Hotel Ändra, Seattle
More photosHotel Ändra is a chic boutique property in Seattle’s Belltown district that beautifully marries urban sophistication with Pacific Northwest comfort. Housed in a historic 1926 brick building, the property has a fascinating past; it originally served as efficiency apartments and even functioned as a transfer station for the Women’s Army Corps during the mid-1940s.
The hotel’s design is a thoughtful nod to Seattle’s deep-rooted Nordic heritage. Following a major renovation in 2004, the interiors were reimagined to feature clean lines, rich wood, and stone textures, creating an atmosphere of cozy, Scandinavian-inspired “hygge.” The rooms are equally refined, featuring custom cabinetry and furniture crafted in collaboration with Swedish artisans.
A standout feature is the hotel’s commitment to culinary excellence. It is home to Lola, a celebrated Mediterranean-inspired restaurant by legendary chef Tom Douglas. Guests can even participate in hands-on cooking classes at the hotel’s Hot Stove Society, which is one of the only recreational cooking schools in North America located directly within a luxury hotel.
Its location is incredibly convenient for exploring the city. You are just a short six-minute walk from the iconic Pike Place Market and within easy reach of the Seattle Aquarium, the Space Needle, and the bustling downtown waterfront. Whether you’re here for the local culture or the coastal scenery, Hotel Ändra serves as a stylish, quiet sanctuary perfectly situated to capture the best of Seattle.
Expert reviews
“A Downtown Scandinavian-themed boutique property with 119 guest rooms, two restaurants and a Northwest-meets-Nordic design aesthetic featuring Alvar Aalto-designed lounge chairs and stacked firewood beside the lobby’s large granite fireplace.”
“The word ändra in Swedish means “change,” and change is what Hotel Ändra is about. The building dates from 1926, but nearly everything in this trendsetting boutique hotel—furniture, fabrics, even bathroom fixtures—comes from Sweden or Scandinavia and reflects a sophisticated and richly textured European aesthetic.”

“Modern Scandinavian style defines this 119-room luxury boutique hotel in Belltown. Ideally located for shopping, dining, and attractions, it’s also in the heart of a small foodie empire–several of celebrity chef Tom Douglas’ restaurants are right nearby, with Lola, a fan favorite, on the premises.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Seattle.
“Subtle Scandinavian design laces this 1926 brick and terracotta building in the trendy Belltown neighbourhood, close to the city centre. Highlights of the hip hotel include a cooking school and the restaurant Lola, both run by Seattle celebrity chef Tom Douglas.”

We have stayed here several times. It is comfortable, beautiful, and clean. It has a secure elevator, that only lets you up to your floor with your room card. It has a wonderful location, close to every thing you want to do in Seattle. We will stay here again. We are fans of Hotel Andra.

We will definitely be back. Beautiful accommodations, close to everything.
Close to everything! Beautiful room. Staff were nice. Excellent restaurants nearby. Fantastic shower. Robes were soft. Mattress a little too soft, but it was a comfortable bed. We liked the sofa and lighting was good.
The Nespresso machine didn’t really make a decent cup of coffee. Good for shots, but you need the Veruto machines to make a true cup of coffee. WiFi was bad. And I couldn’t get my phone to mirror to the TV. 👎👎 A sound bar would be a good inclusion. The lighting system was a little bit complicated.

Wonderful stay at the Ändra!
Love the room! Spacious and the bed was so comfortable. Location was great! So easy to walk to all of the spots we wanted to go to.
Great cafe across the street for morning coffee + breakfast. Can’t wait to come back!
The fitness room was the size of a shoe box. Don’t plan on using unless you catch it empty

Great choice for staying in Belltown
Big fan of the cozy room, and the couch— really changed the vibe to make it comfortable for a multi-night stay. Everything felt clean and warm, and the staff were both thoughtful and chill. Restaurant next store was great, and the art gallery across the street worth visiting!

Fabulous
The hotel has a great location near attractions and within a nice neighborhood. The rooms were large and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable.

Hotel Theodore, Seattle
Hotel Theodore is a cool, boutique gem in downtown Seattle that beautifully bridges the city's past and present. Originally opened in 1929 as the Roosevelt Hotel, the building is a stunning example of Art Deco architecture designed by the legendary John Graham Sr. After a massive floor-by-floor renovation spearheaded by Susan Marinello Interiors, it reopened in 2017 as Hotel Theodore, a tribute to the 26th U.S. President.
New York Times + 1 more“The Hotel Theodore is a refined 153-room property that reopened in 2017 after a style-minded renovation. In the Art Deco tower that formerly housed the Roosevelt Hotel, guests are now surrounded by Seattle-sourced products, from a collection of local art and artifacts to house-roasted beans in the on-site coffee shop.”

Frommers + 2 more“Connoisseurs of Seattle hotels have been enjoying Inn at the Market since it opened in 1986. One of the best small hotels in the Pacific Northwest, this charming hotel overlooking the Pike Place Market is one of the most romantic small hotels in the city.”

Sorrento Hotel, Seattle
The Sorrento Hotel is Seattle’s longest-standing boutique hotel, a true local landmark perched on the city's oldest neighborhood, First Hill. Opened in 1909 to accommodate visitors for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, it was envisioned by founder Samuel Rosenberg as a slice of European luxury in the Pacific Northwest. Architect Harlan Thomas designed the building in an Italian Renaissance style, famously convincing Rosenberg to name it after the coastal Italian town because the local topography and bay views reminded him of the Mediterranean.
Frommers + 2 more“The Sorrento is a hotel full of charming period details and rooms that convey personality rather than conformity, with carved wood moldings, restored vintage furniture, and white marble bathrooms with porcelain pedestal sinks and full-length mirrors.”

Fodors + 3 more“Seattle’s Four Seasons location overlooks Elliott Bay and the Puget Sound.
