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

I had extremely high hopes of this "Landmark" hotel and its reputed five diamond status but unfortunately All of the 5 diamond image fell apart in a 24 hrs: Some of the main problems that we had were: - the room was very dusty. Under the cooling unit, you could see layers of dust -the bathroom phone was so dirty... more

The rooms are fabulous...very "Fairmont" great beds, big bathrooms and large sleeping rooms. more

Perfect and very consistent 5 star experience. Particularly the staff performed without any glitches. You have to like the classical ambiente though. more

The candid photos (by others) do a great job in displaying the traditional classic floral decoration of the rooms, with comfy sofas in lieu of trendy cushion seats. All the usual amenities that you would expect from this... more

We are in seattle for 3 weeks due to my husband's work. So the Fairmont is the first of 3 reviews that will appear. The Fairmont certainly lives up to it's 5 star rating everythin from the lobby to the rooms is immaculate and beautifully furnished. I do have a few complaints or comments 1) Food is outrageously expensive! I... more
