Sorrento Hotel, Seattle
Expert 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.”

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.

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

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.

Beautiful Convenient Place
The historic building is beautiful inside and out. Our room was huge and very comfortable, especially the bed! The location could not have been more perfect for our purposes.
The tub and toilet part of the bathroom was beautiful, but cold. The sink area lacked a towel bar.

Charming old hotel
Beautiful old hotel that's been kept up very well. Beds are comfortable. Good water pressure in the shower, always a bonus! We stayed the night after a "silent reading party" which was a really fun night out for two book lovers. Staff is always kind and acommadating.
Would a appreciate a few more plug strips or USB hubs in the room.

Seattle visit
Property was elegant, comfortable and had great bar and dining. Jazz night was great and all staff were friendly and helpful.
It was a little away from the main attractions and there were only 1 or 2 bars nearby

A pleasant stay, quirky old building
It’s in a beautiful, old building. The room was huge and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful.
The elevator kept breaking down and needed to be reset several times during our stay, so we were walking up and down the stairs a lot, including when we checked in with our bags. The staff was kind enough to help us upstairs with our bags. The air conditioning in the room was loud and didn’t really cool the room enough.

Great room but rude restaurant manager, would not come here again.
Great room, nothing bad can be said about it.
After a long travel day, we wanted to eat at their restaurant and avoid running around to find food. We've rushed thorough the city to get there on time, because they told us the restaurant closed at 9pm and they accept walk-in till 8.45pm. We arrived there right at 8.45pm. Ok, maybe it was 8.45pm and 30 SECONDS. They turned us away because the restaurant manager said "I just set the last customer at 8.45pm, so no, we won't seat you. You can come back tomorrow night if you want to." This is regardless from the fact that we pointed out we were guests at the hotel. I'd be fine with that if it was a cheaper kind of hotel, but after spending $350 PER FREAKING NIGHT, that's not the kind of welcome you expect.

Good stay, I'd come back, but it would be nice to have coffee in the lobby and have elevator work.
I like the feel of this hotel. It's a throw back to an era gone by and I liked that. It was not great that the elevator didn't work, but Stella, the restaurant was great. It enjoyed the music a great deal on Friday night and the staff across the board was kind and helpful.
That there was no coffee served in the lobby in the early morning and there were no food options apart from the restaurant.

Good overall, great location used room service and was satisfied.
Very large living space, very comfortable. The bed was exceptional.
Bathroom very cramped, poor layout of the commode. Could not control the heating, So the room has cold and uncomfortable. There were no charging stations in the room. Had to leave my phone at the front desk to be charged.

Overall I liked staying in this hotel, I’ve noticed a couple things here and there but nothing was wrong with it. I woul
The lobby and dining/bar area has a nice ambiance. Friendly staff, clean, has good amenities. The room was spacious.
The room did not look complete. Molding on the sealing was not reached all the way to the corner and mirror on the wall was also cricked. The room was clean. The hall way smells like old carpet.

Tv didn’t have smart capabilities.

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.
