Environmentally Friendly Initiatives at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts was founded on an enduring connection to the land and communities where we do business. Remaining true to this principal, the company takes a proactive approach to leading the industry with its Green Hotel Partnership Program focused on sustainable and responsible tourism.
Over the years, The Fairmont Olympic has maintained those principles and initiated programs like our rooftop honeybees, waste and energy minimization, recycling and steam power.

Honey Bees
The hotel maintains five rooftop hives that will be home to a half million honeybees during the summer season. Executive Chef Gavin Stephenson is our Chief Bee Keeper and worked in partnership with Ballard Bee Company’s Corky Luster as a project consultant. The hotel harvested approximately 400 pounds of honey this summer. Try the honey smoked salmon or rooftop honey breakfast-- it is featured prominently on the menu in The Georgian. Or, have a pint of honey ale brewed with Pike Brewery, available on tap at Shuckers.
