Decorated with local art, the chic, contemporary rooms come with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi and desk areas; some feature bay views. Upgraded rooms add private rooftop terraces. Breakfast (surcharge) is served in a trendy restaurant/bar that has wood floors and high ceilings. There’s also a hip lobby lounge and a rooftop terrace, plus gym and event space.

"In spring 2019, the State Hotel opened the eight-story Eitel building just a stone’s throw from Pike Place Market . The 91 white walled guest rooms are a bit spare but are still upscale and cheery. A Shepard Fairey mural covers the west-facing exterior wall, and Ben Paris, a ground-floor restaurant that quickly became a lunch and happy-hour favorite for local workers. Reasonably priced and perfectly located, this hotel makes a great case for itself as the go-to perch for Seattle tourists." - Jessica Voelker, Naomi Tomky
"Why did this hotel catch your attention? Outside on the west-facing fall you'll spot a huge Shepard Fairey mural. Inside, the colorful and modern lobby, with sunken leather sofas, mismatched Oriental carpets, and bold wallpaper with pops of red and orange, energizes and impresses. Tell us all about the rooms. Any tips on what to book? White walled, with upscale accents and cheery houseplants, the rooms are sparer than the colorful lobby and restaurants. If possible, opt for a room with a west-facing window so you can wake to the blue beauty of Puget Sound. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi? Wi-Fi is fast and free. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at? Locals love Ben Paris, the State Hotel's ground-floor restaurant, for its crispy fried chicken sandwich, delicious cocktails, and whimsical wallpaper featuring giant pheasants and snakes. It also has a terrific pastry counter with to-go treats. How was the service? It's Smooth, friendly, and veers toward the casual. What type of travelers will you find here? This is Seattle’s trendiest hotel, and the crowd reflects that. Fashionable and mostly young, guests are here to see the city—and post plenty of Instagram stories along the way. What about the neighborhood? What else is here? Pike Place Market. The Seattle Art Museum. Nordstrom's elegant flagship store. All of downtown Seattle's delights are right out the door. Although it's generally safe to walk around the area, solo travelers should be cautious late at night. Bottom line: Worth it? Why? Reasonably priced and perfectly located, the State Hotel makes a great case for itself as the go-to perch for Seattle tourists." - Jessica Voelker
"Head back to the State Hotel, which is easily recognizable thanks to a five-story Shepard Fairey mural adorning its exterior. The two-year-old boutique hotel focuses on art, and the cocktails from its house bar and restaurant, Ben Paris, are masterpieces in their own right."
"This restaurant in the State Hotel Downtown is selling an assortment of cocktail kits to-go, including booze. The options range from original concoctions to classics like the negroni and bloody mary." - Megan Hill
"This cocktail lounge in the State Hotel downtown will channel a 1920s speakeasy with a ghoulish twist Thursday night. That means flapper era-specific music and spooky costumes featured prominently, along with specialty drinks such as a Red Witch (with tequila, red wine, and pink peppercorns) and a Corpse Reviver No. 2 (with gin, lillet blanc, and absinthe). There’s also a Scaryaki special, which is a three-course prix fix dinner for $19.20 (get it?), with baby lettuce salad, teriyaki-glazed chicken thighs, and matcha ice cream." - Gabe Guarente
