Fairmont Olympic Hotel Seattle Reviews

Great location, great service - No longer serves dinner at Georgian Room which is sad. Also, parking nearby is VERY pricey. Shuckers has really great menu and we had a fantastic waitress.

Wonderful afternoon tea with excellent service. I especially appreciated that they let you smell the teas before committing to one. They also were very helpful in helping me make a reservation when they were almost fully booked.

Okay I ve never stayed (my hometown) but I sooooo appreciate the Christmas tree display every November and the teddy bear palace. 2018 included a real gingerbread house! Wow was that an experience. All free and fab.

The rooms are nice but the diamond shop in the lobby is better!

We had dinner with a party of 6. Our server was less than enthusiastic and it was difficult to get their attention. The dinner salads were delivered without dressing and after adding we didn't get it the entrees were served. Then we discovered dressing wasn't on the entree salad. Other than the salads the food was very good. Our bill was $600. I had hoped for a better experience, but the food was good.

Beautiful hotel with everything you want for an excellent stay. Everything is top notch and you will not be disappointed if you stay here. The Christmas entertainment was well done and really gets you into the Christmas spirit. The home made gingerbread house display was amazing and smelled great. Highly recommended place to stay.

Took a while for the food to arrive, but it was good

Attended an event here. Very nice hotel, great first impression.

Attended a meeting here. Very nice hotel but kind of dated.

This hotel was just fantastic! It has an older charm but has all the amenities. My room had a separate bedroom from the "living room". The room was very clean and comfortable. It's location was very convenient to everything you needed. It's within walking distance to Pike Place Market. Walking distance to the subway to the airport too. Great place.

Great hotel with friendly staff! The room was spotless and you could tell it was recently renovated. Went here with my wife for our anniversary and Kara arranged everything for us! We even had a nice surprise on our arrival and a hand written card :)

I first came here to meet with a friend for a night cap at the hotel bar and I was very pleasantly surprised. Not only is the bartender Michael incredibly talented, he is also extremely engaging. Within an hour of sitting down he had invented two delicious and original concoctions for which we spent the remainder of the night trying to name. The ambiance is old world charm with wood, carpet, and brass fixtures. Crooner versions of the Great American Songbook waft through the air while the time passes. It was such a wonderful experience I have made this bar a regular stop on my Seattle itinerary when I am in town for work.

This is an older historical hotel. Rooms are dated and musty. It is doable if it is the only hotel available for one (1) night. And it is very pricey for the experience. Look around more in Seattle...

Beautiful decor. Nice room.. could have better amenities

Hotel room was very nice and neatly arranged. The bed was super comfortable. I really liked the built in lamp on the bed which you can use if you had to read something without turning on other lights. The breakfast I ordered in the morning arrived on time and was very well prepared.

Check in and check out was a breeze. Bag check was great too. Spacious room, excellent staff.

Totally upscale and everything very ornate !! Old etchings to marble elevators . The bistro downstairs has an amazing brunch and late night snacks ! Old world charm and excellent service . It ll always beat a modern swanky hotel in my experience !

Incredibly beautiful and welcoming grand hotel. It was very festive and fill of holiday cheer.

What a beautiful hidden gem in seattle. Such history and class has passed through this place. Can't believe how stunning it is. Our event for big brother big sisters went so well. The staff were very friendly and the food was just lovely.

Did not stay here only went to the restaurant Shucker's. While waiting for reservation, walked around the place and it so beautiful and fresh flowers were everywhere and it smelled amazing! Would love to book a room sometime.

Beautiful hotel. Loved the location. Accommodating staff.

What can I say, it's 5 and you're gonna pay for it.

Beautiful hotel and surprisingly spacious rooms. The original University of Washington

Great location and absolutely beautiful room. This is a very walkable place for fabulous restaurants. Staff is very accommodating as they were able to check us in several hours ahead of schedule. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful hotel. Rooms are spacious and beds are very comfortable. The staff are all super nice. We ate in the restaurant and it was delicious. Room service was also very good. The hot tub is nice and you can even order drinks to it. The location is perfect, walkable to everything downtown.

The rooms and location was amazing. Staff were very friendly. The room delivery was very pricey. My breakfast cost $40+tips. However, it is really fancy.

Beautiful property in an excellent location with great amenities. Spa, restaurants and shops on site. Beautiful views from many of the rooms. Love the in room Nespresso.

I attended high tea at the Fairmont. The tea (they're 1907 black tea) was nice. Full bodied, never bitter, rich almost clove notes. The servers were frequently around to ensure my pot stayed full. My Kir Royal was tasty. The food was pretty wonderful. I know it wasn't supposed to be a meal, but I could've eaten two or three of those towers. Fancy place for a fancy tea.

Attended a fundraising dinner-auction. Elegant venue.

Great hotel - super accommodating staff and everyone is punctual and professional! Rooms are spacious and clean and up to date! I particularly enjoyed the Rose soap! Definitely would return!

Hotel staff was her professional and helpful all the from front desk, town car driver and valet! I highly recommend this hotel.

Good hotel, bed was comfortable, shower was great and staff was very polite

Lovely hotel, really nice staff. Good location too.

Awesome hotel and has great views. The rooms are spacious and have very comfortable beds. They also have an evening refresh service where they come and prep the room for sleeping.

Went to the Georgian for breakfast for a friend's birthday. Fantastic ambiance and the food was delicious (had the corn beef hash with poached eggs and their french toast). I enjoyed the experience but expected a bit more for the price. It was fine, but no need to return for any reason.

An expensive, well kept island of order in the rising sea of insanity that is Seattle. I'd give it 5 stars if I weren't uneasy about the expense.

The room was beautiful, much of the original decor has been here since the beginning.

We dined at Shuckers, located at the Fairmont Olympic, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was excellent, and the service and ambiance were top notch.

Fantastic room and excellent service by both friendly and qualified staff.

Our stay at the Fairmont Olympic in Seattle was nothing short of perfection. The staff treated us with great respect and attended to our needs without delay. The room was amazing and set within a gorgeous building, full of achitecture and history. The downtown location is conveniently located close to many of Seattle's tourist attractions, with the Public Market and Peir 56 within walking distance, and a short walk to the Monorail which takes you to the Space Needle and MoPop. I hope to stay at the Fairmont Olympic again on our next visit to this beautiful city!

The city center is convenient and the hotel is very welcoming.

Had dinner at the hotel restaurant, Shuckers. The food and service were top notch and great for those who travel for work.

This place was very nice. The staff went out of it's way to take care of our group of 11 people. The restaurant was very good. It was Christmas time and the place was Beautiful and they had live Christmas carolers and up stairs a room of just teddy bear. And don't forget Santa Claus himself was there .

Fairmont olympic is one of the oldest hotels in Downtown seattle.

First time in Seattle and wouldn t stay anywhere else!! This place has a historic charm and the rooms are huge. Very friendly & attentive staff. I ll be back!

We went to the Fairmont for a wedding and reception. The food was excellent and the staff was very nice and attentive.

My favorite place to park while my spouse shops. Super bar service. Never made it past the bar and that's just fine.

really nice hotel! very traditional and classy.
shucker oyster is inside, it has a great selection of fish and oysters!

I was in the lobby briefly, but it is very nice. The hotel is everything you would expect from a Fairmont hotel

Everything about my stay here was perfect.

The staff was friendly, the room was excellent, the location is amazing.. Just a few blocks from pikes peak and steps away from many incredible restaurants.

One of the better hotels I have stayed at. Up there with Ritz any 4 seasons.

Was here for the SEATTLE BRIDE event! It was SPACTACULAR. Not just the event but each and every hotel staff member I came in contact with EXTREAMLY curtious, friendly and answered each and every question I had in regards to the hotel itself and the many ways it's event rooms can be transformed.

Restaurant was excellent, although the food was more on the traditional side the quality of suberb.

The hotel lobby is amazing. The staff is wonderful.

just there s no lobby till July no afternoon tea. One of the reason we choose to stay here was for the lobby;(

Very beautiful old hotel. Feels like a time warp. Very classy. I believe the former President stayed here. Very elegant.

Top notch service and amenities. Spectacular old architecture. Large rooms. Extremely well equipped fitness room and centrally located to all tourist spots.
