Fairmont Olympic Hotel

Add to wishlist Contact us

Positioned on downtown Seattle’s University Street, the Fairmont Olympic Hotel is a lavish and opulent retreat that encapsulates the old-world charm of the Italian Renaissance.

The property showcases 450 spacious and comfortable rooms and suites that are decorated with traditional period furnishings. There are two dining options at the hotel, The Georgian that serves contemporary Pacific Northwest cuisine and the casual but popular oyster bar Shuckers. The property boasts a well-equipped health club with an indoor swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a sauna and a gym.

Why we like Fairmont Olympic Hotel

This fabled hotel offers magnificent architecture and a lovely Terrace Lounge, which offers a daily happy hour and some of the best live music in Seattle every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Sit back and sip on a creative cocktail or artisanal beer while sampling a selection of tapas-inspired appetisers.

Activities

The Fairmont Olympic Hotel offer behind the scenes cuisine tours at the world-famous Pike Place Market or through Capitol Hill to give visitors a taste of Pacific Northwest. The Golf Club at Newcastle is located just twenty minutes away.
