The Fairmont Olympic Hotel brings grand tradition and pampering service to downtown Seattle. Carefully blending its 1920s Italian Renaissance heritage with 21st-century hospitality, The Fairmont is conveniently located in Rainier Square, only minutes from the city’s top attractions. The guest rooms and suites are tasteful retreats with floral draperies, soft pastel colors and period furnishings, while fresh fruit and flowers make guests feel at home. The bounty of the Pacific Northwest is the focus at The Georgian, where pale yellow walls and crystal chandeliers set a refined tone. Shuckers is a popular oyster bar at which Seattle’s famous microbrews are savored, and a selection of cocktails is available at The Terrace. Traditional high tea service is a treat worth making time for.
