  • Adjacent to the Washington State Convention Center — ideal for meeting attendees.
  • Short walk to Pike Place Market, Seattle Art Museum, Benaroya Hall, Westlake Station.
  • Direct downtown access and transit connections (Westlake light rail/monorail nearby).

Choose Sheraton Grand for the closest, most convention-oriented downtown location.

Fairmont Olympic Hotel – Location

Fairmont Olympic Hotel occupies a historic block in central downtown, close to cultural venues and Pike Place Market.

  • Centrally located at 411 University St, within walking distance of Pike Place Market and the waterfront.
  • Near Benaroya Hall, Seattle Central Library and other cultural institutions.
  • Historic hotel setting places public spaces and rooms within a traditional downtown grid.

Choose Fairmont Olympic for a classic downtown address and short walks to Seattle’s cultural core.

Rooms: Contemporary high-rise rooms vs historic luxury rooms

Sheraton Grand Seattle – Rooms

Sheraton Grand offers a large inventory of renovated rooms and suites across 35 floors with club and suite options.

  • 1,236 guest rooms including Deluxe Room, Club Room, and several suite types.
  • Rooms renovated in recent multi-million-dollar transformation completed after 2018.
  • High-floor rooms can offer skyline, Puget Sound, and Cascade Mountain views.

  • Multiple suite levels including Grand Suite, One Bedroom Suites, and Penthouse suites with city or mountain views.
  • Accessible room types and hearing/mobility-accessible configurations available.

Fairmont Olympic suits travelers wanting classic-style rooms and a range of suites up to penthouse level.

Dining & drinks: Multiple casual and upscale options vs refined classic dining

Sheraton Grand Seattle – Dining & drinks

Sheraton Grand has several on-site options for full meals, casual bites, and coffee.

  • Alder & Ash (New American) for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  • Vivienne's Bistro for Asian-fusion lunch and dinner.

  • 4th Avenue Espresso Bar serves American cuisine and to-go breakfasts (hours listed).
  • Bar/lounge available for evening drinks; room service offered.

  • On-site indoor pool and hot tub noted in supplier listing.
