    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!

    Pride brunch was very well put together by the hotel. The hotel itself is a beautiful place. Love the history, the main bar and even the speakeasy bar.

    Will share we were the last seating for Mother’s Day brunch. But we were just as excited to attend as any of the other timeslots and also paid the same. Several hundred dollars for brunch. This was the first time I have been disappointed with the Olympic Hotel in over 30 years as a customer under both the Four Seasons and Fairmont brands. 1) They offered custom flower bouquets. My Wife was handed a dead bouquet of flowers. (Completely wilted, dead and browning) 2) 15 minutes after seating, I had to go seek a manager to see if we had a server. 3) We were rushed to the Photo Booth as it was closing in 5 minutes. 4) We were eating our salads and were told to rush to the Mother’s Day candy bar as it was closing at 3pm. We rushed over to it and it was packed up and put away. 5) The fresh raspberry bowl was smooshed and smashed into almost a jam. Blueberries were soft. Watermelon warm and runny. Salads wilted. 6) Couldn’t find the waffle chef. (Ever) 7) Ambiance was probably the worst thing. The room was not decorated and was bare. Uninviting and reminded me of a church hall. It was like we were in a different hotel in the Spanish Ballroom. I remember the Spanish ballroom being stunning. I am not sure what has changed but it was sad and dingy. I would ask for my money back and never do that. I wouldn’t know where to call or email but feel very bad about my Wife’s experience and the excitement leading up to going to The Olympic Hotel for Mother’s Day. It was a substantial disappointment.
