The Fairmont Olympic Hotel

Grandest Dame

What it is

A legend since 1924, with 450 luxe guest rooms, three buzzing restaurants and bars, and a waterfall-fed indoor pool and hot tub under a soaring atrium.

What it isn't

Forgetting the environment. Sustainable initiatives here include beehives on the roof and transforming used cooking oil into biodiesel.

What we think

This has been The (note the capital) hotel in Seattle society for nearly a century. But if you think Fairmont Olympic Hotel has grown stuffy, think twice. Guest rooms have been recently revamped in a palette of serene grays and calming Puget Sound blues; for a roomy floor plan, be sure to book a Deluxe Room (at 430 square feet) or above. Each one is fully stocked with luxuries Frasier and Niles Crane-types practically require: down pillows and duvets; terry bathrobes; refreshment centers; Keurig coffee makers; and gratis Le Labo toiletries. Celebrating something? The penthouse level Olympic Suite is a showstopper, with a grand piano, dining room, and panoramic views over the city below.

You're here because

Everyone from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to President John F. Kennedy stayed here. Just call it White House West.

The Moment

Afternoon tea is one of your favorite modes of self-care, so the fact that the main lobby’s is so exultant—with filet mignon sandwiches and salmon caviar-dusted deviled eggs—will put a spring in your step for the rest of the day.

Restaurants & Bars

Olympic Bar - American cuisine that features local and seasonal ingredients as well as crafted drinks, wine and beer
