Editorial Review for The Fairmont Olympic Hotel – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Neither opulent nor flashy, this hotel is hands-down elegant. Built in 1924 as the Olympic, the sturdy brick-and-stone structure is theoretically Italian Renaissance. Periodic renovations have kept the decor posh and the brass gleaming. You can find flashier suites--the Fairmont Olympic version is not more than an extremely nice bedroom--but how many hotels rustle up a teddy bear for your kids? The service is matchless, from managerial staff to housekeeping.

Elegant luxury and so much more

10/24/2006 Posted by blue_highways

The Fairmont Olympic Hotel does not have to compete with other hotels in the area because this hotel is the only one of its kind. A true Grande Dame. From the Brass Leopards which stand guard at the entrance to the thread count of the soft linen, the details embrace you with total luxury. It isn't even necessay to leave the hotel. The Olympic offers everything from fine dinning, brunch and cocktails to a full service spa and very helpful room service. I would recommend that a honeymoon be spent here. Or any special occasion.

Pros: suites to live in

Cons: the suites are always booked

Very average nothing great
