Hotel Review of the Fairmont Olympic Hotel Seattle
Aug 1, 2010
Seattle is such a great city. There is so much to do and see, shopping,
restaurants, almost like a little Manhattan with more outdoor activities and
natural beauty. The Fairmont is right in the middle of it all. Walk out the door
or even just into the lobby for the best shopping, sophisticated, old-world
architecture and decor. Within easy distance of Nordstrom's, Seattle Center, the
Art Museum, Pike Place Market. A perfect option for anyone willing to spend a
little more money for one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in personally.

The Fairmont Olympic is classic Seattle high style--complete with high tea, a
luxurious spa, and lovely rooms. It's location near shopping and in walking
distance to Pike Place Market make it the perfect hub for a Seattle city escape!

A grand hotel, as you'd expect from its 5 stars and the price, but what really
makes it stand out is the fantastic service we got from everybody. For example,
the concierge who went the extra mile to explain to us in detail bus routes to
Ballard and how to walk the locks to Discovery Park, the barman who has worked
there for years and takes pride in explaining the history of each cocktail you
choose. Basically every member of staff we came across, from chambermaids to
front desk to porters to member of staff in charge of gym/pool seemed to take a
real professional pride in providing service with a smile. Superb.

We stayed at the Fairmont as a break from an 18 day boating trip. We had stayed
at the Fairmont chain in Whistler, Banff and Lake Louise in the past and were
delighted that the Fairmont Olympic surpassed our previous stays. We took the
bed and breakfast package and were rewarded with a 5 star meal each morning. The
room had a separate sitting area and each had a flat screen television.
Everything was 5 star including a complimentary Lexus limo that would take you
to any destination downtown - note the limo will not take any luggage

Stayed at Pan Pacific on front end of Alaskan cruise trip and Fairmont at back
end; which was a smart choice for a day in Seattle after a week on the sea.
The Fairmont is a superior hotel and situated (downtown) perfectly for a visit
to Seattle. Rooms are truly luxurious and the indoor pool complex is top-rate
and a perfect way to sit and relax, read, use the oversized whirlpool, or the
health club. Lobby is spacious, rooms and hallways are brightly and exquisively
decorated, and the hotel has a nice bar, breakfast room, and restaurant.
Bargain rates can be gotten by surfing the various websites. I am a very
discriminating traveler and this hotel met my highest expectations.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Fairmont. The location was perfect and was
within walking distance from Pike's Market. The rooms were elegant and well
appointed. The toiletries were nice, and a bathrobe was provided. Service was
top notch the entire time. The pool and fitness area were spacious and well
maintained. I also had great seafood at one of their restaurants, Shuckers.

We really enjoyed the large pool area and dined and played there. Close to lots
of attractions and shopping. Nice, clean rooms.

There were a number of us staying at this hotel for Seattle Pride weekend. The
check-in process was friendly, professional and efficient. We had a ton of
luggage, and the bellman did a good job dispatching it in a timely fashion. The
front desk agent was responsive to our requests, and was immediate in pointing
out a service interruption that was going to occur as a result of the Seattle
Pride Parade. I found the hallways of the hotel a bit like something you'd see
in the Shining - but the lobby was incredible! Our room was tastefully
appointed, with a nice marble bathroom and furnishings that fit the era of the
room. The flat screen TV in the armoire was quite a bit larger than is typical
in luxury hotels, and the minibar was well-stocked. The bellman was very
accommodating when it came to the champagne we had brought ourselves - fetching
us a champagne bucket with ice, as well as several champagne flutes. Overnight
room service was better than expected - with numerous hot items available to
order. The pool and fitness center were great - the attendant in the fitness
center offered us bottled water as we entered. Overall I would say that the
decor is very nice, and the service stood out as impeccable. I'd definitely stay
here again!

Fantastic rooms, spacious and great views. Very elegant in-house restaurant and
great location. Staff were very welcoming. Close to downtown shopping and sights
and yet away from the noise.

The service there was great they had a indoor swimming pool, a gym, and lots
more! It was also located right in the middle of town so everywhere was walking
distince! The hotel rooms were a little out dated but other than that it was
FANTASTIC!

Returned to the Olympic and not disappointed. Can't be the location, and the
service has been outstanding. Happy hour at Shuckers is one of the best deals in
town for great seafood snacks... forget dinner! Only complaint is some of the
little expenses that add up: overnight parking, internet usage (sign up for the
President's Club to avoid!) and charges in the business office. Otherwise, one
happy camper!

Checked in late at night after walking out of the nearby awful Hotel Monaco.
They had a room available for me immediately, had quick room service dinner
brought up promptly that was excellent. Room while old-fashioned for my trendier
style preferences was very comfortable and great to sleep in. Recommended.

Let me start by saying the lobby was beautiful. The service staff was wonderful
and helpful. We were lucky enough to have only paid $50 for this room which was
a deluxe room. I was just not impressed. I could have stayed at the Marriott and
gotten the same room. The sink was also dirty. Beds are ok, nothing special. We
were on the 8th floor and had a nice view. Walls were thin, could here the
people enjoying themselves in the room next to us. They are making an effort to
be environmentally friendly though. I like that.

The only way to sleep in Seattle.
Couldn't say enough good things about this hotel, the location is perfect right
in the heart of the city, the rooms are great, facilities excellent but the best
thing has to be the staff. Everyone was fantastic without exception.
The concierge team were so helpful even managing to arrange a tennis match for
me whilst i was there. A big thanks must go to Christopher Cho for helping with
this!
I would recommend this hotel to anyone and if we are back in Seattle, we will
definitely stay here!!
Wouldn't consider anywhere else. |
