Fairmont Olympic Hotel Seattle Reviews

We visited this Fairmont for two nights while in Seattle. We always try to stay at Fairmont properties while traveling. The Fairmont Olympic is a beautiful Hotel with Rich history. There is always one person at every Fairmont that makes you feel Special and right at home, for us it was Vincent. From the moment I we met Vincent he made us feel like family. Vincent's customer service is perfect in every way, and simply put he is the.reason we will return. I would highly recommend this hotel when in Seattle, and if a big fellow with a warm smile asks you if there is anything you need, you have found Vincent and you will be pleased you did.

Attended a wedding in the Spanish Ballroom, beautiful venue and the staff were great.

Was a great stay untill money was stolen from our room.

this place is a beautiful building that has just been renovated. we got upgraded and we were amazed by the size of our bathroom! the staff was extremely friendly (from front desk to porter, valet and housekeeping). there wasn't so many views but the service and the hotel itself makes it a great property to stay at. you can also ask valet to drive you around at no cost!

I was staying 2 nights in Seattle. The bed was very comfy and the shower is nice. The biggest issue I had was that there was no free WiFi and when I ordered breakfast at the dinning area, I was still charged the 20% as if I had it through room service.

Georgous old hotel that is completely updated. Huge rooms

The Fairmont Olympic is a little far from the convention center but its a hotel with character. Its very old styled and beautiful.

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff and great food and drinks. My family has always loved this hotel.

Stepping back in time minus the jazz the evening we were there. Beautifully restored.

Wonderful hotel. Attentive to details and recently refreshed. Make sure you try the lavender infused martini in the hotel bar!

A wonderful hotel and the original special occasion destination in Seattle. Was formerly the Four Seasons but has not lost anything in its transition to a Fairmont property. Tea or breakfast in the Georgean room, or breakfast by the pool, a drink at the bar are all memory inducing.

Great place to stay while in the city. The lobby is fully restored and has a sense of old world luxury. It's inspiring when you walk into the lobby for check in. The rooms are fully remodeled and comfortable. They had a feather free floor that I appreciated, hate having to ask for foam pillows every where I go. The staff was very attentive and overall you will feel like you are in a wonderful place to relax and recharge.

One of the staff stepped on and broke my headphones and didn't even tellme

Hotel itself is very nice and staff are very friendly. Room is large for a suite but a bit outdated. For a suite, would expect some updates. Calking around the toilet needs to be replaced and the bottom of the shower curtain has black spots.

Amazing historic hotel right in the heart of downtown.

Amazing place with beautiful ambiance. One of my favorites in Seattle down town. This place is experience of life. Must visit

This is a very beautiful hotel. We've never stayed overnight, but have been there a couple times, once for afternoon tea and lunch. The food was amazing! One of the best places in the city for afternoon tea. Beautiful and elegant ambiance. I can't believe we haven't been back.

Wonderful place. A bit stingy in the whiskey pour, but that seems to be a trend that I am seeing elsewhere. Great hotel , great location.

I had a lovely stay at this elegant 5 star hotel. The fish and chips at Shuckers restaurant were some of the best that I have ever had. My room was tidy and had a view of the water and part of Pike's Place market. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and dinner experience.

Had a great stay, everyone was friendly and helpful.

Happy hour with Michelle is phenomenal. 8 dollar signature martinis, oysters and the best totchos I have ever had

Luxury and quality, great restaurant too. I lost the umbrella from the room when I went out and asked them charge me. They didn't charge and said they appreciate the honesty.

Excellent and professional staff along with beautiful architecture in a historical setting make this place exceptionally enjoyable.

Love to stay here when need a night over in Seattle
Great service and rooms.are amazing

There isn't any comparing this wonderful, historic place to most hotels a middle class American would typically stay at. This is a place where wealthy, upper class people would feel comfortable. Everything, from the way the beds are made to the amenities to the architecture is better. The food was top notch and all the employees were among the most professional I've ever encountered.

Wonderful hotel. The 5-star rating is well-deserved. Will definitely be staying here again.

Nice visit to Teddy Bear Display. Grandson was Happy.

Love the location, walking distance to downtown. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The guys working in the lobby helped with everything from opening the door to carrying our luggage. Also, our room had a great view.

Old hotel that is being renewed. Great service, top location and one of the best in Seattle

Really enjoyed this hotel, its hospitality and the accommodations. I'd gladly stay again. Rooms were clean, staff attentive, and elevators efficient.

How great helpful this hotel is! I booked two non-refundable rooms for my friends for July.03, they were planning to visit Vancouver and Seattle in July. unfortunately one of my friend got injury yesterday and needs surgery in hospital now. they have to cancel their fly, they couldn't make this trip at all. so I called hotel this morning to see if I can change my booking due to it was non refundable booking. the hotel staff Carole is very nice and very helpful, once she knew our situation, she did cancellations for us without any charge, she also send warm greeting words to my friend, wish my friend gets well soon, let me feel so warm, thank you very much! We will definitely like to back this hotel in the future.

Beautiful hotel in the middle of Seattle. You can walk to about anywhere from here!

I lost a pair of prescription glasses at the Hotel. As I was departing the hotel I handed my card to the Bellman and said if you find a pair of prescription glasses give me a call. Sure enough I was boarding my plane when he called and found the glasses. He immediately Fed Ex them to me in Texas. They were packaged carefully and just as good a shape when I lost them. Thanks Faimont for great customer service!

My first experience was filming for a Dateline show in the early 2000's. Everything was maintained so there were no glitches to slow us down. The penthouse offered the space and quiet for our production. Years later I visit the business office regularly, where the staff goes out of their way to ensure meetings are set up as needed.

We've all felt a little sad for that old guy you see jogging around town. But I'm that guy, and this morning my run began very early - while still dark - from the Olympic's motor court. The doorman saw me coming and gave me a thumbs-up on my way out.

Absolutely gorgeous for a quick business trip. It's in the middle of downtown, so taking a trip to the museums and the space needle takes a good walk.

Valet took 45 minutes to get our car when it wasn't even busy. They seem to had lost our car and took a long time to find it.

Very nice since the remodel. Staff was very nice and rooms were clean. Good value for the price of a nice room in downtown Seattle.

This is such a historic property - beautiful detail in all the rooms!

We really enjoyed our stay here. We took a cruise to Alaska. So we decided to stay in the Fairmont Olympic hotel overnight. Great customer service. Great food. Nice atmosphere also.

We had a theft of a wallet in the reception hall and the hotel was so unhelpful. They first denied it happened until we confirmed we watched the thief steal it and run out. When we asked to speak to the security the desk clerk said they were unavailable then we asked for the manager who kept insisting the alleged theft. I would advice not letting your valuables out ofyour sight and don't depend on the staff to help you.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great room in a great location and very nicely decorated and furnished.

Old school hotel. Magnificent decor everywhere. Pool, gym and restaurant. The restaurant food is incredible. USB ports in the rooms. Very helpful, friendly and professional staff. Short walk to the water, restaurants and shopping. This is not an inexpensive place.

Had the high tea service. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Teddy is a charming lady who was attentive to our family s needs during our stay. Eclectic and whimsical decor. The cookies upon arrival were super yummy and a nice touch. Our children loved the basketball court, board games, and built in hide away beds. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The location was perfect for hiking and the modern conveniences of Seward.

Went there on Christmas morning to see the Teddy bear room. Really beautiful setup. Love it.

This hotel was extremely clean and comfortable. The staff were kind and helpful when needed. I would recommend staying here.

Classy old world charm. Great service. Beautiful rooms. Quiet but not boring.

Old World Elegance at its finest! Best coffee in Seattle at Belle Epicurean which is located in the hotel. Also, the hotel Spa Penelope, is a great place to relax and pamper yourself, staff is exceptional in service and very knowledgeable about the spa products they carry. The hotel town car was a great way to get around town, service impeccable! Don't want to forget to mention that the hotel beds in our rooms were very comfortable and we all slept well. I would do another girls weekend here again! Thank you to the hotel staff for making our stay fabulous!

We were told that the credit card was only for incidentals, then we were charged a resort fee that was not previously mentioned. Also, the shower never got above lukewarm.

Our go to place when we are down watching the Seahawks and it is always a great experience.

Went to visit the Christmas teddy bear room here on the day after Thanksgiving. Always a fun experience. Staff is always helpful and friendly. The decorations are beautiful and there are charity Christmas trees to see too.

Probably the best hotel in Seattle, with a century of history but updated rooms. Gym, pool, and restaurant are all excellent. Ask for a room ending in "37" for a perfectly-framed view of the Space Needle.

Perfect location , very quiet, clean rooms and friendly staff

Checking was easy, we had some friendly banter with the person who was checking us in and that was nice. There was a fan in the room when we got up there which was great since it was nearly 90 degrees. The room was clean and it did have a view of the water (albiet a very small sliver of a view). The shower in the room was lovely. After checking out we checked our bags at the concierge so we could jaunt about the city for a few hours. I will stay there again.
