Location: South Lake Union vs Downtown

1 Hotel Seattle – Location

1 Hotel Seattle sits in South Lake Union, a short walk to the Space Needle and Amazon Spheres.

  • Close to Amazon corporate campus and The Spheres (about a 5-minute walk).
  • Space Needle and Pike Place Market are reachable on foot (roughly 15 minutes).
  • Neighborhood feels modern and tech-oriented with nearby parks and café culture.

Best if you want a nature-forward hotel near South Lake Union and easy pedestrian access to several city attractions.

Fairmont Olympic Hotel – Location

Fairmont Olympic Hotel is in the heart of downtown Seattle near theaters, shopping, and Pike Place Market.

  • Centrally located — within about a 10-minute walk of Pike Place Market and the Seattle Convention Center Arch Building.
  • Immediate access to downtown shopping, the Seattle Central Business District, and theater venues.
  • Classic urban setting with grand public spaces rather than a neighborhood-park feel.

Best if you want to stay in the downtown core with quick access to cultural venues, business addresses, and the waterfront.

Rooms: modern suites vs historic rooms

1 Hotel Seattle – Rooms

1 Hotel Seattle has 153 rooms and suites that emphasize living greenery and natural materials.

  • Room types include City Room, Hillside Room, Studio Suite, and multiple Space Needle–view suites.
  • In-room amenities include Bamford Spa-formulated toiletries and living plants in many rooms.
  • Some family and connecting room configurations are available; primary booker must be 21+.

Choose 1 Hotel for contemporary, design-forward rooms and a compact, boutique feel.

Fairmont Olympic Hotel – Rooms

Fairmont Olympic offers a large inventory of guest rooms and suites across a historic property.

  • Room types include FAIRMONT ROOM King Mobility Hearing Accessible, DELUXE ROOM King, multiple view suites, and large penthouse suites (Cascade and Olympic).
  • 450 air-conditioned guestrooms with traditional features like marble bathrooms and down comforters.
  • Accessible room options and a range of suite sizes, from 320 sq ft Fairmont Rooms to 3,000 sq ft penthouses.

Choose Fairmont when you want a broad selection of room types, larger suites, and classic luxury room finishes.

Dining & drinks: two distinct food programs

1 Hotel Seattle – Dining & drinks

1 Hotel Seattle has two signature venues: La Loba and Drift plus in-room dining.

  • La Loba: Barcelona/Catalan-inspired dinner and Sunday brunch (open for dinner daily, brunch on Sunday).
  • Drift: café and cocktail bar serving breakfast and all-day café fare, raw bar items, and a cocktail program.
  • Sustainability practices: reusable tableware, no single-use plastic water bottles in venues.

Pick 1 Hotel for modern Mediterranean-leaning dinner and a Pacific Northwest–flavored café/bar in a sustainability-minded setting.

Fairmont Olympic Hotel – Dining & drinks

Fairmont Olympic has multiple dining outlets including a coffee shop/café, two restaurants, and a lobby bar/lounge.

  • 4th Avenue Espresso Bar and a second restaurant plus a bar/lounge; room service is available.
  • To-go breakfasts available daily for a fee; vegan and vegetarian options are listed among menu choices.
  • Dining fits the traditional luxury-hotel model with table service and a formal bar/lounge area.

Pick Fairmont for traditional hotel dining options and a formal lobby bar in a downtown setting.

Pools & signature amenity

1 Hotel Seattle – Pools & signature amenity

1 Hotel Seattle does not have an on-site swimming pool.

  • No pool or hot tub on property — guests can use nearby swimming or waterfront activities off property.
  • Fitness needs handled by The Field House, a 24-hour gym with Peloton bikes and trainers.
  • Amenity fee covers certain fitness/wellness experiences and pet items.

If an on-site pool is a must, 1 Hotel is not the right choice; it focuses more on fitness and in-room wellness.

Fairmont Olympic Hotel – Pools & signature amenity

Fairmont Olympic includes an indoor pool and hot tub as part of its on-site recreational offerings.

  • Indoor pool and a hot tub are available for guests (pool hours and access rules are published by the hotel).
  • Fitness facilities and a full-service spa are available on property for treatments and relaxation.
  • Pool access and spa services are part of the traditional five-star amenity set.

Choose Fairmont if on-site pool and full spa services are important to your stay.

Wellness & nightlife: fitness, spa and evening options

1 Hotel Seattle – Wellness & nightlife

1 Hotel Seattle focuses on in-room wellness items and a full fitness center rather than a full spa.

  • The Field House gym offers Peloton bikes, rowers, trainers, and classes with no extra fee reported for gym use.
  • No traditional on-site spa; guests can rent infrared sauna blankets and book partner spa experiences nearby.
  • Drift hosts a daily Social Hour and evening cocktails; nightlife is neighborhood-style rather than club-focused.

Good for active travelers who prioritize gym facilities and quiet evening drinks in a design-led bar.

Fairmont Olympic Hotel – Wellness & nightlife

Fairmont Olympic provides a traditional hotel spa, salon services, and a formal bar/lounge for evening drinks.

  • Full-service spa with massages, body treatments, facials and a sauna; hair salon and on-site spa services available.
  • Bar/lounge provides a classic downtown evening spot; hotel concierge can arrange theater and nightlife plans.
  • Multilingual staff and expanded guest services align with a full-service luxury experience.

Better if you want on-site spa treatments, salon services, and a formal evening bar in the downtown theater district.
