The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from Pike's Market and many other shops and restaurants. Lots to do in the area and quick ride to other popular sites.

I used the rim of the tub for my toiletries. The one thing that was difficult to get passed was the strong smell from the HotPot restaurant next door. There is an entrance to the restaurant from the GH lobby and the smell is overwhelming. Thankfully, when you get to the far interior of the hotel and your actual room, there is a very pleasant scent and it helps you reset. I especially liked the smell in the bedroom.

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.

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.

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!

So first night in town We have this place booked, we already told them we'd be late, oh it's no problem someone is always on duty, that's a ducking lie nobody was here we stood outside for an hour trying to call the stupid number no answer no help no fucking anything from the masters of mediocrity. After two days of calling and talking to them we get some bullshit answers blah blah blah, and the night refunded, bad part is there was two more nights booked at the end of the week for the end of our trip. So they say they wanna accommodate us and make up for it, they fucking do not do that in fact I've never had a more miserable check in experienc, they said our 3 different credi/debit cards didn't work when 1. They have literally worked everywhere else all over the entire state and 2.

This hotel is in a prime spot--right in downtown Seattle and just a short stroll from Pike Place Market! Super convenient if you want to explore the city. Parking is available for an extra charge, but that's pretty standard for the area. The room I stayed in was smaller than expected but had a charming, old-school vibe that made it feel unique. One downside, especially for travelers, is the lack of a coffee maker in the room. But hey, at least there's a restaurant downstairs where you can grab a cup without much hassle. On the plus side, the room was clean and had a fantastic view overlooking Pike Place Market and the harbor beyond--definitely a highlight! Now, the one thing that threw me off? The decor. Specifically, the portraits hanging right next to the bed. Something about waking up or falling asleep with a bunch of unfamiliar faces staring at you is just... unsettling. Definitely adds some unexpected "character" to the stay! read more

To start off: I am writing this review because of how wonderfully my mother and I were treated by Raul, an exemplary staff member. Our visit was from June 17 to June 22, 2021. We were pleased upon arrival and had a great stay, but we encountered one inconvenience that could have negatively impacted our trip. However, Raul stepped into action and immediately worked on a remedy. Not only was Raul responsive to our concerns and quick at finding a solution, but he went above and beyond and treated us with kindness and understanding. The hotel was very nice, the Ben Paris restaurant was excellent, but the treatment from Raul made our visit one to remember. I recommend this hotel because of its location, amenities, and more importantly, the wonderful staff. The State Hotel is lucky to have Raul working for them, as he is a gem. read more

We loved how easy it was to get to, just a couple blocks from the 1 & 2 train lines, which made getting to the airport today after check-out super easy and affordable.

It's walkable to a whole lot more than that, but those are adventures for another visit. Our beds were super comfy and clean, with extra pillows and blankets, the complimentary soaps and lotions felt and smelled great, the Nescafé cappuccino/espresso maker was easy and tasty, and the overall decor was easy on the eyes and the body, with both form and function very well though out in every aspect of the furnishings. The highlight of the stay, though, was Avery. She kindly and efficiently provided exceptional service that really elevated our whole experience. It turned out I had many needs on this trip and she was able to accommodate them all. Need to borrow scissors? No problem. Need a to-go cup that's disposable but not plastic? Gotcha.

The rooms are reasonably quiet (ask for a higher floor for less noise), beds are comfortable with plenty of pillows, and the electrical situation is modern and fairly intuitive ie I was able to charge my devices easily and the light switches were easy to find. The bathroom is a little dated (still has a combination tub/ shower which I actually prefer) but again, no difficult to figure out shower controls. So what made this a 5 star stay?

The room was small and uninviting, with a view of a back alley, directly into the apartments next door. There is one elevator that moves at a glacial pace, so I opted for the stairs as often as possible. In terms of amenities, there is a Nespresso Vertuo (the nicer one) in every room, LATHER bath products (which I love!), a rooftop, and free bikes/helmets to rent. They also offer a pick up service from the airport for about $70, and a van to the cruise terminals for $10/person. Additionally, you can show your keycard to "Biscuit Bitch" next door for 10% off your order, and I highly recommend taking advantage.

The parking garage was tiny, and it took about 30 minutes to check in and get to our room because of the painfully slow elevators. Our key stopped working the first day, so we had to walk down and back up the stairs to get our key fixed at 10pm (again, no identification required to get a new room key). This morning, there is no coffee in the lobby as apparently the machine is broken. To top it off, the hotel did not honor the discount it quoted us at booking, which we have emails and will be supporting with the credit card company. Hugely overpriced, and we will not be back again.

Great location in historic Pioneer Square within walking distance to abundance of shops and…read morerestaurants. Close to Seattle Stadium and the waterfront area. Easy 15 minute walking to Pike Place Market and Belltown. Room is very modern and cool minimalistic yet comfy and cozy. Common area is buzzing with guests chilling before exploring the city or after returning from a full day of activities.

This is my second time saying in a citizen M hotel. The first time was in DC. I can confidently say…read morethat this is probably my last time staying here. The room itself was nice as expected. I already knew the room was on the smaller side, which was not an issue with me because I really stayed here for the big comfortable bed. My issue is that the Chromecast never worked so I was left with very basic channels, on my Marriott Bonvoy account specifically noted that I do not like rooms by the elevator, mine was directly across from it being that there is no interaction with another person during this process. I just decided to stay here. I really think this was a poor addition to the Marriott family. The bar was amazing. The drinks were very good and this was very conveniently located. I probably will not be staying in another citizen M
