The Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle

Hotel is fabulous historic gem. Had a huge suite with two bathrooms. Awesome main bar and hidden cocktail bar behind bookshelves. Good service and coffee shop on ground floor for daily caffeine hit. Hotel was far better than the city itself, Seattle is littered with homeless and drug problems and it doesn’t feel safe walking the streets. Every third store is closed and there are very few people around, even the famous Pike market had a bad feel. We spent the rest of our stay in Bellevue which was much nicer for shopping and dining.

Fairmont has always held a cherished spot in my heart, and this location is no different. The hotel is truly stunning, offering both beauty and comfort, with service that is exceptional! My only concern during my stay was the size of the standard two-bed room, which felt a bit cramped for two guests. Given the price point of the Fairmont, this was somewhat surprising and disappointing, though I recognize that this isn't typical of all Fairmont properties. In summary, I would definitely choose to stay here again and wholeheartedly recommend it. There’s truly nothing like the Fairmont in Seattle or Vancouver BC, where their distinctiveness and elegance shine through. A helpful tip: if you’re not already a member of the All Accor loyalty program, consider joining before you book your stay. You’ll earn rewards for each night and enjoy a 5% discount on your room! ---- SPARK NOTES: Room: Cramped for more than two people in a standard two queen-bed room, but otherwise comfortable. Walkability: Seattle in general is a walkable city, but I would still recommend taking a Lyft over walking anywhere. If you're not prepared for the weather to change on you, or you're prone to getting lost, getting a ride is safe and efficient. Safety: Very safe area. Even though I stayed here with family, I regularly travel solely as a female and I would have felt safe by myself here without issues.

The hotel is beautiful and the room was very comfortable for my stay. I want to give Ashlee who works at the reception desk a big thank you for assisting me during my stay. She went above and beyond with my requests. Every staff member I interacted with was vert friendly

Beautiful hotel especially the lobby bar decor, and the staff is friendly. Happy centennial, thank you for the memorable birthday experience.

The Fairmount Olympic is amazing. Great location - just blocks to shops or ferry terminal - excellent customer service from the front desk to the valet and the rooms are clean and spacious. The bar in the lobby is fun and offers great people watching. Can’t recommend it enough!
