The Fairmont Olympic is an absolute gem in Seattle. The hotel staff are extremely professional. There is an atmosphere of elegance and the building's architecture is magnificent. I felt like I was at a meeting of important dignitaries and the Fairmont staff always treat you like a VIP. I absolutely adored my room. Although smaller than other rooms I have... more

We've lived in the Seattle area all our lives and this hotel is an original classic I've always wanted to stay at. We finally splurged and spent a night here and it was perfect in every way! This is an old hotel but immaculent & pristine! The lobby area is gorgeous, with incredible, winding staircases to an upper loggia surrounding... more

We had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont. The location and service are second to none. You are within walking distance to Pike's Place Market and many other great attractions in Seattle. The concierge staff can not do enough for you. The beautiful lobby is a great place to have a cocktail before heading out to dinner. The hotel restaurant,... more

That said, we greatly enjoyed every... more

I had extremely high hopes of this "Landmark" hotel and its reputed five diamond status but unfortunately All of the 5 diamond image fell apart in a 24 hrs: Some of the main problems that we had were: - the room was very dusty. Under the cooling unit, you could see layers of dust -the bathroom phone was so dirty... more

The rooms are fabulous...very "Fairmont" great beds, big bathrooms and large sleeping rooms. more

Perfect and very consistent 5 star experience. Particularly the staff performed without any glitches. You have to like the classical ambiente though. more

I will have to admit, this hotel is well over rated, especially for the price. I am quite surprised every one reviews it as if its as fancy as staying in one of the Las Vegas 4 or 5 star hotels or better. In Las Vegas, this hotel would be considered a 3 star. The lobby is one of the... more
