Erica P.

This is a great little hotel in downtown Seattle. The staff was warm and welcoming (even though the weather was not!) and parking is blessedly easy with valet. The room was well appointed and comfortable. The air conditioning in the room was not as strong as I would have liked, but the windows had the ability to open which provided a nice cross breeze. The hotel was quiet, and, with the windows closed, you could not hear the traffic outside. As an added bonus, the hotel is easy walking distance to many restaurants and attractions, and a short ride away from Cap Hill and the waterfront (if you are not inclined to make the trek). Definitely worth checking out!

This was my first stay at this property at the corner of Pine and 8th Avenue. It's not a large hotel, there is a small lobby, a self-service convenience store, and a restaurant / bar in one corner of the ground floor with two names, Spruce Café during the day and Chan Seattle at night. Two elevators serve the 11 floors comprised of 146 rooms and 2 suites. It's a basic hotel, valet parking, no pool but there is a small exercise room and free WiFi. For our purpose, it was perfect. I had a corner room on the 7th floor overlooking Pine towards the water. It was a nice size, with a dresser hiding a coffee maker and ice bucket on the left and a refrigerator on the right. Above the dresser was a wall-mounted TV. To the left of the window was a desk and chair and to its left was an occasional chair. The bathroom is off the right past the entrance, comprising a glass-walled shower with a fixed head, a separate water closet, a small vanity and to its left, a full-sized tub. All in all, a nice bathroom. The only thing missing (for me) was a shower wand. The bar didn't open early and closed early so I ended up buying bottles of Botanist gin and a can of Pelligrino flavored water and having drinks in my room on two afternoons / evenings. The price of the 1.5oz bottles was surprisingly reasonable for a hotel ($7.50ea). Service by the staff was professional and I had no issues (other than limited bar hours) during my stay. For the price, I'd stay here again.

They want access to my room during my stay for this? No, wait until I'm checked out.

Pros: rooms are nice, decent sized, very comfortable bed and pillows, clean. Location is very convenient for most sightseeing, like pikes place market, with proximity to the train and monorail. Cons: really no amenities... the free coffee in the morning closes at 7 AM and it's only a Keurig machine so that was disappointing on a few levels. There's really nothing else here... no fitness room, and not even a few board games to play in the lobby. One of the two elevators is broken. This is not the hotel to stay at if you plan on hanging out at the hotel at all but it is a good place to basecamp and get a good nights sleep.

From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every part of my stay was comfortable, and their kindness truly stood out. The room was spotless, beautifully arranged, and felt like a peaceful retreat after a long day. Little touches like the cozy bedding, thoughtful amenities, and warm hospitality made it feel more like home than just a place to sleep. The location was perfect, just a short walking distance to Pike Place Market, which made exploring the city so easy and enjoyable. There were plenty of restaurants nearby to choose from, giving us endless options for food, coffee, and late-night treats. The ambiance throughout the hotel was inviting and relaxing, and every interaction with the team was met with a smile and sincere care. Whether it was recommendations for nearby spots or quick assistance with anything I needed, they were always attentive and helpful. I left feeling refreshed, cared for, and grateful for such a memorable stay. I would absolutely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, quality, and genuine hospitality.

Beautiful and modern hotel. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Rooms are good sized, clean, and well decorated. Only two elevators so can be a wait when it gets busy. Location of the hotel is in downtown Seattle and about a 10-15 minute walk to Pikes Place Market and about 10 minute walk to StarBucks Reserve. I'd be willing to stay here again when in Seattle.

Why?! Agh. should have switched rooms

PRICE DOESN'T MATCH PEACE OF MIND (3.25 Stars) Great hotel. Prime location. BUT damn.. for $246 a night, it's not worth your peace of mind. Need thicker windows because screaming crackheads (the infamous fentanyl zombies of Seattle), my bad, better term "the unhoused" sure comes out at night all over downtown streets is not the business. Neither are annoying cars with their loud exhaust driving by or honking horns. No room service and restaurant/bar are only open certain days and hours - uhm thats unusual for a hotel with a pricy nightly price tag. - CLEANNESS - VERY clean. Nice rooms. - SERVICE: good, very helpful and friendly - COMFORT: king size bed was comfy, pillows were horrible - QUIETNESS - Loud AF Selected this hotel because 1. The Paramount had great reviews everywhere I checked 2. The Hilton (my regular hotel) the one I remember downtown is closed 3. I've stayed at the Grand Hyatt across the street before and liked it but had some minor disturbance issues there and didn't want that same experience 4. This is right next Pacific Place "safer area downtown" and easy access to everything being in the heart of downtown. The further away from 1/2/3rd street the better. I got to check in hours early. My room was ready and given a room in the higher floors - facing Pine. The room was super clean, I even tested by wiping down areas of my own for any dirt and there was none. Upon arrival I saw a connecting door in my room - hence, the door to another hotel room. It has a lock and all but that means "paper thin walls". Most of the afternoon and evening, this place was peaceful and quiet. Then that all changes after 9:30p. All the fentanyl zombies coming out screaming or talking. I could hear the hotel neighbor that shares the connecting door unzipping their luggage, opening the shelves, etc. - luckily they seem like quiet people. But still, if you can hear them ruffling around the room - that connecting double door doesn't block noise. Cars with loud exhaust speeding by. Random cars honking. Kind of can hear some construction from the distance. It was annoying. Best way to drown it all out was to turn on the bedroom fan/ac to make it like white noise which helped, a lot. Bed was comfy but a little stuff. Pillows were awful. They are down feather but a beat up worn out down feather. Your head sinks in quickly and the pillows go super flat even using 4 pillows. Tried to use as many to get the lift but it didn't help. By 7:00AM the downtown morning starts with buses and truck noises and occasional honking. Prime location might also not be so prime. If you are a sensitive sleeper looking for a goodnights sleep, this place may not be for you. It was a good hotel but still noisy even if on the higher floors. And for that price, you'd think better would be served. Nice hotel but don't think I'll stay here again for $246 a night - maybe for less than $130. Until the next review...

King size bed - very comfortable

It's clean and in a convenient spot. The charge for parking is ridiculous. I'll probably stay there again if I see a show.

Does this hotel offer shuttle service to airport and cruise port?

If I remember correctly they do not offer airport shuttle service. They are a small boutique hotel. I would not let that keep you from enjoying a great hotel...

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.

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!

Belltown

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!
