Description: Seattle, WASHINGTON - Olympic Hotel - ARCHITECTURE: The Fairmont Olympic Hotel, originally The Olympic Hotel, is a historic hotel in downtown Seattle, Washington. It was built on the original site of the University of Washington's first campus. The hotel opened in 1924, and in 1979, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 1922, once the lease had gone into effect, the Community Hotel Corporation chose New York architect George B. Post & Son to design the building; the local firm Bebb and Gould—a partnership between Charles Bebb and Carl Gould—were hired as the local supervising architects. Post created an Italian Renaissance design that was popular at the time, and this design remains one of the building's hallmarks today. In the mid-1990s, the University of Washington sold a 64 percent stake in the hotel to Chicago-based real-estate investment firm JMB Realty. In 2003, UW and JMB sold the Olympic to Legacy Hotels, which turned management of the property over to Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. The hotel was renamed The Fairmont Olympic Hotel on July 31, 2003.
