We stayed at the Fairmont Olympic for four nights and loved it. The property was beautiful and the service was impeccable. The health club is the best I have ever used at a hotel. Every person we encountered affiliated with the Fairmont Olympic was incredibly professional and helpful-many thanks to David the bartender in Shuckers for great restaurant tips and Mary the concierge for great help with lots of things! Definately would stay here again. Chris and Lisa

Pretty nice, especially since work was picking it up and they got a corporate discount. The front desk booked me into a dirty room, then gave me a new one, and a bottle of nasty Cabernet to make up for it. The location was great and the suite (clean one) was nicely appointed.

I live near seattle and frequently have business meetings at this hotel.. after my first visit to the fairmont seattle I wanted to come back with my family we enjoyed it so much that we go here as oftend as we can(my daughter loves this hotel so much she had her birthday here).I have stayed at numerous Seattle hotels but none was as good as this one...
Service:
The service here is expectational for a five star hotel, it meets up to it's fairmont name.

-Very very kid friendly, [ at every visit my two kids recieved a complimentry cookies and milk delivered to our room.. the milk was cold and the cookies are always still warm from the oven which is always a nice touch ]

-while staying here during christmas time my kids would recieve a complimentary gift package with a bunch of fun toys and games, they quite enjoyed them :)

-also, almost always we are upgraded to a suite

-by the pool they offer complimentry water bottles and sometimes complimentry gatorade...In the morning they offer hot tea which is a nice thing to wake up to.

-toys are by the pool such as kick boards and such for people to use.

-here is a tip ask for some ecalyptus for the sauna at the pools front desk they will give you some, complimentry

ROOMS

- The rooms are nice and well equiped with esentials

-2 robes and slippers are availible for use, if you are traveling with kids call housekeeping and order 2 kids robes which are made smaller.

ANY OTHER FACTS:

- The lobby is beautifully decorated.
-when it is raining (which seems to occur often in seattle) ask for an umbrella they will lend you one for the day.
-try to come in during christmas they bring in a huge tree decorated to a certain theme... also this year they had a gingerbread sculpture of this hotel which was very cool to look at.
-if you want a good seafood dinner go to the hotel restaurant
I have eaten here many times and have never been disatisfied
with the taste ( the sirloin burger is phenomanal so are the fish dishes.. look at the specials)

If you have chosen this hotel to stay at for your seattle visit you have not chosen wrong!! You will enjoy every minute of this wonderful city and just as great, hotel!!

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was in need of refurbishment. My main complaint was the traffic noise (although I am much more fussy than normal about this sort of thing - others probably do not notice it). But I think they should consider putting in double glazing.
