    I quite enjoyed this hotel. The gym is decent, there is no sound bleed, the rooms are modern, and the beds are comfy. I didn't get to try the breakfast but it looked wonderful - they also have made-to-order items. The staff are super nice too.

    I stayed at the AC Hotel for one night while in Seattle. The property is tucked away on a side street but still easy to spot from a major highway. Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted by the bellhop and assisted at the front desk by a young woman who seemed new but was friendly and helpful. The check-in process was quick and smooth, and I couldn't resist grabbing one of the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies at the counter--it was delicious. My room was spotless, comfortable, and just what I needed after a long day of travel. For sightseeing, I rented a Lime scooter just outside the hotel and rode to the Space Needle in under 10 minutes. The location is convenient, the staff welcoming, and the hotel well-kept. I would recommend the AC Hotel and look forward to staying here again on my next visit to Seattle.

    Unprofessional staff who were unwilling to compromise or problem solve a very easily fixable circumstance. This hotel has a "passenger loading/unloading zone" directly in front of the hotel. It is identified by a painted white curb extending roughly 30 feet in length. At one end of the painted white curb, there was a cone set up with the word "valet," indicating the area was used for valet purposes only. In front of this posted cone was approx 15-18 feet of legal curb space, having no painted markings or signs indicating that you could not park there. THIS IS WHERE I PARKED. To be clear, their posted "Valet" sign was to the rear of my vehicle. Not in front of it. I would say it was position right about where my rear bumper was. At the other end of the painted white curb, the hotel thought it okay to take possession or approx. 15-18 feet of legal curb space prior to the start or the painted white curb line indicated by another "valet" cone well ahead of the painted white passenger loading space. Moving on, I was informed by the valet attendant that where I parked was only reserved for the hotel valet. I indicated that the area he was referring to was legal parking space and that my car was legally parked. Further, I noted that they didn't have the right to assume legal parking curb space as their own just because they wanted to be able to park at least three vehicles in front of their hotel, which is what he told me. The staff, valet and front desk, stated that my car would possibly get towed if I didn't move the vehicle. I showed the front desk attendant where the curb was marked white and where it wasn't. She acknowledged the difference, but at first she couldn't tell the difference. She proceeded to deflect the issue toward the valet staff, but still contacted/texted her immediate supervisor Sabrina who told her that the city of Seattle would most likely tow my vehicle if it wasn't moved. I advised the front desk to have Sabrina call me directly so there's no middle man. I also knew that they were having immediate and direct contact with each other at this time of the situation. I received no call from Sabrina. Not a good look, Marriott. After waiting approx 10-15 minutes for a call and concluding that it was unlikely that Sabrina was going to call me, right then and there, I decided to move the car from its legal spot, reluctantly. It should be noted, the "preference" of the valet to have room to park three vehicles in front was there, even with my car parked where it was. Now that I moved the car, they now had room for 4 cars. I know some readers may be rolling their eyes, or thinking this is a trivial matter, but the street parking in the area is very limited and the only other logical option is to pay AC Hotel $65 to park valet overnight. So yes, seeing an open space to park and then being told I have to move with really no legal authority, only preference, is super frustrating and bothersome. YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT to occupy legal parking space without a valid permit or authorization from the city. This could have been resolved by acknowledging that I was legally parked, but still asking me politely if I could move based on your related "high hotel occupancy" or any other reasonable or understandable circumstance. Then, if I were unable to find street parking, follow up by offering a complimentary over night valet service for my car. This would have quickly dissolved this hotel-created confusing situation. Instead, you tried to scare your paid guests with the idea that their car would get towed away if not moved. Really? Is that really the best way to resolve an easy parking issue from the confusion that you guys created? The way this issue was "handled/not handled" will always be an issue with me with AC Hotel, Seattle Downtown. Be better. PLEASE MARK AS "USEFUL" IF YOU FOUND THIS POST TO BE HELPFUL IN ANY WAY.

    While visiting Seattle I stayed at the AC Hotel for a few days . The AC hotel is a new hotel newly built /designed. The rooms are very modern , nice and clean . The lobby area is nice and smells really good . The concierge, parking attendant, bar manager were all so kind , helpful and provided top notch service. While my friend and I stayed at the AC we decided to have a few cocktail and appetizers at the bar . All were delicious. The AC hotel is easily accessible to downtown Seattle , Pike Place , shopping, etc. I highly recommend.

    This was the most amazing stay. The hotel is in the heart of downtown and walkable to Pike Place,…read moreLumen Field, and a ton of shops and restaurants. There's only a small area for parking in front of the hotel and it's also the spot for Valet. You'll likely have to post up in the travel lane to check in or drop off your car. The hotel has some unique amenities but I wasn't able to use them for such a short stay. The King corner room far exceeded my expectations. It's spacious and felt pretty luxurious. The star of the room is the soaking tub. It's deep and the water is hot. I especially liked that there's a separate shower. The workspace is nice and there are plenty of plugs for everything. The Nespresso comes stocked and is free to use. The mini bar, not so much, and it's pretty pricy. The bed. THE BED! If I could have brought it home with me I would have. It's lush and it smelled good. Like fresh dryer sheets good. I don't think I've ever said that about a hotel bed before. If you need a firm bed you won't like this one. I didn't have much interaction with the staff but when I did it was pleasant. I am definitely staying here again.

Beds are…read morecomfy, towels are nice and appreciate their current offer of $10 credit at the minibar each night . . . nice touch. Also went to a free yoga class in one of the conferene rooms . . . nice little perk but the lights were too bright and the instructor did not know how to turn down the bright lights (not quite yoga mood). Gym location is not great - below basement so it's small and without any natural light. Because I often use Hyatt points, I find I am usually placed in a room very close to and facing another building/ parking garage . . . making the room very dark and without any view. Sigh . . . so make sure to ask the front desk if you can get a room that doesn't face another building that feels like it's 8 feet away. Arel was kind enough to take the time to find me a better room that was available the next day. Thank you!

    I had a great stay at The Sound Hotel Seattle Belltown and would definitely consider staying here…read moreagain. I booked it partly because it's part of Hilton's Tapestry Collection, so I could earn and redeem Hilton Honors points. That was a huge plus since I was visiting during the World Cup and hotel prices were absolutely wild: close to $800 a night if I had paid out of pocket! The service was excellent from the moment we arrived. There was a bellman opening the door, everyone we interacted with was friendly and accommodating, and it was always easy to grab an Uber right outside the hotel. One feature I really liked was the little pantry in the lobby. It's basically a self-service convenience store stocked with local candy, snacks, wine, beer, and other treats. You scan everything yourself and can charge it directly to your room, which was super convenient. We used our HHonors stay credit to buy a small bottle of Washington State wine and some local chocolates. The hotel has a really fun music theme throughout, and the design is modern with a Scandinavian-inspired feel. As a Gen Xer, I thought the vibe was just plain cool without trying too hard. Our standard King room had huge windows, a spacious sitting area, and clean, minimalist European-style décor that felt fresh and comfortable. The hotel itself was also surprisingly quiet despite being located in an urban area, so we slept really well. The only disappointment was our view. It wasn't much to look at. I was secretly hoping for an upgrade, but no luck. Not a deal breaker, just a minor letdown considering one side of the hotel affords perfect views of the Space Needle. The location is excellent for sightseeing on foot. We walked to Pike Place Market in about 10 minutes, and the Space Needle was also around a 10 minute walk in the opposite direction. Just be prepared for Seattle's hills! They're no joke, and you'll be going up and down some very, very steep streets to get to the waterfront. There are also plenty of great restaurants, bars, shops, and coffee shops within easy walking distance. One thing I'd mention is that while we felt comfortable during the day, after dinner around 10:45 p.m. we decided to take an Uber back from the Pike Place Market area instead of walking back to the hotel because parts of the area felt a little sketchy at night. Seattle has a very serious problem with drug users and unhoused folks, and they can get a little scary. I feel so badly for them, but I also felt a lot safer in an Uber than trying to walk back in the downtown area that late at night. The Sound is a stylish, comfortable hotel with excellent service, a great location, and a fun personality. If you're a Hilton Honors member, it's an especially solid choice when Seattle hotel prices are high.

    The Sound Hotel is a Hilton Tapestry Collection Hotel located in the Belltown neighborhood which is…read morecentrally located to Amazon and the Pikes Market area. The Hotel occupies the first 10 floors of the ARRIVE Building where the floors above are dedicated to the residents and they share the common areas with the hotel guests. Upon arriving at the front desk, I checked in and was told the room would be ready shortly but it was more like 4 hours later. I found the front desk staff to be professional but not very friendly. There is a lounge area on the 7th floor with a bar and indoor / outdoor seating. At night it is particularly nice because there is an electric fire pit with great seating and view of the Space Needle. Again, the bar staff was professional but not very welcoming. The room we stayed in was a corner room but it only had one windows on one wall so the room stayed pretty dark. It was comfortable and cool with very good bedding. The bathroom was great and it even had a heated floor. Check-out was okay eventhough they had to adjust our bill because we were not credited our Hilton Honors credit for both of us in the room which took a while. It seems that the ride share car services wait outside the hotel on cruise ship mornings so getting a car takes only a minute or two. I would stay at this property again with hopes for a more welcoming staff.

Our last two nights of our journey were spent in Seattle at the Shafer Baillie mansion. I would highly recommend staying here. The location was great for getting to downtown and all around. It is close to the Cap Hill neighborhood with shops and restaurants. There is plenty of street parking in the vicinity. The mansion itself is part of what was known as Millionaire's Row. It was built in 1914 and has been well cared for over the years. When we came back from one evening out, we all gathered in the Library and set up some charcuterie and wine to share from our travels. It was so cozy sitting all together and chatting about our adventures. The rooms are historic with modern conveniences. Our room was the Queen Ann Hill. We slept soundly in our comfortable 4 poster bed. There was a helpful step stool for me to climb up as I am vertically challenged. It has original pushbotton light switches. It had a beautiful full length mirror. There was a flatscreen TV, but we had so many wonderful activities we did not use it. The bathroom was updated but still fit with the historic look. There were two showerheads in the tiled shower. Breakfast was lovely. I, personally, have a great deal of food allergies. There was ample selection that I was able to enjoy just as much as anyone else. There were breads and pastries, jams and spreads, yogurt and fresh berries, and a hot breakfast dish. Hard boiled eggs were available as well as cheeses and meats. There was a coffee bar that was available all day that also had tea and cocoa. We sat at the long dining table enjoying each others company and conversation. We got to meet some of the other guests which added to the experience. If we find ourselves back in Seattle, this is where I will want to stay.

The greeters always opened the door for me, the check-in desk staff were courteous and always had a smile, and the checkout process was also quick and ended with an invitation to return to the property the next time I'm in Seattle. As soon as I stepped out of my Uber upon initial arrival, a staff member walked up to open my door and asked if I needed help with my bags. My room was comfortable in every aspect. The temperature controls worked great, the bed was very comfortable and had an adequate number of pillows, the bathroom was well-appointed, and everything was very clean. The bath towels were large, soft, and plush. The frosted door to the water closet was a nice touch for the sake of privacy if you were sharing the space with someone. The shower was not huge but it was more than adequately spacious for me. There were 2 robes hung in the bathroom (though I didn't use them). The small table and chairs near the window were convenient and comfortable to work from. The view from my room was very nice, especially during clear days when you can see the water and the mountains in the distance. The room was always well maintained after the typical morning cleaning as well as during turn down service. I appreciated the staff placing slippers by the bed and how they always nicely arranged my toiletries in the bathroom, replaced used towels with fresh ones, and even placed things on the table in the bedroom (like my charger, earbud case, eyeglass case, and so on) neatly for when I returned. The bar area at the back of the restaurant was a nice little area and had a table large enough for our group of around 8-10 to comfortably sit at while enjoying a nightcap. My breakfast the day I checked out was also high quality and my server Nathan was pleasant, timely, and honest about prep time of some items I wanted to order but was constricted due to a time crunch. In general, every staff member I encountered was pleasant, eager to help, and always smiled and made eye contact when speaking with me. All in all, I had a wonderful experience and have no complaints. This property is one of the top 2-3 Four Seasons hotels I have stayed at over the past several years. I would wholeheartedly stay here again!

This hotel is an excellent choice for those wanting to stay in a waterfront property that's walkable to the cruise terminal as well. Though Four Seasons is not the most cost effective option for a comfortable hotel in downtown Seattle, I highly recommend this hotel based on my recent experience in June 2025. Where to start.... Location, location, location! The hotel is literally a block away from the entrance to Pike Place Market where you can spend days shopping, snacking, and enjoying the views of the water. The views from the hotel room are breathtaking as the Great Wheel (Ferris wheel) and Aquarium are just a few minutes away by foot. From the Four Seasons, we were able to walk to Chinatown in under 30 min (you can also take the train just 2 stops down) and Seattle Center where the Space Needle is located is also walkable and also accessible via monorail. The staff greets you at the door every time you enter and exit, and the lobby is full of surprises like premium coffee and tea in the mornings and a candy bar in the afternoon. Every time our room was serviced, it was done to perfection and then some. The chat function on the app was amazing as I was able to make requests and ask questions with ease. Responses were close to immediate. At the front desk and concierge, staff are also very friendly and treated us with respect and honor. They also provided great advice for food and sightseeing options close by. They never tried to sell me stuff where they would make money off of it. I could go on and on, but I have to say that my family's experience was extremely memorable, and if I could give this place 6 stars, I would. If you're looking for the optimal location for breathtaking views, seconds away from Pike Place Market, and still walkable to the Space Needle, Chinatown, the Convention Center, etc., this is it, y'all!
