The Bar/Lounge at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle

"'There are two restaurants on-site: the formal Georgian, with French-inspired Northwest cuisine; and Shuckers, a clubby, oak-paneled oyster bar"

"It has a grand lobby with architecture that evokes the 1920s (the hotel opened in 1924), an impressive clientele list that includes JFK, and one of the oldest oyster bars in the city"

"The "grande dame of Downtown", this "stately" Italian Renaissance "landmark" "takes you back to a different, refined era" with "unbeatable" service and "spacious", "elegant" rooms featuring "comfortable" beds, marble bathrooms and "upscale" amenities; couple that with public spaces that include an "amazing" indoor pool, day spa and "crowd favorite" Shuckers Oyster Bar, plus a location "at the center of it all", and it's no wonder admirers agree it's a "bit expensive, but well worth the price"

"Shuckers is a popular oyster bar at which Seattle’s famous microbrews are savored, and a selection of cocktails is available at The Terrace"

"At the oyster bar Shuckers, the "seafood is superb"

"With 450 rooms and every imaginable service, this place is certainly a splurge, but it’s worth exploring even if you don’t stay here – have an oyster at Shuckers, the oak-paneled hotel bar"

"On-site Shuckers is one of the oldest oyster bars in town, while The Terrace serves up excellent martinis"

"Afternoon tea in the Terrace Lounge, outrageously expensive shopping in the adjacent arcade, and elbows-off-the-table dining at the vaunted Georgian all create a sense of old-world glamour that’s rare in this city"

"The Fairmont’s Terrace Lounge serves up classic cocktails and tasty nibbles, with live piano music Thursday through Saturday"

"Most notable here is the hotel's Terrace lounge and bar with a talented bartender that was one of four chosen to design Fairmont's global cocktail program"
