Festive Season at fairmont olympic
For generations, Fairmont Olympic has delighted guests with its festive holiday traditions and joyful atmosphere. From our Teddy Bear Suite, Holiday Afternoon Tea, our lobby Christmas tree, and more —there’s something for everyone to celebrate with us.

Seattle Festival of Trees
For years, our hotel has been home to a sparkling tradition—glowing Christmas trees, each uniquely designed and filled with holiday magic. Every tree tells a story, honoring a brave young patient. Discover their inspiring journeys as you stroll through this enchanting display. Proceeds from tree sales benefit Seattle Children’s Autism Center and Uncompensated Care, bringing hope and healing to families in need.
Dates: November 17 – December 2

Teddy Bear Suite
A beloved holiday experience, our suite transforms into a teddy bear wonderland filled with nearly 100 bears, twinkling lights, candy canes, a glowing digital fireplace, and a towering Christmas tree. Guests are invited to cuddle up with the bears, capture festive photos, and every child leaves with a special treat. Designed by local talent Kevin Bradford. Donations benefit Seattle Children’s Autism Center and Uncompensated Care.
