Our Story

The George is a modern brasserie in the heart of downtown Seattle, celebrating the flavors and spirit of the Pacific Northwest. Originally opened in 1924 as The Georgian Room inside the iconic Fairmont Olympic Hotel, this storied dining room has been reimagined for a new era. Following a dramatic renovation by acclaimed Spanish design studio Lázaro Rosa-Violán, The George artfully blends historic grandeur with fresh, modern style—earning the 2023 Restaurant & Bar Design Award for Best Design, Americas.

Named in tribute to the hotel's original architect, George B. Post, the space features soaring ceilings, Palladian windows, hand-painted maritime tiles, geometric marble floors, and an elegant art-deco bar. Executive Chef Guillermo Carreno showcases hyper-seasonal, locally sourced seafood, dry-aged meats, and sustainable produce from Washington’s farms and foragers. With a 100-seat dining room, an intimate bar and lounge, and a private dining room for 14, The George invites guests to experience Pacific Northwest dining at its finest—where history, innovation, and hospitality come together.
