many of Seattle's attractions.

Nice hotel. I came here for the Christmas tea it was delicious. The scones were scrumptious. The staff was nice and it is kid friendly. It is truly a piece of are history. but the only sad thing is its experience but worth to do it once in you life .
