Sometimes the best vacations aren’t about rushing from one attraction to the next.

They’re about slowing down. Taking time to recharge.

Experiencing a destination in a way that leaves you feeling better than when you arrived.

At PENELOPE & The Beauty Bar, located inside Seattle’s iconic Fairmont Olympic Hotel, we believe wellness should be part of every journey. Whether you’re visiting from Montana, Los Angeles, New York, Dubai, London, Vancouver, or anywhere in between, Seattle offers the perfect balance of luxury, nature, culture, and relaxation—and you don’t need a car to experience much of it.

For the past 15 years, PENELOPE & The Beauty Bar has welcomed travelers and Seattle locals alike, creating personalized spa experiences that pair beautifully with everything the Emerald City has to offer.

Imagine starting your morning with a customized facial, therapeutic massage, Medi Spa treatment, or luxurious body therapy in one of Seattle’s most historic hotels.

Our experienced team creates personalized experiences designed to help you relax, recover from travel, and look your best—whether you’re preparing for meetings, celebrating a special occasion, or simply enjoying time away.

Many guests choose to extend their visit by enjoying the Fairmont Olympic Hotel’s wellness amenities, creating a true urban retreat before heading out to explore the city.

One of the greatest advantages of staying at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel is its central location.

From the moment you leave the hotel, many of Seattle’s most celebrated attractions are within walking distance or easily reached by public transportation.

● Pike Place Market, where local farmers, artisans, fresh seafood, flowers, and specialty foods create one of America’s most iconic public markets.

● The Seattle Waterfront, with scenic walking paths, harbor views, shops, and waterfront restaurants.

● The Seattle Art Museum.

● The historic Pioneer Square neighborhood.

● Luxury shopping in the downtown retail district.

● Benaroya Hall, home of the Seattle Symphony.

● The city’s vibrant collection of cafés, cocktail bars, and award-winning restaurants.

Seattle is a city best experienced at a relaxed pace, where every neighborhood offers something unique.

One of Seattle’s greatest treasures is its remarkable collection of gardens, offering peaceful places to reconnect with nature without leaving the city.

Favorites include:

● The Washington Park Arboretum, featuring hundreds of acres of walking trails, seasonal blooms, and native Pacific Northwest landscapes.

● The Seattle Japanese Garden, a beautifully designed traditional Japanese garden that changes dramatically with every season.

● The Volunteer Park Conservatory, home to tropical plants, rare species, and Victorian-inspired architecture.

● The Carl S. English Jr. Botanical Garden at the Ballard Locks, where colorful gardens surround one of Seattle’s most fascinating engineering landmarks.

Whether you’re visiting in spring, summer, autumn, or winter, Seattle’s gardens offer beauty throughout the year.

No visit to Seattle feels complete without boarding one of the city’s famous ferries.

From downtown, you can easily walk to the ferry terminal and enjoy a scenic crossing to Bainbridge Island, often described as one of the most beautiful ferry rides in North America.

As the skyline fades behind you, you’ll experience panoramic views of Elliott Bay, Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and—on clear days—Mount Rainier.

Once on Bainbridge Island, stroll through Winslow’s charming downtown filled with boutiques, cafés, wine tasting rooms, and locally owned shops.

Nature lovers can also visit the renowned Bloedel Reserve, a 150-acre public garden featuring beautifully designed landscapes, forests, meadows, reflection pools, and tranquil walking paths. It’s one of the Pacific Northwest’s most celebrated garden experiences and a perfect complement to a day centered on wellness.

One of Seattle’s greatest advantages is how much you can experience without driving.

Stay at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel and spend your days walking, riding the ferry, using light rail, or taking a short ride-share to many of the city’s most memorable destinations.

It’s an easy, relaxing way to experience Seattle while spending more time enjoying your vacation and less time navigating traffic or parking.

Return to PENELOPE for the Perfect Ending

After a day exploring Seattle’s neighborhoods, gardens, waterfront, and island scenery, return to PENELOPE & The Beauty Bar for another moment of relaxation.

Whether it’s an evening massage, a restorative facial, a Medi Spa treatment, or simply taking time to unwind, our experienced therapists and estheticians are here to help you end the day feeling refreshed and renewed.

It’s this balance between exploration and restoration that makes Seattle such an exceptional wellness destination.

The Pacific Northwest has long been known for its forests, mountains, waterways, and slower pace of life.

At PENELOPE & The Beauty Bar, we’ve created an experience that reflects those same values—thoughtful care, personalized service, and treatments designed to restore both body and mind.

Spend the morning at the spa.

Enjoy lunch at Pike Place Market or inside the hotel at THE GEORGE.

Visit a Japanese garden or the Washington Park Arboretum. Take a ferry across Puget Sound to Bainbridge Island and explore the beautiful Bloedel Reserve. Return to the Fairmont Olympic Hotel feeling inspired by everything Seattle has to offer. It’s more than a vacation.

It’s a wellness journey.
