Some hotels host you; the Fairmont Olympic Hotel sweeps you into a story. Opened in 1924 and lovingly restored, this five-star Seattle landmark pairs Old World grandeur with the easygoing warmth of the Pacific Northwest.
Right in the heart of downtown at University Street, the hotel sits minutes from the Pike Place Market, the Seattle Art Museum, and the waterfront, so the best of the Emerald City unfolds in every direction.
The marble-column grand lobby glows like a movie set, the speakeasy-style bar shakes up craft cocktails worth writing home about, and the indoor pool, hot tub, and Penelope The Beauty Bar spa make lazy afternoons feel like a reward. Rooms blend classic elegance with modern ease — plush, quiet, and full of light.
Ideal for: history lovers, celebration weekends, and travelers who want Seattle with a side of timeless glamour.
