Key Features

Dining

Signature Experience

Afternoon tea in the Georgian Room — a Fairmont heritage-property ritual executed in the original 1924 public space with coffered ceilings and period detail.

The 1924 Italian Renaissance Revival architecture gives the property a structural distinction that Seattle's newer luxury hotels can't match. Fairmont's historic-property discipline translates well here.

Signature Suite: Cascade Suite

Spacious living area, dining room, marble bathroom, panoramic city views
