Where to STAY in SEATTLE? The Fairmont Olympic Hotel

I loved my stay at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel in August 2021 before my cruise on the Majestic Princess. It is located in the heart of the city and walking distance to Pike Place Market, the Art Museum and other Seattle treasures!

The hotel first opened in 1924 and during COVID, there was a $25 million dollar restoration project! The main lobby is fully renovated and the new Olympic bar is open! I loved the kinetic art installation above the Olympic Bar which was designed by Spanish design studio Lázaro Rosa-Violán (LRV) to resemble the the original historic logo of the hotel which is a ship that you can still see on the lobby elevator doors. The art installation is made up of over 400 handmade pieces, including metal poles, wooden pieces and decorative items, and it has eight motorized wheels.

There is a hidden bookcase in the main lobby which is not open yet but will be specially for spirit drinkers! I loved the all-day dining and they also have Afternoon Tea on the weekend.

The hotel’s original Italian terrazzo flooring from 1924 was lovingly restored on the staircase and staircase landings. The historic 300-pound crystal chandeliers which presided over decades of celebrations were moved crystal by crystal to the foyer of the Spanish Ballroom.

The original American oak carvings can be seen on the second floor above the lobby bar and you can also enjoy the history walk on the Mezzanine level which includes old photographs, newspaper articles, historical documents and artifacts such as the first guest registry and guest correspondence letters!
