There are days when the city seems to ask everything of us. And then there are days when we decide to pause—to take a deeper breath, give ourselves time to unwind, and leave feeling a little more like ourselves again.

Inside the beautiful Fairmont Olympic Hotel, PENELOPE & The Beauty Bar offers a restorative escape in the heart of Seattle. Come for a treatment, linger over a leisurely spa day, and enjoy the rare pleasure of feeling miles away without leaving the city.

Start with the reset you need

Renewal can mean different things to different people. It might be a facial tailored to your skin, a massage that gives you time to exhale, or simply a few unhurried hours devoted to your own well-being.

PENELOPE is famous for its facials. Our team offers customized skincare experiences, including Biologique Recherche, oxygen facials, HydraFacial, dermaplaning, and advanced skin treatments. Med spa services and innovative technologies are also available, with recommendations tailored to each guest. Explore our facial and skincare services⁠. 

For a full-body reset, choose from therapeutic massage and restorative body treatments, including body wraps, lymphatic drainage, cupping, and Endospheres Therapy. A little time devoted to the body can make it easier to slow down, release the day’s tension, and return to your routine feeling refreshed. Discover massage and body services⁠. 

Make a day of it

A city escape can be as simple or as indulgent as you wish. Add a manicure or pedicure, a fresh hairstyle or blowout, professional makeup, or lash services. With skincare, massage, hair, nails, and beauty services in one destination, you can create a day that feels entirely your own. See the full spa menu⁠ and plan the combination that suits you. 

Whether you’re getting ready for an evening out, making time for a long-overdue treatment, or simply looking for a change of pace, let the day unfold without rushing. Choose one service or reserve a few. The pleasure is in making the time.

Add a pool and sauna escape

For an extra layer of relaxation, reserve a pool and sauna pass to accompany your spa service. The $95 pass includes 120 minutes of access to the Fairmont Olympic’s indoor pool, sauna, and hot tub, coordinated around your appointment. Passes are available from Sunday at 3 p.m. through Friday at 3 p.m. and are not offered from Friday at 3 p.m. through Sunday at 3 p.m. They’re available only with a booked spa service, in limited quantities, and must be reserved through PENELOPE.

It’s a lovely way to give yourself a little more time: enjoy the water and warmth before or after your treatment, then take a moment to relax before returning to the city.

Leave with a little more glow

Renewal doesn’t require a plane ticket or a full weekend away. Sometimes it begins with a facial chosen just for your skin, a massage that lets you exhale, or the simple decision to set aside a few hours for yourself.

At PENELOPE & The Beauty Bar, you can make space for that reset in the heart of Seattle. Come for the facial we’re known for, stay for a massage, nails, or hair appointment, and let the Fairmont Olympic setting make the everyday feel like an occasion. Whether you live here or are visiting, your city escape is waiting.
