Hotel Theodore, Seattle
Expert reviews
“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.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Seattle.
“This Art Deco skyscraper has undergone a floor-to-ceiling refresh: style-wise, the downtown landmark salutes Seattle’s industrial past, which led to its role as a tech and innovation hub. This luxurious urban escape especially appeals to creatives and entrepreneurs.”

We came for a quick over night stay for a concert but ended up having so much more fun!
Hotel Theodore was on a great location! We literally could walk everywhere and if we didn’t want to talk there were plenty of electric scooter or bikes to commute with. The staff was super friendly, the room was clean and the bed felt like sleeping in the clouds!

All the creature comforts in a great part of town!
Great space allocation with the room - enough to relax, lay out suitcases etc. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the bathroom was clean and modern. Location was fantastic and relatively quiet with a small amount of street noise which is to be expected. The customer service at the desk was fantastic - we had another booking fall through and had to find an alternate location late at night. The staff member was very helpful and accommodating to promptly process the booking once placed.
Bathroom is relatively small with minimal bench space - not a game changer though.

Would pick this location again.
Room was very clean and comfortable. Great shower, and quiet space. Easy access to train and main sights.
1 elevator out of service, so we used the stairs often. They are kind of a maze.

Amazing stay. We might come back.
Excellent location, friendly staff and awesome atmosphere.
One of the elevators stopped working for the entire long weekend. We understand those things happen, but perhaps they should be more prepared.

Location, safety, and cleanliness
The mattress and pillows were uncomfortable and should be more firm. The bathroom is too small, you hardly can move. Regular hotel, but it was overpriced. The room size is small for 2. The room I got is one of those connecting room style, this was not clarified before I confirmed the booking. I asked to change it, but no other room was available. I ended up upgrading to another room on my own charge. I asked for a late checkout and been told it has been approved until a certain time, and beyond it, I will be charged. However, I ended up being charged for this time that was supposed to be complimentary.

The location is excellent. It is in a fantastic shopping and dining area with a short walk to Pike street Market. It is also near the Monorail and train stations.

Nice stylish hotel
I liked the decoration as it didn’t feel like standard room hotel. It was clean and room was super spacious (we had a kind room, an open sofa bed, a baby crib and still had space to move around. Location was very convenient next to the monorail stop, shops, and short walk to pike market.
Bathroom was too small. The bathroom sink didn’t have any space on its side where you could leave your toiletry bag or anything at all. You also didn’t have any place to leave your clothes to get dressed inside the bathroom.

Great location and nice room, just don't expect customer service
Great location, good views from the 20th floor. Nice room, having a lounge area was definitely a bonus
The bed was small and the reception staff were not very friendly. Nobody offered to help us with our cases, in fact one member of staff stood and watched as we struggled with the door trying to get two large cases in.

We would definitely consider returning in the future.
Our superior king room was very spacious, well laid out and well appointed. The bathroom featured a well above average shower recess and the remaining area comfortably catered for two people at once. The front desk staff were friendly and accommodating.
The bed was fine, however we found it a little hard.

Stylish, comfortable, and convenient experience in downtown Seattle
The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the decor throughout the hotel was stylish and well thought out. The location was also convenient — just a short walk to Pike Place Market and close to the Link light rail station Westlake, which made getting around to/from the airport easy.
The room wasn’t serviced daily, which was a bit unexpected. It would have been nice to have fresh towels and a quick tidy-up each day without needing to request it.

Friendly, helpful staff Spacious room with good Wifi Great location between Space Needle and Pike Place Free wine hour!!
Just a bit dated, rooms could do with a bit of sprucing up

Seattle stay
Good location, easy to get to via public transport. Cool room with interesting decor. Coffee in the room. Complimentary wine hour was a treat!
No breakfast included. There is a small cafe on site but options are limited and it was very busy with only one person working. No tea option available in the room. We found the hotel expensive for what it was ... But this seems in accordance with Seattle prices.

Great place in great location
Super kind staff and really accommodating. My luggage had been lost and they offered me a variety of products to make me more comfortable. They greeted us every time we were in the lobby. Great location. Clean.
Room was small but big enough for us.

There’s a great coffee shop right in the lobby — it really adds to the atmosphere and looks amazing. The overall design is stylish and inviting, and the hotel staff are also wonderful — friendly, professional, and always helpful.

They were very accommodating to a large group. The beds were the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. The staff was so helpful and friendly. We had alot of luggage since there was alot of us who just got off a cruise and they stored luggage for everyone.

Very nice hotel, not very kind check-in staff
The location and the room were excellent
We arrive early (10am) and the room wasn’t ready, we return at 4:00 pm and they told us they don’t have rooms already, we explain that we already checked-in early and let them enough time to clean a room, and she doble check and magically they have our room ready, I don’t get the actitud!
