Fairmont Olympic Hotel

Great stay as part of World cup 2026

Pros: Great room set up for family of 4. Location was great and loved the lobby bar. Cons: Staff were helpful but not exceptional

Gorgeous Hotel, But a Challenge to Guests on Wheels

What a wonderful hotel stay . . . unless you're mobility challenged. Which is not surprising, given the fact that this magnificent, beautiful hotel was built in 1924. They have made recent ADA-compliant adaptations, but there are stairs EVERYWHERE. I was thankful for the lifts from the mezzanine to the Spanish Ballroom and in the Garden Room. At one point we needed to meet our excursion bus at the back door of the hotel, but there are three steps and no ramp at that door. We had to find a side door or use the front door on the opposite site of the hotel and then make our way around the hotel

Family holiday to Seattle visiting from the UK

From the warm welcome at check in from Lieu and the team we had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont Olympia hotel. Lieu went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and provided a faultless, friendly and professional service. The hotel is beautifully furnished to a high standard from the bar and restaurant area through to the beautiful bedrooms. All staff were friendly and attentive. The hotel is in a great location within easy walking distance to all attractions, the harbour, market, restaurants and shops etc. Don’t miss a visit to the hotels hidden speakeasy!

Amazing staff

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the fairmont in Seattle. A special thanks to Lielue for his warm hospitality and going above and beyond to ensure I had a comfortable stay!

Good location with notable drawbacks

Hotel has a nice location, close to Pike Place, Westgate center to catch the monorail, and one block from the metro line that will get you to the airport in about 45 minutes. For a five star hotel there were just a few things off about this place. The bathroom only had a tub/shower combo, no separate toilet area, but the bed was comfortable. The lobby bar had more prostitutes working there than I’ve ever seen, and the service at the breakfast restaurant was poor with slow service and two out of two orders incorrect.
