All the extras
My husband and I went overnight to celebrate his 50th birthday.The hotel was absolutely beautiful,with all the special little touches, robes, slippers, turn down service etc. The staff, from the front desk,to the concierge, to the bell staff, could not be more friendly or willing/happy to help with any little detail. Great experience, would have been happy to stay longer!

Outstanding hotel in downtown Seattle
This was our third stay at the Fairmount Olympic and once again one runs out of superlatives to describe the outstanding service, quality appointments and fabulous amenities. Well worth a few extra dollars!

Old World beauty & customer service
Great price for a five star hotel. The lobby was beautiful and our room had all the little touches a high end hotel provides (turn down service, marble countertops, plush robes & slippers). Front desk staff addressed you by name and the health club/swimming pool staff was superb. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Free brewed coffee located by the pool on the second floor. Room service charges $8 for a small pot, plus $3.50 delivery charge and 20% service charge. If all you need is a cup of coffee, head down to the pool area.

I give it a 10!
As a first time traveler to the northwest, I wanted to indulge...and boy did I! I had budgeted a certain amount and came up under budget with the deal from Orbitz! Almost 65% off average rates! The location was phenomenal...2 miles from SafeCo (an easy walk through historic Pioneer Square), .5 miles from Pike Place Market, 4 blocks from the monorail to the Space Needle...great local food on every corner! I couldn't have imagined a better place to stay!

Rock Bottom Brewery is less than 100 yards from the hotel entrance and has some delicious treats. Try the brewery sampler and split an appatizer and entree...you'll be very delighted!

My Emerald City Treat
Loved staying at the Fairmont Olympic! I used to attend tea dances at the Georgian Room on Friday afternoons in the early 80's when I worked downtown, and always loved the experience there. It's still just as lovely and welcoming as it was 25 years ago. My room (king suite) was perfect, large and comfortable, and I slept like I hadn't in months. Loved the decor, and the whole suite was spotless. The New York Times on my doorstep each morning was a great treat!

Beautiful!
This was a wonderful overnight getaway. The service in the Terrace Lounge was superb. The wait staff looked up information on local entertainment and activities. They were extremely helpful, but never intrusive. The staff experience from the valet to bag check was top notch. The room was large, lovely, and well-appointed. It was nice to be treated to such a first class experience!
