The Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle

My wife and I loved staying here. The fitness center was impeccable. The sauna, pool, weights all were very clean and neat. Special shoutout to the valet Mehdi for his kindness/generosity and welcoming presence. Would definitely want to come back again and recommend others staying here too.

Mostly great and charming hotel, but “royal service”… not so much. I have stayed here for probably 20 nights over the past few years, and once you finally reach someone, service is great. However, even from inside the hotel anytime I call for service (valet parking or room service), I end up on hold for 4 to 5+ minutes every time. “We continue to assist other guests, please remain on the line and we will be with you momentarily” — repeated 20 or 30 times anytime I call for anything — gets old. I’ve made calls late at night and in the middle of the day, not just at traditional busy times. If the lines are consistently that busy, it’s past time that the hotel needs to staff its phones appropriately. With that said, the hotel is beautiful, rooms are clean and classy, the front desk is well run, and it is quite reasonable for the area. It’s a five star hotel with 3 or 4 star service if you are trying to do anything without going to the lobby.

Excellent accommodation in the city. Peaceful and quite. Frendly staff. Many thanks to Slavica who is always at the right place and at right time. I recommend the hotel because of its fantastic location. If I come again I will come to this hotel.

This is the most amazing hotel in Seattle. When I traveled on business this was my must stay hotel and now that I am retired and live nearby, I will still stay here on special occasions. The service and the newly remodeled lobby bar are exceptional. Highly recommend The Olympic for anyone visiting or just wanting a great staycation.

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.
