Hotel Review of the Sorrento Hotel Seattle
Jul 26, 2010
Wow, I stayed here for my honeymoon and it could not have been better. Now, my
wife and I are not accustomed to luxury so every tiny detail was a pleasant
surprise. Ie they change the elevator carpet every night at midnight to display
the new day. Also our room had a beautiful bathroom the size of a new York
apartment lol jk but it was large with a double size bathtub and marble tile.
The service was great extremely helpful and courteous. The only downside and
this is not the hotels fault but Seattle esp. This area is very hilly so if u
are fit have no worries everything is accessible from walking but if walking is
problematic U may want to find a different location. Since I don't mind walking
thus is definitely my new go to for Seattle if I ever come back or recommend.

The Sorrento Hotel is definitely at the top of my list. Charming boutique hotel
with turn of the century charm but up to date amenities. At the top of a hill
and a 15-20 minute walk from Capitol Hill or downtown, the hotel was generous
with the Towne Car. The service was excellent, the young staff knowledgeable
about restaurants, and all apparently emotionally invested in the hotel.
Travelocity failed to let the hotel know our son was with us, but we were
quickly upgraded to a suite. Thank you Sorrento for a great first time in
Seattle.

The Sorrento remains my "go to" hotel in Seattle. I love the old world charm,
great location, friendly staff, quirky crowd and generous rooms. In fact, I've
never stayed in two similar rooms or suites -- I like that. Nothing cookie
cutter about this place. This time I was upgraded to a suite (thanks to AmEx
platinum) overlooking the porte cochere. It was chilly, rainy and windy in
Seattle and I couldn't get the heat in the room to cooperate, but the top notch
comforter and bed linens were so inviting they almost compensated.
The lobby and adjacent bar can be lively if there's live piano, but the Hunt
Club restaurant is, regrettably, just serviceable. The signature palm trees out
front are looking a bit forlorn (I don't think this variety grows well this far
north -- just sayin').

This is a historical hotel with a lot of charm, however, it is surrounded with
busy streets. The rooms are therefore very noisy, so if that bothers you, be
sure to ask for a room that faces a building wall and is quite. The staff were
very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The rooms are quite old, but clean and
comfortable. The hotel is in walking distance to great shopping and eating at
the pier.

Fabulous turn-of-the-century hotel! If you like turn-of-the-century architecture
with all of the modern conveniences, this place is the very best. Amazing foyer,
halls and rooms. The best lobby bar ever - even live jazz on Fri and Sat. The
rooms are lovely and the service is excellent. And don’t miss the french fries!

Great weekend, We went to Seattle for concert and visit friends. It was a great
weekend, hotel has lots of character, we stayed in suite- smallish but very
nice, bedding outstanding. Service in restaurant and bar was very good, friendly
efficient. Restaurant was good, but did not live up to expectations-heard it was
(at one time) top tier. Lobby is great example of early 20th century wood and
warmth. Overall a good experience.

Centrally located, this hotel was just a short walk from many of Seattle’s urban
highlights. The hotel experience was excellent. It is a traditional, classy,
pleasant old-time hotel with superlative client service. The hotel itself had a
rich history in Seattle and it was well-documented (even with a book about it in
the room; made for interesting reading and understanding of the area). A
different amenity was a DVD player in the room with an excellent selection of
music. The staff were uniformly pleasant, helpful, cheery and willing to help in
any they could. It was a refreshing change from the all-too-common high-rise
model of modern hotels. It was inexpensive for this class of accommodation in a
downtown location. This hotel will easily be the "home-base" for future visits
to Seattle.

We were delighted with our choice in this Hotel, the rooms were shic, modern &
beautiful. A little bit small but perfect for our two night stay. The people in
the lobby were very friendly and made us feel at home. I hate how swanky hotels
make you feel uncomfortable and not welcome but that certainly didn't happen
here.

Stayed at the Sorrento for the first time after moving away from Seattle 10
years and after never stepping foot in the door while residing in the city but
had always heard glowing reviews of it. Was immediately taken aback by the
generosity of the staff who were very friendly and immediately offered a room
upgrade. Upon entering the room i found out why this hotel was given such high
marks, separate sitting area with couch and desk, the most comfortable
down-filled bed, large marble bathroom with excellent toiletries. We were most
pleased. It is a little stretch for walking down to Pike's Market unless you
happen to be in tiptop shape as Seattle is very hilly. The breakfast was
excellent also and plus they have a nice happy hour in the lobby with the
fireplaces glowing which can be handy during the wet weather that may great you
while in Seattle.

We booked The Sorrento via Last Minute and were pleasantly surprised by the
quality of the old style hotel. Its definitely old - so if youre looking for
sleek fittings, bland colours, lots of glass, designer taps, plasmas etc then
this is not the place for you.....head to somewhere that was built in 09
instead.
This is a beautiful old building that has been taken care of and is very
welcoming. Its a step back in time to a simpler world - beautiful furniture and
linen etc.
Its located on top of the hill so you get a fair bit of incidental exercise
every time you head into the city centre / markets. Happy hour offers some great
drinks deals and next time we visit we will book for the high tea.
A nice change from the standard hotel ....definitely recommend it.

The Sorrento is awesome! I ended up booking a room at the last minute (for an
outrageous price of no less than $200) but my stay was incredible.
The rooms are amazing, the staff is very helpful and friendly and the service
was impeccable.
If you're ever looking for a romantic splurge I'd definitely recommend it.
I've stayed at a lot of high-priced establishments and this is one of the few I
can say the rooms were 5 star. A lot of times you will pay for 5 star and see 5
star in the lobby... and then encounter very average rooms and amenities. This
is definitely not the case with the Sorrento.
