The TI project at Fairmont Olympic Hotel was the first major renovation of the historic downtown hotel’s public spaces in 40 years.

Fairmont Olympic Hotel

Location: Seattle

General contractor: Abbott Construction

This was the first major renovation of the historic downtown hotel’s public spaces in 40 years, and focused on highlighting the heritage of the 1924 building while adding modern touches. The occupied renovation covered over 60,000 square feet of the hotel’s common areas including the lobby, Georgian Room, pool and fitness area, as well as nearly all meeting spaces. Abbott rebuilt the lobby into a social hub for guests and locals, with a new central bar. A scaffold was installed throughout the entire space to update the ceiling with new trim and wall coverings. A hidden door off the lobby bar connects to a separate whiskey bar — speakeasy style. The Georgian Room restaurant, defined by its soaring classical framework, received updates including new trim accents, ceiling mirrors, new lighting and chandeliers. The refresh of the event spaces entailed design upgrades, new lighting and technology improvements.
