This is one of the best hotels in Seattle. An iconic hotel that has kept up with the times. Amazing staff, great rooms, and is so convenient to the best Seattle has to offer. And, great nearby dining options. I stayed in a suite with my two sons, and it was perfect.

Good location. Parking made easy, and nice to have luggage taken to the room. Room is noticeably older, carpet is worn, imperfections on the walls and furniture. Hair on the comforter and towels…fridge is mini bar only so we asked to remove items in order to refrigerate toddler’s medicine. Staff approved but charged us $196, for missing items I told them were unopened on the counter. Would not stay again.

Mostly fantastic, I was a little disappointed when I 06:56 I went to the George for breakfast and I was informed that they opened in 4 mins and to come back in 4 mins. It could have been much better to say hey we are not open for 4 mins but please take a seat and wait for your server who will be with you in 4 mins when we open. She didn’t so I left and went to another hotel in the area and had breakfast with them.

hotel 1/10 if I could give a negative rating I would do it, we paid $500 for the room paid parking FROM THE HOTEL for $80 we stayed for only one night, in the morning we discovered that in the parking FROM THE HOTEL the glass in our car was broken and things worth a HUGE VALUE were stolen, this broke me the amounts of damages are simply colossal, the hotel management does not care at all about you and your property

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.

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

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.
