    Things that rocked: the service! Everyone was so nice and on top of it. Very impressed with the staff! The location was also *chefs kiss*. So close to Pike Place and anything you could want to do downtown. Things that did not rock: the actual hotel room was pretty beat up and dingy. The view was no view, we literally overlooked a rooftop full of mechanical equipment. Plus there were coffee spill stains all over the walls/room including the ceiling?? Attaching photos of that for your viewing pleasure. The city noise was loud, but the A/c was making a pretty terrible squeaky noise the whole time it was on. Not my fave hotel stay.

    La Petit Chef - Seattle dinner experience was as whimsical as expected. The Kimpton Palladian Hotel and La Petit chef staff both yielded superb and extremely courteous service. From start to finish our 6 year old was overwhelmed with the kind and thoughtful service he received (he really felt special, he kept saying this place is like Disney!) We selected the 5 course vegetarian meal, and zero proof cocktail pairings both my husband and I were FULL by course 3; needless to state our dishes and cocktails were excellent! Such a delightful and memorable dinner experience that I highly recommend!

    We came here for the Petit Chef experience. First, bar and lobby are cool. They have these funny pictures :D I recommend having a drink at the bar and just enjoy. Dinner took place downstairs. Not at the restaurant. One level down. I guess it is a room for various purposes like meetings or big dinners. I didn't like it thay much. Anyway, this event uses projectors on the ceiling. A cartoon story is projected to your dish. Pretty fun. I guess they need it to be quiet, dark, and windowless because of this. Then staff bring you each course. You can pair it with wine. Note it is a 5 course dinner. It was good, but not to die for. Pricey. Around $500 for 2. I guess because of the story. There is a parking lot right in front by the Moore theater. It gets full soon.

    Perfect place to stay! Quiet. Clean. Convenient. My boyfriend and I stayed here for an extended weekend while we visited Seattle for the first time and had a comfortable stay. It felt super safe. We needed to scan our room key to re-enter the lobby everyday. That made us feel secure. The front desk provided us with a nice and diverse list of local spots to try. PLEASE go to Ludi's and have the most amazing breakfast of your life. Despite this place being pet-friendly it was quite clean and doesn't stink at all. They tidy up WELL. The hotel is also very convenient and walking distance to Pike Place Market and the piers/ferries. If you book this hotel through the AmEx Hotel Collection you can get early check-in (we did at 12:45pm), late check-out and and a free breakfast voucher per day for each guest in your room. GREAT VALUE! The restaurant is worth the visit - yummy! The only downside side was that in our king city view room the bathroom was literally a couple feet next to the bed we slept in.

    For my birthday tonight, HeavenLeigh and I had one of the coolest dining experiences ever at the Kimpton Palladian Hotel in Seattle during their Le Petit Chef dinner experience! If you've never heard of it, it's the cutest, tiniest chef ever -- only about 6mm tall! ‍ The little animated chef literally appears on your table, prepares your meal, and "serves" it right onto your plate. Watching the whole story play out while each course arrives is honestly one of the most unique dining experiences we've ever had! The food was incredible... actually AMAZING. Every course was delicious and beautifully presented. Huge shoutout to the staff who made our night so special: Erin and Angie -- two of the best servers HeavenLeigh and I have ever had. So friendly, attentive, and just wonderful people. ‍ Chef Ryan -- WOW. The food was absolutely phenomenal! The service was top-notch, the dinner show is fun for everyone (kids, adults, and even seniors), and the entire experience is something you'll remember forever. If you're ever in Seattle, you MUST check this out! Just make sure you book online ahead of time so you can reserve your spot. Trust me... it's worth it! #LePetitChef #SeattleWashington #KimptonPalladian #SeattleEats #BirthdayDinner #ImmersiveDining #FoodieExperience #SeattleFoodScene #DinnerShow #BirthdayMemories #TravelEats #FamilyMemories ‍

    Bathroom sink, chic boho decor

    Hotel two blocks away from Pikes Market and one block away from Ludi's diner. I thought the dog friendly welcome station was cute at the reception and the decor was boho chic. We stayed two nights for the Seattle game and the first night, the Moore Hotel had a heavy metal concert next door. Oof. At least the bass stopped around midnight. We had a corner room #405. The room itself was small but comfortable. The bathroom had a shower and a nice large window for fresh air. The armoire also had robes and a small mini fridge. The front desk also mails postcards out for free. The dropped off a post card for both days on 11/25 & 11/26 and just today I received my postcard at home 12/5 in California. Staff was friendly, one elevator was down, we didn't need service and didn't stop by the bar. We had a nice, short stay at the Kimpton Palladium.

    Intimate, upscale hotel 2 blocks from Pike Place Market, 3 blocks from Amazon World HQ, right next to the Moore Theatre, a 10 minute walk to The Crocodile, and centrally located to so much, including the Needle/Climate Pledge Arena, which I walked to in about 20 minutes. All the staff I encountered were very helpful and my room was beautifully decorated. The Atelier Bloem toiletries deserve a mention all their own! The hotel restaurant Shaker + Spear has a fabulous open kitchen, including a Chef's Counter where you can chat with the cooks and see every dish being prepared. I highly recommend the Whole Fried Fish for dinner - the citrus salt is to die for - and the Brioche French Toast for breakfast - so light and flavorful! They also have a speakeasy style bar - Pennyroyal - that specializes in craft cocktails. It's just the right size for a date or a small group. And speaking of cocktails, every night from 5-6 the hotel has a selection of complimentary wine, cocktails, and sparkling NA beverages in the lobby during social hour. Definitely check out the Kimpton Palladian!

    I only stayed one night, but I loved its elegance, from the wall decor to the furniture arrangement. The bar and lobby areas were particularly spacious and inviting. The receptionist was friendly and established rapport with me from the very beginning. The price of a one-night stay for one person was high, but I found an online deal for $211. Seattle hotel prices spike during the spring and summer, so be mindful of that when planning a visit. This location is right in the heart of many of Seattle's attractions, especially for tourists. Everything is within a 5- to 10-minute walking distance of places like Pike Place Market, the mall, and the Seattle Great Wheel. I only spent about five hours in the room because I was out enjoying Seattle's nightlife. I paid for offsite parking, which cost me about $22 for the day and was about a five-minute walk from this establishment. The receptionist mentioned that it would have cost me about $50 more to park there. So keep that in mind when driving. Because they leave such a lasting impression, I shall return for a long stay in the near future.

    David Bowie was in my bed. Adorable hotel in downtown Seattle. Go to the Cellar for a fantastic meal.

    Meh. Stayed here for two nights. Underwhelmed. Like someone else mentioned, status means zilch here. On the website, IHG platinum elite status gets you comp breakfast at certain hotels--which they don't offer. While its never a guarantee, hotels normally try to make an effort or at least mention something~but nada, didn't get a room upgrade either--our view was the construction directly across the street. However, I did get to pick between a snack credit of $10 or 600 points~ On a side note, never saw housekeeping so the tiny trash can was near overflowing (which is understandable had it been explained to me during check in so I wouldn't clean up the room expecting someone to come in). Oh and did I mention water was LUKEWARM for my shower the first morning??? Yes~in frigid Seattle weather. It was just one too many negatives for me. And yes, these are first world issues that really don't matter, but can mean the difference between a customer choosing this hotel versus another down the street. Which is exactly what we did btw~ On a bright note, there is lemon infused water downstairs and a bar that has complimentary wine during a certain time in the afternoon (didn't try it). There are umbrellas to "borrow" in the lobby and a list of amenities that you can borrow from the hotel. Some of the hotel staff were friendly, some definitely need more training. Upon checkout, we stood with our luggages smiling in front of a girl for a good while before she acknowledged us. I had asked her if she could grab some more cups for the lemon water and it seemed like I was bothering her.... So yea, hard pass next time.

    Anniversary hospitality ;)

    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!!!

The space was…read moreincredibly bright due to the huge windows, the exposed brick was lovely, and the candles were stunning. 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!!! :)

    Came here for an event being thrown by a local business - Papa Chango for their anniversary…read more Cathedral is an event space so you can have wedding receptions, local art showing, VIP party and more. 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.
