We were extremely impressed with the Arctic Club. Our top floor balcony room was spotless. The housekeeping is excellent, as are all of the staff. The Polar Bar is a great place to hang out and read a book with a cocktail. A truly enjoyable 4 star experience at a very good price. And the Seattle Light Rail station is just out the door. We will be back. read more

Arctic Club Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here for the Candlelight concert which was incredible. Highly recommend! The hotel itself is rich with history that you can see and feel. Everything has this old, elegant vibe. The room and bathroom were both very large and comfortable. We never felt cramped anywhere in the hotel. The Polar Bar was fantastic. GREAT drinks and food! All food and drinks have a 20% gratuity added to them. Valet is $75 a night. And it looks like they just park it in the lot right next door. So you might as well just park it yourself. My only complaint was that it got uncomfortably hot in the middle of the night, and when we tried to open a window to let cool air in, the garbage truck's woke us up from 2-3:30AM. Not the hotels fault, but if we stay here again I would definitely ask about getting a portable fan sent to the room. We had a really great time here and would definitely come back for another candlelight show. read more

We recently came here for the first time to see the candlelight concert of ABBA vs Queen. I have never experienced anything like this. I had goosebumps it was so good! I have been telling everyone about this experience. And have now made plans to go back next month with friends to hear Fleetwood Mac!! I highly recommend this experience!!! read more

The Arctic Club is a gorgeous slice of Seattle history wrapped in Beaux-Arts elegance (and a few walrus heads for flair). Our fifth-floor room faced Cherry Street--the same side where Congressman Marion Zioncheck met his untimely end in 1936. Thankfully, our stay was all comfort and zero ghosts. The room was spotless, cozy, and came with a minibar we admirably ignored. The highlight of our visit was the Candlelight Quartet's Halloween Classics concert in the Dome Room. The ambiance was incredible--haunting in the best way--and you can even order drinks and snacks during the show. Bonus points for that. Fun fact: scenes from Stephen King's Rose Red were filmed here! Afterward, we grabbed dinner in the bar and lounge. My crispy Brussels sprouts with shishito peppers were amazing, while my husband's Caesar salad played it safe. I enjoyed a glass of Noughty non-alcoholic sparkling wine, which paired perfectly with the historic vibes. All in all, a fantastic experience that blends history, charm, and just enough spookiness to make it memorable. Can't wait to come back! read more

I had a wonderful stay at the Arctic Club Hotel. My room was comfortable, quiet, and exceedingly clean. The decor is very traditional, but the room had all the modern necessities. The lobby and bar area are also a throwback to an era of 120 years ago, full of photographs of Arctic Club members (all men) who were the backbone of Seattle when it was a center of fishing, mining, lumbering, and finance for the Pacific Northwest. If this offends your modern sensibilities, be warned... Be sure to say hello to the life size polar bear sculpture in the corner and notice the walrus heads in the outdoor frieze on the building. I'd definitely stay here again, should I come back to Seattle in the future. read more

Stayed here 20 years ago and it was wonderful. So came back. Things have changed in a big way (new cost conscious ownership? I don't know). $75 daily parking seems excessive. Apparently limited maintenance. Stagnant stale air in the lobby. And then the room with a joke of an air conditioner - hose taped to the window molding running to a blower to kick up any dust in the room. C'mon! Yes, it's an old building, though proper retrofitting of such things would seem to be a requirement for a hotel of its previous caliber. Not returning - ever. read more

I woke up to alerts on my phone to unauthorized charges and realized it was the hotel that I'm currently staying at the Arctic Club Hotel I went to the front desk to find out why at 1:13 a.m. and my being charged an additional $75 they told me that that is the fee for valeting as a guest. This is posted nowhere and never do they tell you I will never stay here again or trust giving this hotel my card information this is theft and fraud by all accounts!!! read more

Arctic Club Hotel - Arctic hotel club valet entrance - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is amazing. Looks kind of old at first but wait: it's amazing. Great rooms. Lobby is historic and much fun. The breakfast is a bit busy but join the flow and enjoy a really amazing menu. And it's complimentary. The front desk staff is very professional. I did take away one star: the valet staff is the worst. Incompetent and actually rude to customers. I ask for my car for a certain time and was denied it because I did not use the web request. So we had to wait 15 minutes: no other cars were being handled. By the way I gave them $5 every-time they took or retrieved the car-on top of the $45/day rate. But after I was denied my car-no more tips. read more

I had a great stay at the Arctic club. The service was excellent, breakfast met my needs, and the room was beautiful.

We had a great stay at the Artic Club! Room was very large and clean. I loved that they had robes to relax in too. We enjoyed happy hour in the lobby by the fireplace - ambiance was 10/10 in the lobby! They have a pool table and great bar. Everything was also very walkable! We walked to lunch and dinner with friends. Had a great stay and worth the money! read more

What a remarkable place to stay! The staff were some of the nicest people I've met, so the service was spectacular. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you've stepped into a Film Noir, with the Art Deco design and little hidden pieces from the past, such as old top hats, in addition to all the photographs. The room itself was nice and clean, with a very comfortable bed, a stocked minibar, and French-press coffee. What blew me away was the food and cocktails. I wasn't expecting such delicious, well-crafted food and drink. I'm so sad I only got to spend two nights there. I can't wait to go back! read more

Beautiful vintage hotel with great rooms and a super attentive staff. My stay was excellent. My only drawback is the location, nothing is really nearby other than a Starbucks on the next block.

The Arctic Club Hotel has such a cool, classic vibe--the décor is beautiful and gives that historic, timeless feel. The bed was super comfortable, probably one of the best I've slept in at a hotel. We did arrive late and unfortunately there was no doorman on duty, which made things a little tough getting in with a lot of luggage. The bar staff started off a bit rude, but to their credit, they warmed up and the service improved by the end. Overall, it's a unique and stylish place with great comfort, just a couple of small hiccups with service. read more

Great hotel stay at Arctic Hotel in Seattle! This historic hotel had loads of charm and friendly, interesting staff. Never figured out the walrus connection, but enjoyed all the arctic animal references! Had fish and chips and a fabulous cocktail at the bar - the selection of cocktails was extensive and creative! Excellent bar program! Maybe a little pricey (fish and chips was $30), but that's probably pretty on par for Seattle. Fish and chips was delicious with what I think was a house-made tartar sauce and some AMAZING apple slaw! Fries were made with duck fat I think, and very tasty! Bed was comfortable, room was a nice size and there were plenty of in-room amenities (though not a fridge). Breakfast was FREE (made up for the $30 fish and chips!) and was once of the best free breakfasts I've had, with well-seasoned food and an incredible selection of fresh fruit! Would stay here again! read more

Vintage Hotel in Seattle! We normally stay at the Marriott that is close to the stadiums when we come to Seattle for events but they were booked! I found the Arctic not too far away and it looked great so we took a chance and booked a night. Location: From the King Street Train station you can take the 1 line subway 1 stop to Pioneer Square and you're at the door of the hotel so that is amazing. Check in: normally we've been able to take the train up and get into a room early afternoon even with a 4pm check in, Arctic did not have rooms ready when we arrived at noon. No big deal, check in wasn't till 4 anyway. The lobby is large and lots of little seating areas, it's dark but the moodiness fits the era of the building! They kept our bags and we went to find lunch and came back around 2:30 and checked again, they moved us to a different room that was ready to get us in sooner so that was awesome! Some hotels have that texting notice to let you know the room was ready. That would have been nice but definitely not a deal breaker! The room: So well done for a vintage hotel! Building said remodel in 2008?, built in 1914 (1916?) and I was pleasantly surprised with how nice the room was. Comfortable beds. Down pillows. Super cute bathroom. The cabinet with fridge and coffee is awesome although it rattles some. Sitting area with chairs and a desk. Big windows with full room darkening curtains. One thing - bathroom door has a glass window in it. It's textured so not completely see through but for teenage girls They were a little weirded out by that. "don't look mom!" Breakfast: Wow. Typical hotel free breakfast is pretty meh. This one is included at no additional cost and excellent. Check my videos! The eggs and sausage were great. Worlds above other free hotel breakfast. This is definitely my new favorite hotel in Seattle and will stay here every time we come for a show or a game! read more

Room was clean and comfortable, service was great, and everyone working here was kind and welcoming. We were surprised by the amazing food at the polar bar and the free breakfast.

Fantastic experience! It's rare to find a hotel that has historic charm and modern amenities. The architectural touches and historic preservation are charming. The room is beautiful, the HVAC works well, and the blackout curtains work great. Clean gym, free hot breakfast, and friendly and helpful staff. I'll gladly stay here again! read more

Customer service is 8/5 stars. Everyone goes above and beyond to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. There are personalized touches, evidence of respect, and genuine human interaction at every turn. The security guards have been friendly and helpful. The concierge man Jon went out of his way to be inviting, inclusive, and personalize information sharing. But the most outstanding were the bar staff on Saturday night. Mike and Nora had this incredible ability to balance customer orders, bar prep, food delivery, jokes, individualized interactions, and keeping the bar clean/ tidy. My husband spent hours joking with them, slowly sipping on different drinks, and appreciating their professional skills. There were multiple read more

Arctic Club Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I would like to give the hotel 4.5 but no such ranking is available. The only reason why the stay was not perfect is basically the area where the hotel is located. Sadly, Seattle has a really bad homeless population and the Arctic is across the street where they camp and do drugs. The view is great from the hotel...unless you look down to street level. OK, the hotel itself is awesome and the staff excellent. We arrived WAYYY early from a cruise ship and planned a couple of extra days in town to site see and catch a Mariner's game. We were going to walk everywhere as its close to Pioneer Square, Pikes Market and both Lumen and T-Mobile park. However, after seeing the sketchiness of the area, we took a lot of ride share services, especially at night. It was too early to get in to our room (10A), so we left our luggage with the hotel, walked around a little outside, grabbed lunch, and later played pool near the Polar Bar until the room was ready (it was ready a little early too). Later we found out that pool table was over 100 years old! We had booked a classic King, but I'm positive that they upgraded us for free. They put us in a large, corner room King that had a whirlpool tub and was definitely at least 100 square feet larger than the classic room. Amazing room! Again the view was great...until you looked down. Not the hotel's fault though. We ate their continental breakfast buffet both mornings there and it was good. They were running out of certain items during the first day, but we came down at the same time with I think every other person who was staying there. The 2nd day we were way earlier and it was stocked well. We ate dinner once at the bar, food was fresh and good. The bartender and one server were working very hard to get orders out and somehow managed between the two of them. Other than normal city scape sounds (sirens, traffic, etc) the room was quiet and easy to sleep in. The doorman was attentive when we came and went - frankly I'm glad they have him there. He added a safety component for the block. The front desk was also nice and didn't mind any silly questions we had. Check out was smooth and honestly, we wouldn't mind staying here again. Really cool, historic hotel. read more

Really enjoyed this place located in the Artic Hotel. The Polar bar is a classy, old school bar that offers comfortable seating in a fantastic atmosphere. The drinks were well crated and the service was great. My favorite was the Top Hat Sampler as I enjoy a variety of small drinks. However, the Mountain is Out was fantastic. The parmesan truffle fries were a great accompaniment while having some drinks. Overall, it's a great space for drinks and the menu looked great for food.

The entire staff, the food, drinks, and ambiance were all fantastic. Spacious room, comfortable bed, and a great shower. $75 for parking seemed a bit steep, but the quality of the complimentary breakfast more than made up for it. Our toilet didn't work as well and no maintenance staff were onsite, but honestly, the other areas were so special it was not a deal breaker. Really wonderful stay at a charming and fun hotel. We'll certainly return in the future. Would likely give 4.5 stars if it was available. 4 would be too low for how great of an experience it was. read more

Made the reservation with one credit card online but couldn't charge that card when I checked in. Because I contested I'm pretty sure they gave me a lousy room right above the dumpsters, it was very noisy. The room wasn't completely clean. Greasy smudges on the windows. The water never got hot in the bathroom, either the sink or the shower. The body soap was empty in the shower. There was leftover dirty plates on the table for breakfast downstairs even though I had come in right when it opened. I didn't die though, so there's that. read more

Not a good experience . I Don't recommend.. Bartenders were rude at the bar. Then they proceeded to gratuity our drinks, even though we just got one each . Rooms are tiny And dingy . Elevators are so slow, We waited over 10 minutes just to go down to the lobby. someone was dragging chairs and tables around above us at four in the morning ....slept terrible. read more

I'm reviewing the hotel as a venue for the Candlelight Concert held there and the bar in the lobby. We didn't stay in the hotel or have food. Although the location can feel a little unsafe after dark, once you're on property, it felt fine. The entryway is very welcoming and was decorated for the holidays. We got there early so had a drink in the lobby. It was bustling as the concert was sold out. The bartenders were busy but friendly and got drinks quickly. The space for the concert on the second floor was gorgeous. Such a cool room and amplified by the candles and low lighting. I'd definitely come back for another event here. read more

The Candlelight concerts are amazing. The Artic Club restaurant has a great vibe. Highly recommend.

Location steps away from work, attractions, and history Was able to stay at the Arctic Club for work. It was literally a block away from my meetings and when done, adored the history and charm of the hotel. From the Edward S. Curtis photos (a quiet American treasure), to the hats and collars, to the style and bar, there's a lot to like about this hotel. Blocks away are Pike Place Market, access to the boat tours, and a visit to the amazing Seattle Central Library, and Smith Tower. Farther north and a little west are the Amazon Spheres, the Convention Center, shopping, and the like. The only real knock we had was that the room service never came and food options at night were a bit far. read more

This place has always been one of my favorite hotels in Seattle; I guess I am a fan of the older classic places. I have stayed here before many times. Then it was bought by Hilton a number of years ago, then closed during COVID. They even took the door handles off to avoid any riff-raff from happening on the grounds. I was bummed that the place closed and sad to see Hilton off-load it, but recently, it opened again under a small group called the Oxford Collection. They own five other hotels on the West Coast, so I did not know what to expect. Well, we stayed there for New Years and they did an awesome job. Check-in is now down electronically from home, if you wish, to make the process faster when you arrive. Their staff was awesome, the Polar Bar is a must visit and the rooms did not miss a beat. Clean, fresh, well-stocked and comfortable beds. To top it off, they gave me drink coupons when we were heading to Space Needle, which I did not use. I asked during check-out if I could use them again and they said no. Later that night, while at home, the phone rang and they said they applied our drink coupons for the mimosas we had during breakfast. Who does that anymore!! Awesome place and worth checking out. Just make sure you make reservations early this place books fast. Great job guys! read more

There is no vent in the bathroom in the hotel rooms. It is very inconvenient when showering and there is no vent to air out the condensation. During midnight hours the vents make very loud noises. The service is great. The hotel itself has very rich history and interesting architecture. But the building seems very old. Even the door handles seem like they are from the 1900s. The door handles for the bathroom do not work. It almost seems like it is there for decoration. The lobby area is very nice. The drinks are very fun and stronggg. I would recommend staying at the arctic club hotel for the bar, other than that there are better hotels to stay at. read more

Loved the Bartender Mike. He was phenomenal. We stayed in 513, our shower was ice cold. In a very expensive hotel. This was shocking.

Great location. Love the interiors. The details are amazing. The beds & pillows were very comfortable. I want one of those pillows. The bathroom was fantastic. Love the floor tiles. The room has a wonder coffee bar. The breakfast was really delicious. Impressed with the scrambled eggs, the bacon is perfect. Fresh berries. We will stay here again. The only negative is the city itself. My morning walk was about dodging the street zombies & poo on the sidewalk. Felt like I was in the game.. "Last of us". Not Arctics fault.

Really beautiful hotel, with gorgeous lobby and nice rooms. The staff was gracious and helpful. The Polar Bar in the lobby is delightful and the bartenders are brisk and make excellent cocktails.

Nostalgic hotel but the location in downtown Seattle is bad. The area is surrounded by homeless people. James and 3rd Ave corner and up on Cherry st is like their home bases.

I really enjoyed the original woodwork and dining room The included breakfast was also fantastic with the usual hot breakfast treats but also lots of amazing cut up fruits.

Finally I appreciated the entire front desk staff but especially Sharon with her "can do" attitude! Whenever I'm in Seattle I'd love to stay in The Arctic Club. read more
