Which Seattle hotel is better?

Well, I've stayed at the Grand Hyatt Seattle and it was lovely. very convenient to everything. Arm and a leg for parking of course.

Given the choice, I'd still give the Fairmont Olympic a try, as it is a beautiful historic hotel. And luxurious hotels are not that big a deal as I'm not spending tons of time in the room, and quirks don't bother me. And it's not a life decision, ya know?

That's a tough choice - They are both very nice, but it's kind of like comparing apples and oranges. The Olympic is a one-of-a-kind beautiful old historic hotel whereas the Grand Hyatt is fairly new and pretty similar to all of the Hyatt hotels in the chain. You might find it useful to read the ratings and reviews of each on trip adviser. Fairmont Olympic Hotel: http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3894326-10775740?URL=...

Personally I lean toward the unique and historic.

I have stayed at the Grand hyatt and the only nice part about it was the bathroom it was amazing. The fairmont is really nice never stayed there, but thats where the new york yankees and other teams stay when they are in town.
