There is a hotel to suit every taste and style of traveler in downtown Seattle. It runs that gamut from luxury to quirky, but there is nothing like the absolutely lucullan Fairmont Olympic Hotel. If you aren’t looking for opulent accommodations, this hotel is still worth a walk down University Street to see. Since opening in 1924, it’s elegantly appointed rooms have hosted several presidents, not to mention a slew of people on several travel advisory websites who have given it excellent ratings. Yes, it’s elegant, but does is have a Tea Room? Of course! It offers tea service daily from twelve until two-thirty. It even includes Champagne, if you like.

For all it’s old-world elegance the Fairmont Olympic’s rates are very reasonable. Starting at 211 a night for a deluxe king room it certainly competes with lesser properties for a good deal. The Fairmont is also home to Shuckers Oyster Bar, one of Seattle oldest oyster bars. Shuckers bar is exactly how you would picture an old Seattle oyster bar, wood paneling, tin ceilings and lots of excellent seafood. If you’ve had your fill of oysters elsewhere, check out the piano bar that features organic martinis. Yes, organic martinis, this is Seattle after all!
