Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“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.

Fodors review:

“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.

Telegraph review:

“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.”

Very good

Decent-sized room, comfortable bed, good bathroom. Staff was exceptionally knowledgeable and courteous. Was able to use hotel's equipment to print out boarding pass. Reasonable room rate for prime location.

Inadequately-functioning, stand-alone heating unit. Set thermostat at 75°, but unit blew cool air. Was a bit chilly under the circumstances (55-60°?), but too late (at bedtime) to be worth making an issue.

Refreshing stay in historic hotel

Historic hotel thoughtfully renovated and decorated. Mattress great. Bathroom marble with long soaking tub. Food in hotel restaurant excellent. Loved the wood-paneled lounge with fireplace and live music. The service was very attentive.

The TV was an old model that we could not plug our Roku into.

Fabulous

I liked everything about this hotel. The facility is an old, stately hotel. The staff was amazing. The location was perfect for my needs.

The first two nights, I was in a room that faced out on construction work on the front of the hotel. Mmy room window faced, and was covered by scaffolding and shade netting! 😮 My price for the room was not decreased because of this, nor was I warned about it when making a reservation. I was very disappointed. I had to extend my reservation another day as my husband was being kept another day in the hospital. The third night there I was put in another room, on the same floor. What a difference! If only I had had a choice with the first reservation. 😞

Beautiful property and well worth the stay

Loved the history and attention to detail of the hotel. Our room was nice and the location to the bakery was fabulous! Easy to drive to the Pike’s Market area and play around. HATE the ridiculous prices for parking in Seattle - way out of hand and will be a factor in the future. The fireplace in the former Hunt Club area and woods were part of the reasons I wanted to stay at the hotel. Absolutely worth seeing all of the area inside.

The noise level from outside was not good - it took a while to relax with all the sirens and people arguing on the walkways. Wishing there had been a way to stay outdoors a bit more - sad the “garden area” was not being utilized.

We’d stay there again!

it’s a lovely hotel where we stayed after our wedding in 1989.

the restaurant was very average at best. parking for the night was outrageous. city construction made accessing the hotel about impossible, and we are locals.

The Sorrentiq,

The huge table in the room was sticky, everything stuck to it, dishes, papers. I cleaned it twice with a damp towel. No improvement , it was like the table was refinished and the finish didn't dry completely.

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’,
