16 Best Hotels in Seattle, From Downtown to University District | Condé Nast Traveler

"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

The State Hotel

"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

Seattle, Washington, Weekend Guide: Sculpture Gardens, Kayak Rides, and Shellfish | Condé Nast Traveler

"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."

Where to Eat and Drink in Seattle on Halloween 2019 - Eater Seattle

"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

The pictures on the website we booked on the night before did not do this awesome Hotel justice. This place was awesome and amazing inside and out. Genuinely nice people with good service. They upgraded our room to the view side of Pike Street Market and the Puget Sound, even though we booked the non-view side to save money. They let us check in 3 hours early and they have the QR code for the parking garage that is only half a block down. Everything is in walking distance and made our trip to Seattle feel new again even though I have lived in the area and visited many times before. The hotel decor was awesome and completely blows away other high end name brands hotels. The food and drinks were awesome. I’m a rum and coke guy but the Manhattan and the espresso martini were delicious. This place made us feel young again and was genuinely a really cool place and the location was perfect. We didn’t expect it to be so close to Pike Street Market and the piers. It was the best experience since probably our honeymoon at a Sandals Resort, but of course it’s not a Sandals, it was just an amazing atmosphere, experience and location.

My family and I had a wonderful experience at The State Hotel and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Seattle. From the time we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was seamless and enjoyable. The level of service we received here was some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The location is unbeatable—just steps from Pike Place Market and surrounded by great restaurants, shops, and the vibrant energy of downtown Seattle. The hotel itself has a unique and stylish decor that really adds to the charm and character of the place. Our room was a bit on the smaller side, but it was extremely clean and thoughtfully decorated. On the night we arrived, the hotel was hosting an art event with complimentary wine, which was such a fun and unexpected touch. The next morning, we enjoyed complimentary coffee, which was a great way to start the day. As part of our stay, we also received a $15 token to use at their restaurant, which turned out to be excellent—delicious food and a great atmosphere. Another highlight was how the hotel staff helped us arrange a taxi service to and from our cruise terminal, and stored our luggage when we returned, which made our trip feel completely stress-free. We are so grateful. All in all, The State Hotel made our visit to Seattle extra special. The exceptional service, perfect location, and thoughtful amenities make this a place I’d absolutely stay at again!

We came to Seattle for a wedding but wanted to experience a little bit of the city for the night we were there. I was so pleased with our stay here! The location is great, we walked to every spot we needed from here. The rooms are well decorated, comfy, and a perfect size! When we arrived, Dixie was so great to us- answering all of our questions and helping us get what we needed and even offering some tips about the area. When we come back to Seattle, we will definitely be staying here again! Thank y’all and thank you Dixie!!

Hip, clean, safe smaller boutique hotel steps from Pike Place Market. Highly recommend for a short vacation stay in Seattle. The rooftop bar is a gem (pictures in other posts are spot on) and Ben Paris is a tasty and convenient restaurant option, especially with the $15 / day voucher to use. ||Also want to add that we were charged exactly as quoted in the booking. No surprise fees and the $8 in-room water bottles were clearly labeled and easy to avoid if you don't want them.

We lived on Union Street near the State Hotel for a decade or more, and after we moved to California we visit often -- and we really like the Pike Market location, so we wanted a hotel located there. We tried the very stylish restaurant (Ben Paris) when it was renovated and opened, and that led us to try the State Hotel instead of the Fairmont Hotel. We could not have been more pleased, and now the State Hotel is the only place we stay when we visit Seattle. In our joint opinion, it has the BEST location and ambience of any hotel in the city.

We stayed here for our son’s engagement gathering, and I can’t say enough about the incredible service we received from Cara and Haneen. From the start, they went above and beyond — helping us secure the perfect room, arranging early check-in, and even calling us the moment it was ready.||Despite traffic delays from the Pride Parade, we arrived just five minutes after our son, and thanks to Haneen’s swift check-in and Cara’s thoughtfulness, the room was already beautifully set with flowers from Pike Place Market — something she did just to help us, knowing we wouldn’t have time to decorate.||Haneen kindly brought all our family’s drinks to the room, and together they made sure everything — including chilled champagne — was ready and perfect. They showed true hospitality and care in every detail. We feel incredibly grateful they were part of this special moment. Absolute gems in the world of hospitality!||The room was also spectacular with awesome views and plenty of room for a small family gathering of our size, around 7 people but the terrace could definitely accommodate more. It was a beautiful experience all the way around! ||We would definitely recommend to family and friends!

We can't recommend this hotel enough! Our first trip to Seattle and this hotel was perfect. Everything from check-in to drinks on the rooftop to dining at Ben Paris was a great experience. A short walk to just about everything. Shout out to Ed for the great rooftop drinks and to Adam for some excellent craft cocktails while we sat at the bar at Ben Paris.

Stayed here for 3 nights. Lovely chic hotel with modern interiors and an unbeatable location steps from Pike's Market, the SAM, and the waterfront. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and the front desk very accommodating providing a box fan and fridge during our stay--thanks Noah! The sky terrace was a nice perch to catch the sunset over the sound. The restaurant was delectable for brunch and lunch--i could eat everything on that menu. Great home base if you're looking to eat and walk your way thru the emerald city.

A beacon of light in a dark city. Staff is very courteous. Amenities are great. Rooms are pristine. I'm very proud of this hotel.

Location: Hotel is a couple minutes walk from Pike place. There's a target next door too so if you forget any essentials you can head right over there. 10 minute drive from Starbucks Reserve and 6-10 minutes from the Space Needle/Chihuly Glass Museum. Parking: There's some parking garages across the street. I don't know why some of the prior comments said it wasn't anywhere close it was really right there lol the State hotel has a partnership with one of the garages that's off of 2nd street (located diagonally from the hotel) so it turned out to be $55 for two nights. Food: Ben Paris is downstairs and they gave us 2 $15 coupons for the restaurant! Super cute place and seemed busy the entire time we were there. Customer service was great the ladies in front were super sweet and helpful! Would love to come back here again!

Can't get much closer to all the action in Seattle than The State Hotel, that waterfront sunset says it all. Did you know there are 220+ independently owned shops & restaurants inside Pike Place Market? Make sure to brunch at Ben Paris -- and get the apple poptart!

This hotel is extremely conveniently placed within a very short walking distance to pike's place, this made it super easy to get up and be there in less than 5 mins. I also have nothing but great things to say about the hotel front desk staff, the room wasn't very clean but the hotel staff was very helpful in assisting us with anything we needed to make our stay more comfortable! Very quick and attentive! Another issue is that since you are close to pike's place with heavy traffic, it can become a sketchier area when you are out at night. All in all, I would stay here again for the convenience!

Paid more than our usual price range for a one-night stay in Seattle but it was worth it. We couldn't check-in early but we were able to drop off our bags and walk around town then check in a hour later(still before normal check-in time). We were glad that the hotel had secured garage parking down the street with in and out privileges. This parking option was cheaper than the other downtown hotels in the area. Our room looked out to the street, nothing special. No fridge. Bathroom was clean and bed comfy. We were excited about the outdoor terrace on the top floor looking over Pike's Market and the Puget Sound. We bought food from Pike's,  picked up drinks, and had the terrace all to ourselves. There is a restaurant downstairs that was busy all the time. Front desk was friendly.  Light breakfast is available in the lobby. Loved the location. Would stay here again.

Awful. Bare minimum. Like camping except not -- because you're squeezed into a tight space with no fresh air and possibly a thermostat that can only be operated by the front desk. 2 guests? 1 robe naturally. Need water? Ask at front desk, and he sends you to Target across the street. Guess he forgot he worked in a hotel. We later found complimentary water sitting out in lounge that the employee doesn't know about?! Check in? Prepare to pull into a tiny space on street while busses honk at you and no staff offers to help. Fridge in room? Nope? Wine glasses? Nope. Silverware for the delivery you're forced to order on door dash? Nada. Extra towels? Nope. Room for your suitcase or luggage wrack? Nopeeee. Open restaurant downstairs past 8 pm? No. You give them your $ and it's survive for yourself after that. Literally over 100 prescription pills of various types when you open the drawer from a previous guest? Yep! Check out 2 nights earlier to move to the Hyatt, and have this ridiculous hotel extort your credit card with the booking agent for those 2 nights, even though you were promised a refund? Also a yes. This hotel is a huge no. For no other reason than they're not even cleaning properly between guests. Finding a ton of pills was beyond disturbing. Not sure what's going on with this place but it is nothing good. Sorry.

Great location, very clean, and staff are friendly. Loved this hotel! Didn't make it a 5 star because there aren't any simple breakfast options that can be used with the tokens. I ended up not using mine cause there wasn't anything that I wanted.

This is a very cute boutique hotel which was nice , cute and comfortable. We mostly loved the location which was practically attached to Pikes market which we walked to several times. We also loved the restaurant attached to the hotel and we had a great breakfast. Also the price was reasonable compared to some of the others around.

Stayed 4 nights and moved rooms 4 times. I originally booked top floor balcony. A nice big room facing the city, but was unable to sleep there because the HVAC was directly above the room and practically vibrating the walls!?!? I moved down to a lower floor, and following day was talked into another top floor, water facing room at the other side of the building. Unfortunately also very loud. It really is insane. I eventually was told "people who have trouble sleeping often complain" .... But, I don't have trouble sleeping. FYI, the rooms are not all the same or have the same bathroom, so Im suggesting future guests go up and take a look at the room before finalizing check in. That being said, everything else was smooth sailing. great location, good breakfast, lovely staff, parking... etc.

The hotel is near the Pike Place Market and all of the important places in Seattle which is super convenient. A much better location than one of the hotels near the airport. The people here have been nothing but friendly and hospitable. Thanks for making my trip to Seattle a pleasant one! Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of the hotel itself but I included some pictures of places in the vicinity of the hotel!

I really enjoyed staying in this hotel. It was very clean, and even the lobby was nice to hang out in. I checked in very late after a long train ride and I was thankful check in was extremely easy. The robes in the rooms are awesome!!! I honestly wanted to ask about taking one! They are not just your basic robe, they're sweatshirt robes! I loved lounging in mine and relaxing. As a plus size traveler, it's difficult to find robes that fit, so this was especially exciting for me. The bed was extremely comfortable and I fell asleep scrolling through the tv channels they had. The location is unbeatable. I walked quickly and easily to pike place market without having to endure the inclines on other streets nearby. As a Floridian I didn't think about the city not being flat, so I'm glad I made the choice of hotel I did. I only stayed one night in this hotel but if I find myself in Seattle again I'll be looking to book here first.

We stayed here right after our cruise returned from Alaska. We weren't sure what to expect since the area in downtown Seattle seemed like it could be a little sketchy (first time visitor looking to return!) But the hotel and the accompanying restaurant (Ben Paris) are great! The room was spacious and well kept. It also had air conditioning which was a must for us. It was close to pretty much everything we wanted to see (literally a less than 5 min walk to Pike place and only 15 to the underground tours). It also had a terrace with a beautiful view. The restaurant was superb and the guest service was great! The front desk allowed us to check in early as they had a room available (and we were exhausted since it was early in the morning). Everyone who helped us was amazing!

I love the location of the state hotel. I've stayed here a few times over the years. My only complaint is that when checking in at 1:30 pm, I was informed that even though my room was ready I would be charged $25 for early check in fee, unless I wanted to wait until 4 pm to check in , I have never been charged this or told this until that minute, we didn't want to wait until 4 , as we had places to be later and want to drop our bags and freshen up before having run off again , so we paid the $$ . They did offer to hold our bags until 4 , we would of had to rush to get ready for our plans. Both the of the front desk people were very nice and explained that the earlier check in fee was new. It appears they could be under staffed or over work the front desk staff as the one girl was there the entire time we were there!!!

This is a charming and very cute boutique hotel. I love the colorful walls and the simple fixtures that make everything look neat and put together. The staff was very friendly and accommodating during my stay. My room was clean and neat and there were no issues. I wished there was room service available, but there is a restaurant in the lobby for anyone who wants to grab something to eat. The hotel is also conveniently right next to Pike Place Market and is walking distance to the ferry, shops, entertainment etc. Unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy the rooftop since it was raining the whole week, but I'd love to visit again soon.

Love this hotel. Location is perfect. Love the roof top terrace. Restaurant, bar and live music, a perfect combo. The people and amenities are exceptional. Quaint little breakfast bar In morning If you have the option, go for the ocean view. Appreciate the 12:00 checkout. My new favorite hotel.

I had heard of this hotel before but had never stayed. We were only visiting Seattle for a few days so I decided to splurge and get a a pricey room right in downtown by the market. While I love the decor in here, our experience was slightly lackluster. We arrived early (noon) and were told we would get a text when our room was ready. Six hours later, I called them only to be told that my room had been ready fro a while and no explanation was given as to why I did not receive a text after I asked. The room was tiny. I paid for a city view, which I got, but was placed on the third floor so our room just faced the graffiti on the parking garage across the street. I suppose this may hav been because all of the good rooms were snatched up by 6PM. Aside from those complaints, I really liked it here. The modern rustic ethic of the rooms blended nicely with the hipster/quirky decor of the halls and lobby. Every morning there was free fruit coffee and baled good in the lobby that were top notch. You also cannot beat the location. My biggest complaint is that the front desk staff just never seemed all that happy to be there. We did not get one smile even after trying to joke and chat them up multiple times. They did help us print a few things on the morning we checked out, but there service could have been better. PRO TIP: Stop by the restaurant in the lobby and get 10% off your meal. This is NOT you typical hotel cuisine. It may feel silly when you are traveling to just eat at the hotel but you won't be disappointed by this place. So I am giving them four stars because you *should* consider The State Hotel if you are visiting Seattle for a quick 36 Hour tourism trip, but I will not be back unless I get a room at a steep discount.

I liked this hotel and the didn't have any real issues to complain about. My only discomfort was when I checked in and when I would come and go. The staff behind the counter had a major staring problem as if they had never seen a black person before. They wouldn't greet me or say anything but just stare! The only friendly people were the security guards at the door. If you have ever been a service member (i.e) like me .. you know what that's about. Overall I witnessed the staff waive and greet other people without a problem, so if you happen to be Caucasian this is a great hotel for you.

My friend and I stayed here for two nights this past weekend and enjoyed our time here! My favorite part would definitely have to be the overall decor of the actual hotel. The wallpaper was different on each floor and it was great. Pros: - Great location - you can't beat it. It's literally a block from Pike Place. - Parking is only a block away and is secure and safe. They give a discounted overnight rate of $27 which is pretty cheap compared to other parking garages. - Nicely renovated - Lobby amenities were nice: They had a snack card with chips, cookies, etc. Continental breakfast in the morning. Wasn't a huge fan of the pastries as they were kinda dry, but I wasn't there for the pastries. - Price for two nights at $528 in its location wasn't bad at all. - Felt safe considering the location - Lobby had security Cons: - We felt like the hotel boasted their rooftop deck, but it was pretty uneventful. Basically it was just a little corner with two tables. Meh! - No housekeeping...I blame COVID - No hand towels, washcloth, or floor mat - just regular towels - No blowdryer (I intentionally leave mine at home with the expectation they have one...but, no dice) - Bed was horribly uncomfortable...take it with a grain of salt though because I like soft beds and it was firm. We will definitely stay here next time we're in town, but will probably opt for a different room.

We stayed at the state hotel for 2 nights and what we loved the most were: -location: it was just 1 block from pike marketplace making it so convenient to walk and explore -the staff was very friendly -there was hot coffee each morning -the room was very nice and had a modern feel We stayed on the 7th floor and whenever we approached the elevator, we got such a spectacular view of the pike marketplace. They also have a small rooftop area on the 8th floor with some seating and tables, which offered a great view as well. The hotel lobby is connected to Ben Paris, a modern restaurant brunch/dinner spot with a bar. It was really convenient to pop into Ben Paris for their happy hour on Saturday from 4-5pm at the bar and head out to our plans from there. The only thing that I felt was missing was an in-room fridge. I'm the kind of person that often has leftover food and likes to keep my drinks chilled, so I felt that was the only missing aspect from our hotel stay. Other than that, we very much enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this spot.

I loved staying at this hotel! Here's why: -really nice pastries and yogurt for breakfast -the restaurant in the left side of the lobby (Ben Paris) was super accommodating! My spouse and I wanted to pop in just for a drink and an appetizer but they were full with reservations. Totally understandable. But then one of the amazing waiters overheard us talking to the hostess and offered to bring us the drinks to the other side of the lobby - where you check in and there's some really nice cozy seating. -it's walking distance from a lot of great tourist sites. literally around the corner from Pike Place Market. 25 minutes to either Pioneer Sq or the Space Needle and about 20 to the ferry and ferris wheel. -the hallway wall paper was gorgeous! -the rooms were modern and very clean. huge showers.

Stop looking for somewhere else to stay and book here! It's better than the big corporate places and the staff here is so friendly! They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was wonderful. It's clean and your stay includes breakfast/coffee- such a big perk of staying at a boutique hotel! The proximity to everything can't be beat!

Hotel is nice, clean and right next to pike place. Restaurant food here is 'deconstructed' average-ness. Cocktails were fun. Here's the problem; if you're traveling in a sprinter, (as we were), they cannot accommodate your parking. We were towed at 6:00am for parking in the street. I had called the hotel prior, to let them know that I was traveling in a sprinter and was told it wasn't an issue. When I arrived the concierge didn't know where to park my van. So I parked on the street. Not coming back here.

Great location near Pike Place Market and easy to use public transit to get to nearby tourist attractions. The room was a bit tight on space but it was clean and cozy. The only issue in the room was the shower. The shower is poorly designed and allows for water to leak on the floor. Ask for extra towels to avoid a slippery floor. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay!

My husband and I stayed at The State Hotel & were immediately impressed by the beautiful lobby & Raul at the front desk. Raul was so incredibly nice and informative, he helped us get the best room with the most amazing water view. The roof top deck was right down the hall from our room & was the perfect way to watch the sunset along with some drinks from the bar down in the lobby (which were delicious - I got a seattle sour & my husband got the PNW old fashioned). The location alone is what set The State Hotel apart from the rest, it was literally around the corner from Pikes Place and within walking distance to some great spots - try Von's 1000 spirits for some food & drinks! We were able to park our car in a garage that's across the street (2 min walk). Walk to some restaurants for dinner, enjoy a nightcap on the rooftop patio & get a good nights rest on a comfy bed. Skip the chain hotels & do yourself a favor, book at The State Hotel.

Booked here before and loved the hotel. Used a 3rd party hopper after a concert, front desk staff was confused and sent us out into the night without a room. Do yourself a favor skip the state , if they can't book a basic room who knows what else they'll fall short on.

Is it a clean hotel in a great location? Yes. Would I stay here again? Probably not. If you just need a clean room with a fabulous view and a cool vibe, then this is the place for you. It you think you might need a bottle of water or room service or a coffee maker or a mini fridge during your stay, you might want to go somewhere else. I've stayed in a LOT of hotels all over the country and I don't think I've ever stayed somewhere that had less amenities than this hotel. I couldn't even BUY a bottle of water in the lobby if I wanted to. Had to go across the street to Target to stock up for our stay. Oh, and did I mentioned there wasn't any housekeeping during our stay? I didn't mind not having the bed made or getting fresh towels (you can request towels), but not having the trash removed from the room was a little annoying. Whatever, it's a very nice looking hotel with clean rooms and amazing g views (if you chose to pay $$ to face the water). Other than that, not worth the money.

We loved our stay at The State Hotel. Location is perfect as it is close to the public market, lots of restaurants, and attractions. The State Hotel has a beautiful lobby, the restaurant is right there and they offer breakfast in the morning as well. What sets the hotel apart is the level of service we received. I love that the hotel texted us about our reservation. I think that's a great touch and we can also text back which make it sooo much easier. We were quickly greeted and checked in by Raul. His costumer service focus goes above and beyond the call of duty. He knows how to make a guest feel very welcome. He offers an abundance of information as willing to create a guest experience that is beyond compare. The staff was very attentive, frequently checked in with us, and created an experience that made our stay feel like home. Hotel is great, but having a great person like Raul made the hotel even better. Lance & Melanie

Will definitely be back! Everything from check in to check out was wonderful! We received complimentary parking which we have to park in the garage ourselves only a block away! We were able to check in early so we parked out front and brought our things to our room then parked the car. The view from the terrace and windows near elevator were gorgeous. Our room was clean and comfortable. I wasn't expecting it to be so close to Pike Place Market. We only had to walk about two minutes which was amazing. We had breakfast at Ben Paris which I would gladly eat there again even if not staying at the hotel. The girl working the front desk (can't remember her name) was so friendly and helpful and the bartenders that served us at the restaurant were great as well.

I couldn't have been more satisfied with my selection of The State Hotel for our short trip to Seattle this past October. I kept mulling over the options in the Pike Place area (even make a few other reservations) but kept returning back to it. So glad I did. When you are limited on time, location is everything. Thanks to this hotel and AMAZINGLY perfect weather (just check out my rooftop photos), it was a very successful, carefree and fun trip as well as a perfect first introduction to someone else to my fav spots in the PNW. Location. Location. Location. That really is the huge benefit and worthy price tag of this hotel literally a few steps from the market. But going further than that, the hotel stands on its own as being a great hotel and not just mediocrity validated by its convenience and proximity to Pike Place. It is chic, the staff is super friendly, professional and accommodating...and the beds are like dreamy fluffy clouds to sleep on. When I think of my experience here, one word comes to mind: quality. I felt like my money and time was well-spent and the hotel greatly helped enhanced our vacation. With easy access from the link light rail stations, booking a trip as a visitor without a car is a breeze coming directly from the SEA/TAC airport. We arrived around noon and were able to check in for our room early since it was a relatively slow time - major score! Whereas other hotels want to charge you extra for access to your room before 3 or 4pm, they will gladly accommodate if the room is ready. We had the more affordable city view room, which was fine considering all guests have access to the amazing rooftop to view the ocean. I did get a peek at the ocean side when a door was open for housekeeping and I will say, damn, that looked amazing. If you want to pay the extra ~$100/night, you wont be disappointed by that view! Since it was the off-season and a slow week, it really felt like we had the hotel to ourselves. The night we spent had the most incredible sunset and no one else came up to enjoy it! The privacy was nice. The wallpaper art is such a unique feature and upon checking out I learned about the renovation of the building keeping the outside architecture and remodeling throughout within and featuring local artists. My one issue: The bathroom shower is just open with a half glass. Unless you are right under the water, it gets really cold. This shower situation is not for couples! All in all, I give myself a pat on the back for booking with this hotel. All my trips to Seattle have been wonderful; rain or shine, I just adore it and reflecting on each one I have happy memories. But this trip was careful planning and I felt like everything was the right choice. To go even further, its located just a few blocks from a car rental (Alamo/national) so we were able to checkout and walk to pick up a car to continue on our trip up the PNW. I will definitely return on my next visit!

I have stayed at many hotels and this one hands down is so the cleanest . I find that most hotels don't clean their rooms that well. Because I make sure to Clorox commonly touched spaces before getting settled in. So I did it this time and found no dirty or dust anywhere . I was very much impressed and satisfied with that. Check in was easy and efficient. They even let us check in early which was so nice of them. I was expecting just to be able to leave our luggage and they said we have your room ready. The staff was so nice and welcoming here. Also can we talk about location ? It is amazing and so close the the light rail and pike place market. There is also a target directly across the street. The breakfast is as just okay , but they have a lot of fruit! I think the walls are sound proof because I did not hear anyone even the outside noises. Anyways I would stay here again and 10/10 recommend for sure !

This hotel was a nice surprise. We chose it due to its location and it turned out to be magnificent. The employees were amazing. Zach at the front desk was so helpful and remembered us when we returned from our cruise. The restaurant was amazing and Brian a very nice bartender. Both Zach and Brian made us feel welcome. We would recommend this hotel 100%.

Do not stay here. Regret everything about this place. It is a hotel that has it's location as the main selling point but the lack of customer service and amenities will leave you wishing you booked elsewhere. There is only one Valet guy who is never at their stand. I dont think this hotel should offer Valet ($49 overnight parking FYI) 2 massive buses were honking at us when we pulled up to valet. 10 minutes waiting and nothing. I hop out & quickly unload my suitcase because I need to go in there and talk to someone. My husband is almost hit by 3 buses and decides it Is too dangerous & has to drive off. Completely Unacceptable! It took 15 minutes for him to maneuver around traffic to get back. In the meantime, I walk in and do not know where to check in because there isn't an employee in sight! I stand there for a few minutes confused and irritated. See a restaurant to my left, wave down a waitress & gesture that no one is there. A minute later, a guy walks in and I tell him about the valet mess up front! He gets another gentleman, named Gabriel who checks me in and offers me a Lemon Vodka Shot. Confused out of my mind at this point and offended now. Am told valet was busy. The vodka lemon shot is a tactless welcome. First off, I cannot drink alcohol because of my medical condition, so you might want to ask your guests ahead of time if they can drink before holding a shot in your hand. Secondly, an apology would have been great or an offer to have someone help me with my suitcase. Good service means more than a shot! I'm not at a pool party in Vegas. And how do you determine who gets a shot? Will you offer that to the older/elderly people, whom by their facial expressions, regrettably booked here too? A few guests in the elevator asked us if we were displeased with this hotel too and wow, we all shared our opinions that ended with one conclusion; we regret being here at this hotel. Enter the room that has 2 hangers, No iron, no ironing board, No suitcase stand, No coffee machine and zero water bottles. I wanted to find another hotel but we booked through a third party. I didnt want to throw money away like that. So I try to ask for the basics. A man brings an iron and ironing board to my room. I ask him for a suitcase stand, and he says, "yeah we dont have those. We used to but we dont anymore. I dont know why." I guess I'm supposed to lie my suitcase on the floor, bend and hurt my back at my inconvenience and pain. I'm livid. My husband is still driving around to get back to the hotel. I go online, click on their site and leave a voicemail for their Public Relations person Jolene because I needed some management in here! She never calls back but it doesn't matter. My husband finally arrives and asks for a manager. He gets the Front Desk Manager, and I tell Natalie of my entire experience. She is a professional pleasant young lady that did all that she can to help out. Brings not one, but two suitcase racks (even though I was told they didnt have any prior, maybe the guy was lazy idk) more hangers, and then she offers us a bigger room with a terrace. Very nice of her, and She is the only reason why I decided to try and make the best of it. But even that upgrade and her courtesy didnt make up for all this hotel lacks. They use large bottles of shampoo, conditioner and lotion in every room. For sanitary reasons this is not okay. There are many places we have stayed at, that have dispenser machines of shampoo/conditioner, soap and lotion, for the most part, guests cannot open those dispensers so it's sanitary in comparison to these large bottles that anyone before you, can open and add whatever they want to it or worse. The wall mounted dispensaries would be better suited to Keep it sanitized for paying guests. We avoided using it altogether. Checking out: no valet again. Told he was busy. Gabriel saw us waiting and took my husband to the parking lot. Guests outside saw us waiting and a lady was worried they wont get their own rental on time when they fly out Monday after seeing what was going on with us. I feel sorry for their ONE valet guy who is taking all the blame for upper management's inadequate staffing. This establishment needs to get serious about accommodating their paying guests and hire more valet, end their tactless welcome vodka shot, provide basics, More hangers, iron /ironing board, suitcase stands, coffee makers and water bottles like most hotels offer at the same price. They really do not make an effort here to make you happy. SAFETY & CUSTOMER SERVICE are a problem. You take a risk waiting for valet in your car. Bring your own products to shower. Bring extra cash to buy your own coffee . They offer it in their lobby but their coffee is not good. THEIR BOTTOM LINE IS MONEY. WHEN YOU PAY FOR THE ROOM. YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN AFTER THAT. And lastly, Do not stay here. The end.

We enjoyed our short one night stay at The State Hotel in May 2019. It has a modern and chic vibe. This brand new hotel has some pros and cons that I'll list below. PROS: 1. Amazing location - quick walk to Pike Place Market 2. Very courteous and helpful staff. 3. Restaurant on site is convenient (didn't try). 4. Comfortable bed and a strong shower. CONS: 1. Valet parking only; $50 per night. 2. Room was pretty compact, and so was the bathroom. 3. Bathroom sliding door doesn't offer much privacy. 4. No iron. If we find a reasonable rate in the future, we'd definitely consider staying here again.

Thank you for making our Seattle getaway delightful! A couple of things to note. The décor throughout the hotel was aesthetically pleasing AND it was clean! The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. The hotel is located in walking distance of a good amount of places to explore so that was a huge plus. I also liked that the doors are entry only with a hotel key and a guard is parked in the lobby. Like another review said, the roof top deck was smaller in comparison to what I thought, but if you go late at night, bring a drink with you and you'll have a peaceful, beautiful view. Gym was also small, but includes a dance barre and Peloton (who would appreciate these gems). Would we stay here again? Yes, yes, and yes!

This is an old hotel that had been closed down for many years that was recently remodeled and opened under a new name. We found it online as a last minute deal for our stay in Seattle. The hotel has been re-done with a modern, simple, and clean decor. They even give a little sample of adult beverage in the evening hours when you check-in. That's a nice touch! Everyone that worked there was very professional. From the doorman to the servers in the restaurant the service was excellent. As for the rooms, a little on the small side but that was no big deal. The bathrooms were very nice, and the towels were large and soft. The toiletries provided were a good quality, and the bed was very comfortable! The location was perfect as it's right around the corner from pikes market. We were in walking distance of all the touristy spots we wanted to see. I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel.

This place is an amazing place to stay while in Seattle. My girlfriend and I celebrated our 5 year here and they went out their way to make it special. The front desk staff are very kind and always looking to help. They are the type of people to ensure your stay is to your standard and try to find ways to make it special/memorable. The rooms are clean and super modern. The Ben Paris restaurant in the lobby is also a nice spot to grab dinner at, but make reservations in advance!! If you look at their FAQ page on their website you'll see all the accommodations they offer to make sure your stay in Seattle is a good one!! (Picture is a view of the bay sunset from their rooftop)

I mean I really want to leave more stars but there's a lot of little issues. First of all the hotel is gorgeous and right in the middle of everything. Pike place is just walking distance, target is across the street, and you have many bars/restaurants nearby. When I entered the room I felt let down, felt like a box. The room is soo small, there's no mini fridge, no room service. All this is a problem if you're staying awhile. I did a 4 day stay. Also I'm a woman and needed to do my makeup but no full body mirror so I was cramped in the small bathroom with the only mirror in the room. The room was very clean and comfortable though. If that's all you're looking for then this is the place for you. I don't know I felt like not much was offered for the price I paid. Also a $400 charge is added to your card for damages but they'll return the money once you checkout. All in all it's a nice place but not really what I'm looking for.

Leaving this review as I wish someone had left one previously. When I looked up this Hotel, The pictures on the website do not reflect the rooms ( The view towards the pike specifically) If you have a late/almost night arrival forget making it to the hotels restaurant as they close at 8pm and if they are extremely busy they wont take order even if its not 8 yet. There is no vending machines ,no small convenience section. The best thing of this hotel is,you must use your key to get into the different floors of the building (I felt super safe). Upon your arrival the entrance door is also locked and a front desk staff will always open the door for you unless you have already checked in you use your key. This hotel is in a very busy area both day and night so these safety precautions made everything else not as important. Second best thing was the soaps and lotions they were great quality none of that off odor soap other hotels use. Was this wort the price? Not at all. I over spent because I was ordering uber eats on basic necessities because the hotel didn't have anything. Breakfast are just small snacks like pastries ,yogurt and coffee. The Hotel within it self was nice as well as the staff but things could have been better. Edit: there is no close by parking

Love this hotel. Defiantly a great addition to Seattle's downtown area. Walking distance to restraints, bars, Pike Place, shopping, etc. Prices were great. We came for date night a few weeks ago. We spent one night here and had a great time! The Street hotel offers valet parking, roof top deck, workout room, bar/restaurant with outside seating (for great people watching). Complimentary coffee, tea, and cold water in lobby. We will be back soon!

This place looks better online than it is. The rooms are tiny, beds were small and the sheets felt papery, no parking or valet option (though there is a parking garage across the street), and weirdly there is only half of a door on the showers. So water gets all over the bathroom floor. I guess it was supposed to be a cool/minimalistic interior design thing? What you're paying for here is the location and the restaurant/bar downstairs. In my experience and opinion, not a good value given the room quality.

Clean, modern hotel, great location, and super internet speed. Friendly and helpful staff. Some road noise but nothing ear plugs couldn't block.

First the positives: check in was easy, the room was clean with a large tiled shower. The hotel provides a continental breakfast that was lacking in variety, but the blueberry bran muffin I had was good. The hotel is two blocks from Pikes Place Market and a 25 minute walk to Lumen and T-mobile fields. You can also prepay for parking in a nearby parking garage for the extent of your stay. However, the cost (not including parking) to stay for one night was $400. The room was small, with no microwave or mini fridge, no complimentary bottles of water (the lobby does provide cups of orange flavored water). It was not worth the cost.

The hotel is beautiful, location is great! We stayed one night, Prepaid to park, and had a great stay. The staff was great and very helpful. Our room, however, was not clean. We found lots of hair in the shower, sink, bed, in the toilet paper roll (like under the flap, wtf), etc. The glasses and mugs in the room were super dirty, there was only decaf coffee in the room, and there was a condom wrapper in the top drawer of the dresser. And the place smelled like cheap cigars and even cheaper perfume. We prepaid for parking, $57 for 24 hours. When we left early the next morning, we were charged an additional $33. So I paid $90 to park overnight when they told me it would be $27. So all in all, I spent almost $500 to spend one night in a dirty room. Would not recommend.

This place should not be considered a 4 star hotel at all, I've recieved better customer service at 2 star hotels than here. The black woman who checked us in never greeted us, was rude, and failed to inform us that we had to request room service (every other hotel has this already standard). She had promised us a credit to our invoice which we still never received. Staff will never get back to you, took us 3 days to get our invoice to begin with. They will also upcharge you for the parking, 2nd and union parking on the weekend is $11 per day whereas the hotel charges you $30 per day saying it's a "discount rate." One of the worst hotels we've been at.

The rooms are the size of a box. I would recommend staying only if you are spending most of your time outside the hotel. Also service is not efficient. On the first day I got there, I asked for a mini fridge- they said I would have one the next morning as they were sold out but forgot to bring me one so I had to throw out my leftovers. The day after I asked for two towels- again, they forgot to bring those up so when I got back from work I had no towels. The following morning I asked for tissues and soap- again , no one brought those up so I used my facewash to take a shower. Additionally they have no vegan or gluten free snacks or breakfast options in their complimentary breakfast - they don't even offer dairy free milk or creamer to add to your coffee. Also at times when I called down the front desk sounded annoyed , complaining that they were the only person working so I'd have to wait (for the items mentioned above that I never received). I do not like leaving bad reviews and I am more than happy to change my review if I have an improved interaction/experience with this hotel. I gave it three stars because of the location and the view of pike place
