Concierge.com's insider take:

Located in a 12-story Italian Renaissance–style building, the centrally located Fairmont is easily the most luxurious hotel in Seattle. The 450 rooms have a lavish residential feel; marble bathrooms are outfitted with deep soaking tubs and basketfuls of Penhaligon's products. Room renovations, to be completed by 2010, will freshen up this historic hotel's interiors with modern yet regal hues (fewer pastels, more deep wines and blues) and new fixtures and electronics. There are two restaurants on-site: the formal Georgian, with French-inspired Northwest cuisine; and Shuckers, a clubby, oak-paneled oyster bar. Service is top-notch with fun little extras, like a complimentary shoe shine and chocolate-covered strawberries as turndown goodies. Refreshingly, children are welcome; there are plush child-size robes at the concierge desk and complimentary milk and cookies upon check-in.

This 1920s Italian Renaissance–inspired building is "an easy walk from Pike Place Market." Corner suites have parlors with antique furniture. The lobby is "a great place to people-watch." The Georgian, with 20-foot Palladian windows, serves Northwest fare like crisp wild king salmon with candied kumquats.
