    We had a recent stay in Seattle with our two young kids and dogs. It's nice to find a location in downtown that is family friendly as well as dog friendly. Valet was super helpful and friendly. We loved the walkability to the waterfront. Staff was always kind and inviting whenever we had questions or needed help with something. Our room was big and fit all of us perfectly with lots of room to spare. I loved the nice robes and thoughtful yoga mat provided during our stay. Those little extra touches make the stay feel more luxurious.

    One of the best hotels I have ever stayed, even if it was under rennovation during my stay. Both the room and service were extraordinary. First, the room was very quiet -- good sound proof so that I did not hear the construction or vehicles on the road at all, and the air conditioner/heater and fridge operated quitely. Second, some designs in the room made my stay convenient. For example, the hooks in restroom could change directions, so that I was able to hang several clothes and the towel in the same time. Third, I really like the design of my room -- simple but artistic. For example, the lights had elegant shapes, and the hooks near the entrace looked like small birds. Last but not least, the staff who did daily room service paid attention to every details. For example, she helped me fold the clothes and classified them according to usage (sports/daily use/sleeping). She also noticed the side of bed I slept, and put my sleeping T-shirt at that part and put the extra pillows on the other side. These details really made my stay convenient and relaxing! PS: After I expressed my satisfaction of stay to the front desk at check out, he generously gave me a ticket to the art museum nearby!

    Stains everywhere on the curtains and walls.

    I am extremely disappointed with my stay at the Seattle Monaco Kimpton. This is *not* the level of quality I expect from a Kimpton property. The hotel feels incredibly outdated, and the room was in awful condition. Upon arrival, I found a bug floating in the water jug in the lobby provided to customers, which was just the start of the issues. The walls and curtains had stains, and there were red boogers on the shower curtain. The bathroom grout was covered in mold, which was beyond disgusting. The TV was old and couldn't connect to Netflix or AirPlay, making it essentially useless for modern needs. The closet door was chipped, and the bed frame was chipped too--honestly, I lost count of how many things in the room were damaged or worn out. It felt like a cheap inn, not a Kimpton hotel. There was also renovations that wasn't told to us during the time we booked and starting from 9AM it was nonstop banging. Fortunately, we were able to switch rooms, but not without one of the front office staff flipping out on us. To be noted everyone else was fine except for her. This was a far cry from the clean, well-maintained experience I've had at other Kimpton locations. I will not be staying here again. This is however a 10-15 minute walk to Pikes Market Place.

    Room without a view, but described on hotel's website as a King Premium Seattle View.

    The hotel is well situated for going to the symphony which is why I chose it. It's also walking distance to the art museum, Ivar's, and Pike Place Market. However, I felt misled by the room description. The room I reserved was listed as a King Premium Seattle View. When I got to my room, the window looked out at a gray wall with vents in it. I questioned the front desk and they told me that is the correct room. The explanation was that there are no rooms with a view because of the building's location. If that's the case, then I suggest they change the wording on their website to Standard King so one never expects a view. The other thing that was off putting was the $25 resort fee that other reviewers have complained about. It was never explained to me that I could use the money in the hotel restaurant or for snacks in the little snack bar located in the lobby until I was checking out. If I had known earlier, I would definitely have taken advantage and bought myself one of the yummy sounding but incredibly expensive milkshakes I saw advertised there. I guess I should just count my blessings that they alerted me to the funds at all because I was able to snag a $10 chocolate bar, a small bag of chips and a bag of jerky before I walked out the door.

    My stay at the Kimpton could've been better. Prior to arrival, my job booked a High Level Room at a particular rate about 2 months before. We flew in from the East Coast and arrived close to 11 PM. I even got a text earlier that day advising my room is ready. As I walked into the hotel I caught the front desk agents vibe already. The front desk agent seemed annoyed that I distracted her from her book. No smile, no greeting, no nothing. She began checking me in and assumed my co-worker was my romantic partner. She then wrote my room # down for the 3rd floor. My coworker checks in and she gives him a room on the 11th floor. Why does he get a high level room and my room is on the 3rd floor even though I checked in first? I tell her my job booked a high level room and I could tell she cracked a little as I wanted to challenge this. She then says some randomness which I believe is total BS about she provided a complimentary upgrade. She never mentioned this prior and I believe only said this as a line began to form and wanted to toss the blame on me. I exchanged a few word about my stay previously at the W and she began saying views in Seattle are not that good the higher you go. Completely pointless and just poor service. She checks me into a room on the 7th floor and I just take it. I'm still concerned why I was given 3, and my coworker 11 if I checked in first and our reservations were identical. After this experience I noticed a trend. Service at this hotel seems rather bad! Anytime I went into the lobby I wasn't even greeted with a smile or any words. This could be a Seattle thing but I will tell you, poor service was definitely given during my stay!! The room was rather spacious but not quite my style. I'm still appreciative but the décor is a mixture of Vera Bradley meets your grandmothers furniture with flares of modern. I say that not to be funny.... The bedroom also had 2 lights out with broken handles. Would I stay here again. NO! I'd choose the W again or hearing from other colleagues the Olympic Hotel. This experience was not good and I think the management should make sure the night staff is providing the level of service IHG is know for with this tier of hotel.

    My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights and it was fantastic! We had two geriatric dogs with us and the gated dog walking area worked out perfectly for us. The rooms were large and have a mini-fridge. They do have microwaves available upon request. If you're traveling with pets, I would definitely recommend this Kimpton in downtown Seattle. It was quiet, clean, and the people working were great!

    My partner and I enjoyed this hotel stay. The staff were friendly and accommodating; although they ran out of lotion. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel and room were clean. This was also a great location and we didn't have problems finding the hotel or getting rides. I recommend this hotel if you plan to explore the Seattle area!

    I typically don't like "vintage" (or old) hotels, but this was not how I imagined to be and I actually enjoyed staying here. Service - 3.5/5. pretty friendly. Valet guy - 4/5. nice and on time Amenities- 4/5. pet friendly but the pet bed is meant for a small lapdog. Not for our big husky puppy. Shampoo and conditioner (which I hardly ever use the ones available at hotel) are actually nice. Room - 4/5. surprisingly clean and nice looking. Restaurant downstairs - 2.5/5. presentation is good, but nothing we tried were good. They were all greasy and how they put together didn't make sense. Overall, I'd recommend this hotel.

    Nice room  #319 - clean - shower head was broken

    Gorgeous new place on the block!!…read more Stunning new event space right in south lake union/ downtown with sweeping lake union views. Views alone were worth a trip or 4!! Came for the opening of this shiny new spot yesterday. A gorgeous 3,000 square foot event space that was completely remodeled: with in house catering, vendors, event planners, photo booths, musician! And the food. It was like going to a super fun wedding minus the formality of it. The owner was there as well: super passionate and shared the story of how she bought this space sight unseen: took a long process in turning this into a gorgeous space that it is now. It was super cool! And the food!! They allow outside catering too but the in-house catering: Kaspar catering : baos topped with micro greens and mint. Steamed to serve! Poke rolls :delicious! Panna cotta : in a cup! Lisa Dupar catering: this one was fantastic as I've had a chance to taste their food in the past at a wedding. The gorgeous cupcakes, macarons, molasses cookies and stunning cake. All were so pretty! Mark ryan wine! I mean, what's not to love as it's one of the wineries I frequent in Woodinville wine country. My pup baci's favorite too. Luxe Photo Booth: this one was so fun! The 360 Photo Booth!! I've seen them in Time Squares recently as well as at a valentines event. But this one was so much more fun as I didn't have to wait in line or fight the crowd for it. The person that was running it was super friendly and helpful too. The jazz musician was pretty rad too. And they had valet!! Butler Valet: All the friendly guys in uniform waiting for you as you arrived during rush hour in downtown: pretty darn cool. All events should be this cool. I'm only going to events with valet from now on! Ok thanks. Overall, this was such a fun place.I came to check out the space: left with all the food and fun.The space, the team, the design, the music!! And that Photo Booth: all are essential part of throwing an epic event. All events should be this fun!! I guess they will be if you throw them here: weddings, birthdays, corporate events, sweet 16th. I wouldn't mind coming here for a photoshoot: hello contents!!Or just a fun anything event.Did I mention the views?? Ahh the possibilities!!!

This venue is exceptional for so many reasons: not only is it a non-profit venue, but they light over 100 candles for your event and provide so many things that you would typically need to rent at other venues (chairs, tables, glassware, etc.). Also there are so many things for your guests to do in downtown Ballard if your wedding is mainly out-of-town guests like ours was. Nate and the team were so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire process. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to spend our special day at Cathedral Ballard - it was truly so special!!! :)

There is a ground level and an upstairs. Upon coming in staff greeted us and informed us of the going-Ons upstairs. There were 3 bartenders all of whom were very nice. Lots of seating and small music and dancing area. The food was self-serve, buffet style, catered La Cabana. The salsa and guac were good and was nicely laid out. Cathedral donates much of the earnings made from the use of the space and are also known for their candles which I've received as a gift and can say are nicely scented and benefit causes. So, if you see one in a local shop or otherwise it makes a good gift. Not sure they sell them at this actual location of Cathedral though. If you 're looking to host an event or know someone who wants to, Cathedral has a decent space to be rented out with nice staff who will help manage it.

The space itself is full of character and charm, which meant we didn't have to add much decor. GTB already brings the perfect vibe. Between the ballroom, theater, and patio, we had so many beautiful backdrops for every part of our celebration. The catering was incredible - our guests couldn't stop raving about the food, especially the brisket (which the chef loving tended to into the early morning hours). We also loved that we got to do a tasting beforehand, and the team was wonderful about accommodating dietary restrictions. The bar was just as great! Our specialty cocktail and mocktail were both a big hit. Danielle, the venue manager, was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. Her communication and organization were top-notch, and she was so friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. On the day itself, Danielle and the GTB team were calm, detailed-oriented, and took care of everything behind the scenes so we could enjoy our wedding without stress. The in-house florist created stunning arrangements, which made things that much easier for us. Everyone we interacted with was warm and welcoming. GTB is very LGBTQ-affirming, and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. We're still getting compliments from guests about how beautiful and effortless everything felt. Georgetown Ballroom truly gave us the wedding of our dreams.
