Timeless Italian Renaissance hotel with opulent decor & amenities
































"Built in the 1920s with opulent Italian Renaissance architecture, the Fairmont Olympic Hotel decks its grand halls with Christmas trees and lavish decorations for the season, and guests can warm up in the glass-solarium–enclosed pool kept at a toasty 83 degrees while still enjoying winter sunlight." - Judy Koutsky

"No hotel in Seattle causes guests to instinctively dress up quite like the Fairmont does: a century‑old civic icon with marble columns, chandeliers, and grand rooms that still stage weddings, galas, and massive holiday displays. I found recent restorations have sharpened the public rooms and refreshed guest floors while keeping the hotel’s Italian‑Renaissance bones intact, and ordering a martini at the stunning Olympic Bar feels like adulting at its best. The indoor swimming pool with a massive adjacent hot tub is the place to be on rainy winter days." - Jessica Voelker

"Hosting the “Big O-lympic Drag Brunch and Show” on June 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the event includes a 360-degree photo booth, a DJ, performances from top Seattle drag queens, and an emcee to be announced; a $90 ticket (plus tax) includes food and a glass of sparkling wine, and a portion of proceeds benefit Seattle Pride." - Harry Cheadle
"Afternoon tea at the Fairmont Olympic is where you go for a fresh Instagram post or when an Eloise At The Plaza-obsessed niece comes to town. Sitting in the gorgeous hotel lobby is a lovely setup, with attentive servers and an air of sophistication. But the tea is mediocre and so is the food. The finger sandwiches tend to be dry and the baked goods fall flat. Come here if you must for the ambiance, but then grab lunch somewhere else afterward." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
