    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 ‍

    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.

    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.

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.

They did check us in at 2pm and we had requested to be put in a room with a good view but we were put in the worst possible room. I also got injured so we're having to spend the last night indoors so I'm specially bummed. Next thing was the shower pressure, I had a wound so it was rough. We couldn't control the shower pressure and it was very very strong, the shower was very unpleasant. Anyways, I can't blame it all on the hotel but having asked for a hotel with a good view and gotten an acknowledgement saying they'd do what they could and having gown the worst possible room...it has left us with a bad taste. $500+ for this view is very disappointing.

    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 front desk had a room available for me a little earlier than normal check-in and had wonderful suggestions for a little snack around the hotel. The room is much more spacious than pictures can show. I really enjoyed the two separate seating areas. The window area settee was the perfect place for a snack and using my laptop to prepare for the next day. The closet has more than just two hangers, which I appreciated being able to hang the clothes that needed to be hung and steamed later. The bed was soft, but not overly so and the charging options on the nightstand helped me keep some of my electronics packed and neat. Being in Downtown Seattle, I really didn't feel like I needed a car. The Sound is situated in a great place to just walk where I needed to go. Less than five minutes away from Westlake where I could catch either the monorail or Link, was very convenient for me. I enjoy walking around to get familiar with the area I'm in and there was so much to see!!! I will be back to The Sound for my next Seattle adventure!

Also many times throughout our stay we had a 15+ minute wait time at the elevators. There's 4 of them, but sometimes only 2 were running and with as many floors as they have, 20+, that's not adequate. They also do not have adequate seating for their evening reception or breakfast! During baseball season this hotel is NUTS! The proximity to the stadiums is awesome though & their only saving grace during this time. The adjacent restaurant, 30 Coin, not officiated with the hotel, also has an incredibly rude hostess & manager. Their wait times were insane, but it was due to poor staffing cause there were empty tables and bar stools. The staff at Zephyr was much more inviting & kind. They're the ones that told us the strikers were just being greedy cause they are pleased with their pay & healthcare. Maybe these strikers need to go back to college & find a new profession if they aren't satisfied with the life this work can provide them! Taking it out on the guests is shameful!

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 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.
