We celebrated our anniversary at the Fairmont Olympic and it was better than we could have hoped. I was in contact with the concierge team, primarily Shawn, who I want to give a personal shout out and thank you again for making our night so special. He and his staff went above and beyond decorating our room and made an intro for us at the inhouse speakeasy, Founders, for a pre-dinner drink. Founders has to be one of the most legit speakeasies we’ve been to - make sure to make a reservation to stop in for a drink! The Olympic Bar in the lobby is great as well and open late for a perfect night cap with great bartenders and crowd to join. Just hanging out in the gorgeous lobby is an experience of its own.
The room was fantastic with great view and very comfortable space. We did have a little trouble getting the AC to kick on as well as the bedding, pillows and sheets, left you wanting more compared to the quality of everything else in the room/hotel. We took advantage of the gym which had up to date and fantastic equipment. The pool looked wonderful too.
Overall this unique historical building, location to downtown Pike, quality and cleanliness, and staff and service are comparable to none - the Fairmont Olympic is as good as it gets and we’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in Seattle!
