Elite Overview
From the editors of Elite Meetings
The Fairmont Olympic Hotel wrote the book on luxury lodgings in Seattle. Built at the heart of town in 1924, the Italian Renaissance–style palace joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and remains one of the Pacific Northwest’s most celebrated properties. The hotel features 450 guest rooms, including more than 200 suites; the 10,800-square-foot health club and sky-lit pool; and more than 25,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space.
Holding court just a short stroll from such must-see attractions as the Space Needle, Pioneer Square, and Pike Place Market, Seattle’s grand dame hosts many of the city’s most prestigious conferences and social events. All 13 meeting rooms lend an air of importance to the proceedings, whether a business session for 12 delegates in the St. James Boardroom or a celebration for 750 people in the historic Spanish Ballroom.
For guests between banquets—or evenings on the town—the hotel provides two restaurants and a lounge to satisfy every mood and taste, from the ornate grandeur of The Georgian restaurant to the urban appeal of The Terrace piano bar to the warm oak paneling of Shuckers. At the latter, the city’s most venerable oyster bar features 13 types of oysters prepared nine different ways, paired with a connoisseur’s selection of Seattle’s best microbrews.

The Fairmont Olympic Hotel Recognized as #1 Hotel in Seattle
Posted April 16, 2008
Readers of Two Influential Travel Magazines Rank Hotels for Design, Dining, Accommodations, Service and Amenities
(SEATTLE, WA) January 7, 2008 - Two of the most influential travel magazines, Cond Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure, released their annual awards for best hotels around the world and The Fairmont Olympic Hotel was recognized as the best hotel in Seattle.
In Cond Nast Travelers fourteenth annual Gold List, more than 28,000 readers elected 721 of the worlds finest properties and provided comments about what precisely distinguishes each hotel. Rated on criteria including location, activities, service and guestrooms, The Fairmont Olympic Hotel, noted as a distinguished, stately landmark, received the highest score in Seattle, 93.1. This score also placed the Olympic as the #1 hotel in Washington, besting the Inn at the Market, Edgewater, Grand Hyatt, Marriott Waterfront, Salish Lodge & Spa, Davenport Hotel & Tower, Inn at Langley and Willows Lodge.
In Travel + Leisures sixth annual T+L 500, The Fairmont Olympic Hotel earned an impressive score of 83.05, ranking it as the best hotel in Seattle. The hotel was noted for its thoughtful service and not-to-miss Penn Cove oysters in Shuckers. According to Travel + Leisure, their global team of reporters and editors culled the 500 highest-rated hotels from the Worlds Best survey, identified what differentiates each hotel from their competitors and determined what services, amenities and perks not to miss. Hotel Andra, Inn at the Market, Salish Lodge & Spa, The Inn at Langley and Willows Lodge were included in the T+L 500.
Being selected for a list chosen solely by readers shows that travelers associate luxury and style with The Fairmont Olympic Hotel. It is even more rewarding when I see that we outranked some very venerable hotels around the world. It is a testament to the quality of our brands unique, and growing, portfolio, said Dennis Clark, general manager of The Fairmont Olympic Hotel.
