Century-Old Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle is a Gem in Preservation

The Ramones played there, dignitaries dined there, and locals came in for afternoon tea for 75 cents. The Fairmont Olympic Hotel in downtown Seattle celebrates 100 years in December 2024 with the $25 million renovation of its lobby, bar, restaurant, and meeting spaces under the vision of Spanish design studio Lázaro Rosa-Violán (LRV) with local architecture firm MG2, completed in 2021.
