Sorrento Hotel, Seattle
More photosExpert reviews
“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.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Seattle.
“The 76-room Italianate hotel hits the sweet spot between vintage glamour and on-trend design, from the moody lobby to the spacious front patio with black-and-white striped umbrellas.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Seattle.
“They don’t make them like this anymore – the historic Hotel Sorrento is a true grande dame on the Seattle hospitality scene. It dates back to 1909 when visitors to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition needed a place to stay and scope out this faraway land known as the Pacific Northwest.”

Weekend brunch, happy hour, afternoon tea, dinner, and perfectly mixed cocktails, and a seat in the Fireside Room is a complete combination of soulful jazz music.

Hotel was very cool with many historic features. The staff was outstanding. It was within walking distance from Pike’s M
Quaint hotel with beautiful restaurant.
Bed was not so comfortable and it was difficult to get the room a consistent temperature.

Cozy, elegant and restful with a fun list of cocktails!
I love the feel of this classic, elegant hotel. Very clean and appropriate updates. The bedding is so comfortable, and the bath and shower were newly renovated. We enjoyed our stay.
The valet overnight parking seemed a bit steep, but I’m sure it’s a difficult place to find safe, street parking.

Cozy, quaint, and lively vibe!!
The size of the room, and the comfort of the bed. It also seemed very clean.
I was appreciative that we were seated right away in Stella’s for dinner even though they were having an event. However my dinner was meh. I ordered scallops. I would like to go back and try something else to give another chance..

Very good
Some of the rooms were stunning, like the fireplace lounge.
The building itself looks amazing.
The area around the hotel is under a lot of construction and it feels a bit like the wrong side of the ‘tracks’,

Beautiful place but needing a facelift
Beautiful old building. Great bar and restaurant
The rooms were worn and felt old. Also it didn’t seem that clean

Convenient, comfortable, air conditioned and safe.
Convenient location and it had air conditioning.
A little too much effort to try and be fancier than the property.
Nice outdoor seating for restaurant but the food was too designer style. Fancy presentation but smaller portions. So you pay more for.less food.

Love this historic hotel. Its beautiful!
Our room was clean. Loved the coffee machine. Every staff member we interacted with was exceptionally kind and helpful. The hotel comped us the parking fee for one night because of the noise issue.

This is a jewel of a hotel.
entry is always really beautiful. The rooms are real nice but need some work cosmetic. The shower was great and there is a great bakery just up the street called Sugar Bakery.
The room could have had the heat on and warm before entering the room. Hand towel was frayed a bit.

Will continue Sorrento stays!
Vintage and character
stained sheet and one person valet
22 April 2023
Unique, non-chain feel, but wouldn’t return
large room, nice lounge
very loud location (perhaps due to being near a hospital), unusually cramped toilet area, outrageous parking fees
23 March 2023
Sorrento, again.
Restaurant Stella for breakfast, rug in the elevator stated the day so it is changed every day. The books in the room were amazing. Very nice bed too. Oh the lotion is so good as well.
The noise in the streets below, everywhere, it is under construction.
