In early July 2007 we had a Deluxe Executive Suite. The suite was lacking in several ways and certainly doesn't live up to their website description.
For example, they state: "The suites feature a luxurious master bedroom with a well-appointed marble bathroom". However, the bathroom had almost no marble, and its appointments were very ordinary for an average hotel and absolutely doesn't meet the expectations for a hotel that boasts that they are "Pacific Northwest's only AAA Five Diamond hotel". It was not much better than a bath you would find in a Best Western hotel.
The furniture was average at best, with the dresser located far way from the bedroom. The room didn't contain interesting or original art work. It lacked plants or flowers. The suite had 2 small TVs on push carts. The suite had french doors to the bedroom and they were nice. The closet space was very good and a full ironing board was appreciated.
Do not go there on a Sunday or Monday because much of the hotel's dining facilities are shutdown.
You would expect extraordinary service for a hotel of this class but the reception desk in the afternoon and morning was functional but cold. However, the Bell staff and concierge were very helpful. The concierge was able to arrange last minute reservations at Wild Ginger.
In summary, there are many choices in Seattle, and I would not recommend the Fairmont Olympic.
