    The experience was not what we envisioned whatsoever. The small food offerings were not up to Fairmont standard, nor were the included drink options with our package. As a previous Fairmont employee, I expected F&B offerings that were elevated, creative and worth the high end price of our tickets. The DJ was not engaged with the crowd whatsoever until 30 mins til midnight. With such a beautiful venue and ambiance, the space could have transformed to create a more memorable experience for guests. There also wasn’t security or proper check in procedures for said event. Multiple employees passed us and said nothing.

    We did the Fairmont at home dinner for Christmas special. The food was delicious. We ordered for 2-4 people and had enough food for 6-8 Definitely a good option for someone interested in hosting a thanksgiving dinner but shy about the cooking.

    My family and I were visiting our son for the Thanksgiving Holiday in Seattle. A friend recommended the Take Out Dinner Service the hotel offered for Thanksgiving. We ordered a family meal for 8 and it did not disappoint ! It was such an easy process from start to finish. we arrived at the hotel at our designated time, gave the valet staff our name and shortly thereafter another staff member came to our car to greet us and confirm our order. We signed to confirm and our complete holiday meal was wheeled out to our car and loaded up promptly. Once at home, we followed the directions provided with our meal and in less than an hour our meal was ready to enjoy. The turkey was delicious and well seasoned, the mashed potatoes were the biggest hit of the night. Vegetables, salads with dressing, stuffing and bread were also part of our holiday meal. We cannot say enough great things about this first time experience for our family. We are grateful to all that helped prepare and deliver the meal to us. We would highly recommend this dining experience to anyone traveling from out of town for the holidays in Seattle. We would even recommend it if you wanted a hassle free holiday and you lived in the Seattle area.

    This was a fashion show and the reception was in the Spanish Ballroom foyer with the fashion show held in the ballroom. The reception was well done with wine, cocktails and light appetizers. There were also two photobooths that were very popular. The fashion show was well done and seemed to flow smoothly. The fashions were wonderful...edgy but very wearable. Overall it was a wonderful event and even better because a portion of the proceeds are being donated to Seattle Children's Hospital.

     For starters, the food was impeccable. There's always something for someone where you are pescatarian or a vegetarian or a meat lover. You are sure to find something delicious from desserts all the way down to mimosas. We had a great time. It was very energetic and bathrooms were downstairs very clean bathrooms. I highly recommend this event to everyone family night out the Fairmont Olympic special event ballroom was superb with lighting and chandelier to boot. Thank you again for a wonderful time, Olympic Hotel celebrating 100 years, you never disappoint. You are a timeless piece of beauty. We love you, Fairmont Olympic Hotel thank you again again and God bless.

    Attended a Bougie Brunch Drag Show at the hotel, the food was amazing. Such a great selection of items for every palate from prime rib to seafood to frittata and salads to the most amazing presentation of delicious desserts. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. The Fairmont did not disappoint!
