Being a grand dame of this city, I was expecting a nice property and happy to announce that we had a good stay for the remaining weekend while in Seattle. We had just returned from Olympic National Park and so it was a very pleasant experience when checking into this hotel. The staff were very professional (the front desk more... more

Got an excellent deal thru Expedia on this hotel. Arrival: confusion, bellhop spoke broken english, they asked if we wanted them to take all our bags up to our room, it was confusing and awkward so we just did it ourselves. They didn't help us getting luggage loaded onto the carts. I think they should just do it, not ask!... more

I was a little worried having read some reviews before staying here. The hotel has some worn items, but the service and care of its staff more than compensated for any worn carpet I saw. My in-laws and I stayed here on the night of July 4th. We arrived around 9:30AM from our cruise ship and they let us check... more

I stayed in this hotel many times back in the days when it was the "Four Seasons Olympic". My spouse and I recently had the misfortune to stay there again under its new (Fairmont) sponsorship. We arrived around 10 pm only to find that the room we had booked through American Express (and gauranteed for late arrival!) had been given... more

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

My family and I stayed in two connecting rooms on the 8th floor for two nights. One of the toilets didn't work and it took several calls to the maintenance department to get somebody to fix it. In the other room, one of the air conditioning vents made a loud whistling sound that never seemed to go away. (We wound... more

We booked in for a one-night stay at the Olympic after I had minor surgery in Seattle. Full disclosure here- I work in a hotel myself (not a Fairmont), so I am inclined to be forgiving of little things that go wrong; and we are low-maintenance travellers anyway so our needs are quite basic. That said, we greatly enjoyed every... more
