About this adventure

Step into a glittering world of holiday artistry at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Downtown Seattle. Staged continuously throughout Thanksgiving week and the holiday season, the Seattle Festival of Trees showcases over 20 uniquely designed designer Christmas trees lining the grand lobby, mezzanine, and Spanish Foyer of this historic 1924 landmark hotel.\n\nEach tree is individually decorated by master designers and local artists to tell inspiring stories of resilience and hope, honoring patient heroes at Seattle Children Hospital. Free and open to the public daily, the self-guided tour is a cherished family tradition where children can hunt for hidden ornaments and view whimsical miniature train displays. The spacious hotel lobbies offer wide, carpeted corridors that are easily navigated with strollers.
