Fairmont is located in a very quiet, safe, and well-kept area of Seattle. In fact, I’ve not seen a terrible part of this city and I feel safe to walk everywhere. The hotel is close to the waterfront, the Market, museums, and all manner of food and shopping options. The Fairmont staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and I’d highly recommend staying here!

There was only one person at the reception desk so I had to wait over 10 minutes to check in . Double deluxe room has two full size beds , not queen size so the stay was uncomfortable for a family of four. TV was very small. In addition to the room charge , there is an additional “urban experience” charge.

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.
