Fairmont Olympic Hotel Seattle Reviews

Hotel is very nice. However we didn't spend much time in our room due to sightseeing

Just there for Christmas tree viewing. Seems nice.

Stopped by to see the Christmas trees and Christmas decorations. It was beautiful!!

One word?
Elegant!

Nice location. Staff is always courteous and prompt.

BEST IN TOWN: We have been staying here for the last 20 years......through Four Seasons management and now Fairmont. When Fairmont took over, the manager said that he was going to learn from his employees about Four Seasons way of doing things before changing to Fairmont's and would blend the best of both. HE DID. We wouldn't stay anywhere else. By the way, I love having breakfast meetings downstairs and an occasional dinner at Shuckers.

Attached a business dinner at Shucker's at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel recently. Food was great and thankfully we had a reservation. There were a few events in Downtown Seattle that night and it was incredibly busy. Highly recommend!

We celebrated my friend's birthday at the Georgian where we decided on high tea. The tea and crumpets were delicious but the rest of the meal was okay and overpriced. The greeter was a tad strict and unfriendly while our server was accommodating. Towards the end of the meal, we had to go up front to ask for the bill. Overall, a nice atomosphere but service and food could use some improvement.

They got so beautiful Christmas decorations for now. Gingerbread house, Christmas trees, smiling staf - that what makes you feel - Christmas coming!)

Had the most delicious and healthy breakfast of egg white omelet plus papaya cocktail - delivered on time via room service. Their Shuckers restaurant is a must try - especially the yummy clam linguine. A wonderful hotel to stay!

Very well decorated. Cozy . staff is pleasant. Location is great.

This is a wonderful place, full excellence experience!
Location is in the middle of everything

Super hotel, super service. But don't bother to upgrade for a view room. There is no view room in this hotel. I upgraded for a view, had one the "best" rooms... and there was no view.

Beautiful hotel. Amazing staff. Their breakfast is awful, don't eat there. The hotel itself is amazing.

I was there 12 years ago for work reason is very luxurious place I would love to stay one or couple nights if in the future i would go back to Seattle again..

It is expensive and the service is good not excellent

We thought we got a good price for a top-notch hotel, but in fact it really could do with an update. The pictures look great but the room is lacking in comfort.

Definitely my favourite hotel in Seattle. Amazing decor, amazing service, quality mattresses.

The Olympic is the grande dame of old Seattle. I was there for a high end, spare no expense wedding reception. It was the place for it. I've also attended a few high end corporate conferences there. The place is old, but not quite polished enough by it's current owners.

Went to see the Teddy Bear suite. Great fun for the little one.

Very nice and beautiful. Are at shuckers and it was delicious

Absolutely stunning aesthetics. The rooms were beautiful. The lobby was beautiful. A few critiques: There is no parking onsite, and if you want to park, "their" garage a block away costs $40/day, so plan on that. I also had room service. It was an omelette and an English muffin. Extremely expensive. I'm also not picky about food in general, but it tasted really bad. Lastly, their events spill into the lobby, so be prepared for loud music coming in. 4 stars. If you want a beautiful room and price is no object, this hotel is the place for you. Just don't do room service.

I was really impressed by this hotel, great interior, the food, the room and the whole experience was great :-)

Great hotel! Centrally located so it's very easy to get to shopping and restaurants! Staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent service! Would definitely recommend this hotel!

Service is outstanding! They go above and beyond. Hotel is beautiful, room was clean and comfortable.

Very lovely place and extremely well kept. Great for weddings!

It's a good place situated within the city center. You have plenty of places nearby in the walking distance. Staff is courteous as well.

Great service, beautiful rooms and very clean. Updated but still a boutique feel

Great, great great hotel. The style, furniture and decoration are done with good taste. I felt like I was back in Paris Franfe when entering the place.

Amazing massages at the Penelope Beauty Bar Spa. Everything was spotless, and the masseuses have been incredible every time I've gone.

Dropped a friend off who is staying here. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Nice lounge area and a convenient location.

Great hotel and within walking distance of many neat places

Very classy hotel. Everything was perfectly neat and clean throughout my stay. The room is very comfortable.

Our favorite hotel in Seattle. The service is outstanding which is not often the case in other hotels of this caliber. Certainly a destination for family Christmas and other celebrations. Condo size Gingerbread house!

Brilliant location in downtown Seattle. Very close to Washington Convention Centre. My was was kept high standards and was very spacious. Enjoyed every moment in the hotel!

Beautiful and elegant hotel with clean rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well.

Very luxurious for the price we paid. Kids love the room and view.

Fantastic looking rooms, large, airy, very historic. Classic styled rooms. Valet Parking is not cheap and off street parking will be tough.

Great location, nice rooms at a reasonable rate. Hotel staff was helpful and friendly.

Perfect location to check out downtown Seattle. The rooms are modern and views are beautiful.

During the first 2 days of my stay, I thought nothing of this hotel, however as the days went by I noticed something different. I've stayed in many hotels in the last few years alone, but the service of this hotel was special. Their service was proactive, rather than reactive. Some examples:

- They air conditioning was set to the perfect setting. In the 7 nights I stayed here I did not have to touch these settings (a first for me in years)

- The bed and pillows were just right. I had no issue sleeping at night and I felt exceptionally comfortable.

- The cleaning staff would go the extra mile when cleaning my room. They would wrap up charger cables, steam clean the shower doors. Turn down the room in the evening. Ensure that the toilet would flush properly, if not then have someone come and check. Not once did I have to request room service, or house keeping. Absolutely awesome service.

The best trouble free stay I've had at any hotel.

No microwave, for this price you would expect basic amenities.

I only stayed here because the company that was interviewing me for a job placed me here. It's located at the heart of downtown Seattle with a high walkability score. You can easily get to great restaurants, the Pike Place market, and Pacific Place. My hotel room was beautiful and the bed super comfortable.

The only complain I have about this place is that the bar downstairs is really expensive.

Great hotel, nice big rooms, good atmosphere and the service was great. Not many vegetarian options for breakfast.

Classy. Service above and beyond. Little too expensive for what it is.

The lobby was nice. I was there for the Christmas tree display.

Heart of the downtown with historic building feeling

As always the bed is the best night sleep i ever have! The hot tub was nice, staff all really great! Breakfast service 100%. Beautiful property! Love the fairmont

Great location right beside Pike place market. Good rooms, well maintained, and great decor. Would book again!

Room is recently refreshed and very clean and spacious. We appreciated the location and convenience of the hotel to the rest of Seattle proper. The club is well outfitted with a pool and gym. Wished that the parking garage was slightly better connected to the hotel, but it is only a minor complaint given the limitations of a hotel in the city. The overall decor of the hotel is on the older side with more antique style furnishings and trim. Do stop by the Georgian if you have time for afternoon tea.

Fantastic Christmas decor with a really good burger. Not a bad way to spend a Monday night.

Stayed at the San Francisco location twice before and this one has lived up to the expectations.

Beautiful building and friendly staff, but food was overpriced for what you get

Old hotel, lovingly and authentically restored. Quiet, comfortable and large rooms. Gym with pool and hot tub.

Great hotel. Only there one night but the TV was great to play my Xbox on and the shower was great. I'll stay here for sure next time I'm in Seattle. Restaurant downstairs was hit or miss.

The Fairmont Olympic rooms are classy and have great modern accommodations, like headboard reading lights, nightstand charging stations, and eco-friendly flush options. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the hotel is in walking distance to a lot of Seattle's attractions.

Good location, quite
Excellent The hotel the stay in it is special. I stayed in it for a long time. The breakfast is excellent and there is another restaurant for lunch and dinner wonderful
But be careful at Laila Home Less and also First Avenue to be wary of it

Very nice atmosphere, rooms are great, all of the hotels services are too expensive but that was expected. Great overall.
