The Fairmont Olympic Hotel

The Fairmont Olympic Hotel Review

Grand and stately, the Fairmont Olympic transports travelers to another time. Between the marble floors, brocade chairs, silk wallpaper, Corinthian columns, massive chandeliers, and sweeping staircases worthy of Rhett Butler, this old-world hotel personifies class and elegance. It's no wonder that so many Seattleites get married in this Renaissance Revival hotel—it's as close to a princess palace as most of us will ever get to experience. Guest rooms are lovely and light, with French Country touches like pale yellow wallpaper and traditional floral patterns. The suites are a popular option for parents with kids—sofa beds are separated from the bedroom, and rollaway beds are available. The well-heeled leisure or business traveler will find everything he or she needs here: elegant dining and afternoon tea at the Georgian; an extensive fitness center with an indoor pool; a full-service business center; in-room massage; and a shopping arcade. Kids are even catered to, with child-size furniture and bathrobes, though wild tots might draw glances.
