A wonderfully pleasant stay
All in all, a great place to stay in Seattle. Convenient freeway access, courteous staff, a prompt check in experience with great in-room amenities. The restaurant on site is a welcome addition.
My only gripe during our stay was that it took 15 minutes to get someone on the phone to retrieve my vehicle from valet. That’s a first world problem in my book.

Grand Hotel in Not Grand City
The Fairmont in Seattle is a beautiful historic hotel. We had a huge suite and great stay. Historic Olympic bar is great and hidden cocktail behind book cases is very cool. Good location at nicer end of city, the rest of the city is half empty and full of drug addict homeless people. I wouldn’t even recommend walking it in the day let alone evening. Spent a day out at Bellevue and it was much nicer.

The hotel is very nice the staff is very friendly and on top of everything. The only thing is the rooms needs a little upgrade. The wallpaper in the bathroom are old and dirty . There was some scratches on the furniture and walls , kind of felt like it’s was a 3 star room instead of 5 star

Low shower pressure
Shower pressure was very low. It was hard to take shower in that pressure.
Rest assured it is a nice hotel
Leen at reception was very kind and helpful. All attractions are walking distance. I wish they had good shower pressure as well.
