Its clientele? Successful business men who had become wealthy from the Klondike Gold Rush. These days, the hotel attracts locals and visitors alike to its restored Northern Lights Dome Room, a restored ballroom whose leaded glass domed ceiling (above) simulates the effects of the Northern Lights. Luckily you don't have to go mining for gold in Alaska to enjoy it! Inside and around the hotel, there is plenty to look at.

While international media converged upon a courthouse in Perugia, back in Knox's hometown of Seattle, friends, family members and even more members of the media gathered in a hotel suite at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Fairmont+Olympic+Hotel/local/2241">Fairmont Olympic Hotel</a> to first, watch the verdict and then later, celebrate.The NY Times reports: <blockquote>On Monday at the hotel, her supporters held hands in anticipation of the verdict, switching between CNN and Fox News.

And much like what happened with the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+W+Austin/local/4761">W Austin</a> the loose window panes were actually from the residences that are attached to the hotel. But what's worse here is that this is the third time windows have fallen from the building since July.Thankfully, no one's been hurt or injured but the glass has cracked the glass awning at the entrance of the hotel and a car was slightly damaged.Needless to say the hotel has finally gotten the idea that all 300 of the tempered-glass windows need to be replaced. juliana 2011-09-02T11:01:36-05:00 Search HotelChatter Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
