    The W
    Phong T.

    My partner and I visited town to celebrate our friend's daughter's 1st birthday. We stayed at The W in downtown Seattle, a very convenient location close to Pike Place and several restaurants we had bookmarked and wanted to try. The hotel staff provided exceptional customer service, thoroughly explaining everything during our check-in. My partner had booked the stay using one of his reward cards, which also included free tickets to the Seattle Great Wheel--an added bonus. Overall, I highly recommend The W, and we definitely plan to stay here again on our next visit.

    Stayed a couple of nights, this W really went downhill in the past decade or so. Dated rooms with cheap "tree print" vinyl on walls, walls and paper thin - the elevator equipment kept me up all night. When I called and asked whether my room was next to the elevator equipment I was told they ALL are - each room surrounds the elevator shaft so you keep hearing the gears and pulleys even with earplugs in. Very basic setup - basic toiletries without amenities like cotton balls or q tips, teeny tiny Nespresso machine with a $5 water next to it for your morning coffee. Valet only parking for $75, there are no nightlights anywhere. And the view - that was the most disappointing part. The W was an iconic hotel exuding luxury. Now it feels like a quirky cheap motel.

    Kimchi fried rice
    Qinnan L.

    Had a peaceful one night stay. Centrally located in downtown Seattle with modern facilities. The best part of my stay was actually the food at the in house restaurant Trace. We ordered the kimchi fried rice, avocado toast, and drinks. I loved that the avocado toast had black beans - really added a unique flavor profile to an otherwise standard dish. The kimchi fried rice was also hearty and comforting. The matcha latte came in a huge mug and was high quality

    This is a hip hotel.within walking distance of Pike Place Market. It's very cool and modern. There's even a bar on the 1st floor. That doubles as a low-key nightclub.

    This is a wonderful hotel. Amenities are plentiful, and they have a great touch. The staff genuinely wants to make your stay as pleasant as possible. This includes both the wait staff, who went above and beyond for a colleague with food allergies, and the engineering staff, who provided a solution for transporting meeting materials for our presentation. Highly recommended!

    If you are Bonvoy elite member, look for another place to stay to place. This hotel decides for you that your welcome benefits will be points instead of breakfast. Upon checking in I had to ask and was told that I could have a breakfast benefit instead, so I agreed to use the breakfast benefit. After my stay i noticed that credit wasn't applied and called the hotel. They apologized and said the credit would be applied in a couple of days. No credit was ever provided.

    Espresso Martini Mocha
    Isabella H.

    Sleek and captivating bar interior! Always love the ambiance at the W Hotels. Espresso Martini (Mocha) was super tasty, creamy and sweet but strong. Great bar service, I'd love to come back to try another drink

    Old croissant that was like a rock

    The hotel is beautiful - love it; but the cafe is a hit or miss. Today, the day old croissant was a total miss; and sadly - the service was rude.

    View as described. Loved it.

    See all

    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.
