We stayed there for a wedding in Seattle. Very nice hotel but could use a little maintenance. The bar in the lobby is the star of the show - great location and great drinks. The restaurant is beautiful and the food is very good but it is pricey. The speakeasy is a really nice touch but we were unable to get into it on each of the 3 nights we were there so be sure to book a reservation. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. My feedback to management is that they need to inspect for the details and then do the required maintenance. Two examples (see pics) — first the bathroom in the hotel lobby has chipped paint and cheap generic trash containers and towel dispensers that I’d expect in a 3-star hotel. The Fairmont is a higher end brand and should look that way. Similarly, in our bathroom there is wallpaper paste all over the walls. Even a cursory inspection by management would have seen the poor look of the walls and fixed it. I know those are small things but they add up when you are expecting a 5 star environment. Have not had those types of issues at St. Regis or Four Seasons.

Pretty good stay, very comfortable bed; in fact I may call and ask what brand their mattresses are! We got a two room suite because we were here nine nights and this provided sanity for us. Because of this we had a discount on breakfast, and because I have a disability we were allowed to use the discount for room service, which I thought was very kind. Hard for me to be anywhere early in the morning! Great swimming pool with shallow to relatively deep end, although one time when I used the pool there was an obnoxious middle aged man with another man making a lot of noise and splashing a lot while there were several people trying to use the pool for swimming and exercise. I only mention this because there is no personnel at the pool annd gym at any time that it's open, in my experience, which I found surprising. The George has pretty good food as does the bar, great appetizers that suffice for a small dinner/pub food, but because of the marble floors and high ceilings the two places are LOUD and it's nearly impossible to have a conversation without shouting. We found the location to be pretty convenient but were surprised that there were not more close by restaurants. We usually drove somewhere to eat or go out to music, but were driving to parks and the Chiuly museum anyway, so that was OK. Also were there to see a cousin and friends, so it wasn't as if we had to have a close by restaurant. Room service breakfast was good and always delivered in about 2/3 the time they said it would be. A welcome surprise since in some hotels the room service is often late. They have a fairly good selection although if you ate there for more than one meal a day you might tire of it; the restaurants have the same menues as room service. Would def stay here again.

We go not like the AI features. Hotel should have a selection of pillows for guests. The pillows were so uncomfortable.

A wonderful stay at the Fairmont in Seattle David gave us such a warm welcome at check-in. As members, we appreciated the upgrades and vouchers and felt very well looked after. The coffee and chocolates were a lovely touch. We also dined at the beautiful George restaurant, where Arnoldo looked after us so well. The food was delicious, and all the staff were highly professional, friendly and welcoming. A special thank you to David, Arnoldo and the entire team for making our stay so enjoyable. Highly recommended!

This review is a little overdue, but with another stay coming up, I was reminded of our last wonderful experience! As always, we had the best stay at the Fairmont, but this time our check-in experience was the highlight. Ayden was incredibly kind, personable, and accommodating, even while navigating a few impatient guests. He and the rest of the staff handled everything with such grace and professionalism. Ayden even took a moment to chat with me about our handbags, which was such a fun, personal touch and made the experience all the more memorable! It’s those little moments that make exceptional hospitality stand out. We always look forward to returning, and it’s people like Ayden who make the Fairmont so special!

We just spent 4 nights at the Fairmont Olympic and we had a great time. The hotel was excellent in every way. Downtown location made it easy to get around without a car. In fact, I walked around town early every morning and my wife and I walked all afternoon. The Washington State ferries (we went to Bainbridge Island one day) are just a short walk away as well. At the hotel, the lobby and the Olympic bar were epic! The decor was awesome too. Spa was great (we both got massages). Coffee shop in the lobby was very convenient. The service was A+, especially the Assistant Director of Rooms, Christian Scherping. He was very friendly, helpful, made great suggestions for dinner (Shuckers is a must), and he always took the time to talk with us even though I'm sure he was very busy. We first met Christian when he worked at the Fairmont Grand in Del Mar (Southern CA) where he made such a great impression on us that, when he accepted his current position at the Fairmont Olympic (where he is now) we decided to come up and stay at this hotel too. Also, Sayaka the Concierge was outstanding. Very helpful with directions, reservations, and information about Seattle. Two excellent employees at an excellent hotel. Would highly recommend staying here. You will be well taken care of.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel while spending two nights here before our cruise. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. A special thank you to Lieu, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail truly enhanced our experience and made us feel welcomed from start to finish! The hotel itself was beautiful, spotless, and well-maintained. Every time we entered or exited the property, we were greeted warmly by the doormen and valet staff, which added a personal touch to our stay. The team that assisted with our luggage was fantastic as well. The gentleman who brought our bags to the room was incredibly friendly and took the time to share excellent local recommendations that helped us discover some great spots around Seattle. The hotel’s location is top-tier. We were able to comfortably walk to a variety of restaurants, explore downtown Seattle, and visit Pike Place Market with ease. It was the perfect home base for sightseeing and enjoying the city. Overall, this was a five-star experience. Between the outstanding service, beautiful accommodations, and unbeatable location, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay before our cruise! We highly recommend the Fairmont Olympic Hotel and look forward to staying here again on our next visit to Seattle!

We had an absolutely amazing time at the Fairmont Olympic. The location is perfect, the rooms are stunning, and the overall experience exceeded every expectation. But what truly made our stay special was the exceptional service — and at the heart of it all was Slavica. Her warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care for guests took everything to another level. During such a vibrant and busy time as the World Cup, she made us feel like we were the only guests in the hotel. We couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Seattle — this is the place to stay!
