Fairmont Olympic Completes Lobby Refurbishment
SEATTLE, WA, December 13, 2005. The historic grand lobby of the Fairmont Olympic Hotel here now has new custom handmade carpeting and elegant furnishings following a $650,000 restoration project.
Completed in November, the lobby renovation extends three floors, from the lower lobby to the spiral staircase leading to the main lobby and the mezzanine.
The new hand-knotted carpets feature nearly 30 rich jewel-toned colors that complement the hotel's warm wood paneling and newly polished marble floors. Additionally, lobby lighting was enhanced and furniture was reupholstered.
