    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Anniversary hospitality ;)

    Stayed here at Palladian a cuple times and as a consequence of the other Kimptons booked out. Status means nothing here ~ checking in we were told no upgrades were available though the website indicated otherwise. Arrived tardy to the party for complimentary beverage hour but no complimentary drink cards offered at check-in. Other Kimpton hotels do. Rooms are definitely smaller than the other locations. Pet friendly? That is what the Kimpton reputation was popularly known for. No name recognition, treats offered. The biggest growl is nervously walking the pup outside with the riffraff that loiter along the block. All aside, the service was most disappointing again. Gone are the staff that pursued hospitality as a passion, or at least respected status members.

    Let me just say this was a great hotel. All the complaints and bad reviews I saw are nothing compared to what we experienced. We first got an amazing deal and then they do have those $10 day charges for the bar or restaurant which is fine. The restaurant is great. Frankly the food was delicious. Very fresh. The people at the front desk were all great. The cleaning staff specially Nicole was very attentive to us when we ran into her. We're also thankfully for the nail clip and file we got from the front desk. We got a Main Street view room and it was great. The hotel used to be apartments and its was fully remodeled and renovated to accommodate rooms and a hotel. I really liked it and it's a nice little property.

    Booked this hotel last minute, when another reservation cancelled on me, due to a scheduling snafu. I needed a place that welcomed dogs for the night and the Kimpton delivered. Hotel entrance located on 2nd avenue, but valet is located around the corner on Virginia Street. Location is great if wanting to visit Pike Place Market (blocks away), waterfront or many restaurants. Room was on the smaller side and decor is fun and funky (John Cena pillow on bed). There is construction next door, but I spent little time in my room. The real stand out is the support the staff provided helping my pup get comfortable going inside sliding doors in the lobby. The whole staff cheered on my pup and provided cookies. Any fear my dog used to have going on linoleum floors and in automatic sliding doors is now gone.

    See all

However, it's worth it IMO! Weekends are busy and there's generally a wait. However, I opted to paint outside and got seated right away. They have a great selection of items to paint. I picked two jars. They have a variety of supplies that allowed me to bring my vision to life! The number of colors they have to select from is vast too. They have a wide range of brushes and tools, and I appreciated their two sizes of paint pen detail bottles--perfect for writing! Nicky was so helpful and accommodating. He reviewed how the pair a work and the process thoroughly but succinctly. He brought my chosen pieces out to the table since I had my dog with me. It is dog friendly outside! Not sure about inside.

We worked with her in a day-of-coordinator capacity, in which she had multiple meeting with us before the wedding, sent us a Google Drive full of organizational resources that made our planning so smooth, reviewed all our vendor contracts, and answered random wedding industry-related questions that we had. On the day before our wedding, we had a venue walk-through with her, in which she coordinated details with the venue liaison, and she also led rehearsal. What is most worth your investment is what happens on the day-of. I told Emily my goal was to not make any decisions that day except how many slices of cake I was going to have, and that's exactly what happened. She took care of everything - set up, tear down, vendor coordination, decor, helping to wrangle family for photos, the flow of the evening, the rhythm of the processional, and I'm sure she did a thousand other things we didn't even notice. At one point in the night I asked for a pen and she appeared 5 seconds later with one in hand. Her presence allowed us to fully enjoy being in the moment and also took pressure off our friends and family so they could relax as well. We would recommend Emily's work to any of our friends and family.

I did engage in some of my own research and preparation to find vendors and even though it was added work, it added a personal touch to our wedding planning journey. This was done with added support from Kiran and her team to make sure contract negotiations went smoothly. A suggestion for improvement to the team and something to keep in mind for future clients would be to have clearer communication and tracking on both sides. Setting clear expectations in each planning phase earlier on, particularly during meetings and follow-ups would help clients navigate the planning process more smoothly and ensure that the KPStyle Events team has everything in place to ensure a stress free experience for both them and the client. Overall, working with Kiran and Sucheta as well as the rest of the KP Styles team was wonderful and memorable. Their dedication and skill in event planning, coupled with their punctuality and vendor management skills make their service very helpful for anyone on their wedding planning journey. They also brought an element of fun to our wedding reception first look and cheered us up when the stress of the events got to us. I am thankful for their role in making our wedding a beautifully orchestrated event and recommend them for their professional yet personal approach to event planning.
