Humble, demure, and cozy best describe the Hotel Vintage Park. From the lobby to
the hallways, the restaurant to the guestrooms, this Kimpton exudes peace and
tranquility after a tumultuous day. It doesn't have the opulence of higher-end
Kimptons, but its classic old-world charm will captivate you.
If you still don't know what makes Seattle Seattle, you soon will as you are
greeted in the lobby with a serious coffee bar seemingly poised to compete with
a certain coffee giant. The staff is a super friendly bunch, proactively
informing you of what's going on around town and willing to make your stay as
pleasant as possible.
The guestroom isn't the most spacious you will find, but they pack all the
creature comforts within. Complimentary wifi, large flat panel tv, his and hers
bathrobes, and the most generously-stocked minifridge and amenity kit I have
ever seen definitely make for a comfortable evening. If you forgot to bring
toiletries, the fine folks downstairs will gladly furnish you. And the best
amenity ever for when visiting Seattle - an umbrella! Brilliant! This alone is
worth one star.
There isn't much negative to say about Vintage Park. If I had to nitpick, I
would say the $30 nightly fee for valet parking is a bit on the steep side.
Loved this Kimpton though. I'd definitely stay here again.

We wanted location - Check. We wanted unique but with a bit of an upscale twist
- Check. We wanted a BIG bathtub - Check!
We also wanted enough room to spread out, so we tried out the hotel's only
luxury suite. It has a separate living room, decorated quite tastefully with a
large high back sofa, chaise, & a couple of arm chairs. Enough space for a small
get together, with a flat screen t.v. & dual-sided fireplace that actually
works! The bedroom is also nice-sized, with another t.v.,dvd player. The bed is
sooo comfortable - not squishy, not too firm. And lots of pillows. The dressed 4
posts really make this bed feel formally luxurious. The bath is HUGE ladies. The
jetted tub is also really large - totally comfortable for 2 adults, already set
up with candles. The separate shower is really nice with multiple shower heads
above & below. And the room was always so clean. We were a little apprehensive
about the pet-friendly policy meaning we may have a little odor to the room, but
this was definitely not the case.
To think of drawbacks....well, there's not really much of a view except a slight
view of the water between 2 buildings. But we knew this beforehand, so to us,
that wasn't a big deal. At night a couple times we heard some sirens down below,
but come on, it's the city - it didn't bother me. And we would have liked a
coffeemaker in the room too...thought it was unusual there wasn't one, but I'm
sure if we'd called the front desk they would've gladly brought one up.
Otherwise, the room is fabulous.
The staff is really great as well. So accommodating, friendly, & unobtrusive.
Easy easy check-in/check-out. No problems. We didn't try the restaurant but did
hear it was good.
If you are interested in staying somewhere uniquely out-of-the-normal-box-hotel
experience with a touch of class & good location, this is it.

Everything at the Hotel Vintage Park seems well thought-out. I appreciated the
full-size, top-qualty toiletries and the attention to being "green." Nice
flat-screen TV and quick, delicious room service dinners. Desk staff were
helpful and resourceful. Enjoyed the afternoon "Arnold Palmer" beverages in the
lobby as well as the evening wine tastings. While you are staying here, be sure
to walk across the street to take in the fabulous spaces of the Central Seattle
Public Library. My only criticism is that the elevator call button was not
working on our floor one morning, and staff failed to post a notice advising
guests that it was out of order and suggesting they call down to the front desk
so they elevator could be sent up. Pretty annoying when I was trying to catch a
scheduled bus departure. Did I mention free wi-fi, too? That's always a plus.

We spent 4 days here before we went to Port Townsend for a wedding. We had
always just passed through Seattle and wanted to see a bit of it.
The hotel is several blocks south east of the main downtown area and is near the
new library. Still everything is easily walkable. For instance, it is about 8
blocks to Pike's Place Market; maybe 6 blocks to Pioneer Square.
This is a very nice, cozy little hotel. Amenities like a business center and
fitness area are there, but are minimal. Also, no pool or spa. That being said,
the price is also much lower than more full featured hotels.
On the plus side, at 5pm every evening, there is a free wine tasting in the
lobby that starts off the evening in great style.
The staff was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating.
The rooms are very big and well appointed. A small maintenance issue was taken
care of immediately.

We stayed at the Hotel Vintage Park for 3 nights. The location is excellent, it
is walking distance to the waterfront and Pike's Place. The rooms are well
appointed with a comfortable bed and couch. The only things we felt lacking were
a couple of small amenities - a small coffee maker and a perhaps a microwave;
these would definitely help. We paid around 130$/night for 3 nights and thought
that was excellent value.

After much searching and review reading, I chose the Vintage Park as the hotel
to take my husband on a surprise weekend for his 40th birthday. We booked our
trip through a vacation package with Clipper travel. From the minute we arrived
to the time we left, we had fabulous service. When we checked in I mentioned
that it was my husbands birthday and was told they had upgraded our room. After
coming back from our dinner than night, we found a bottle of wine waiting for us
with a lovely note wishing Sean a happy birthday and hoping that we enjoyed
their gift to us. I was blown away. The room was beautiful and very clean. Since
we were on the 3rd floor the traffic noise could become a little loud at times
but the heavy curtains definitely helped to drown it out. In the mornings there
was complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby, in the afternoons there was ice
tea and lemonade and in the evenings there was a free wine tasting. Needless to
say it ended up being a fantastic weekend to just getaway, relax and reconnect.
Thank you Hotel Vintage Park. We can't wait to come back.

Good location for sightseeing. Rooms clean and comfortable - had European style
feel to them - queen room was compact. Arrived late (2230) and had been told bar
would be open so disappointed to find it was closed. We had rate 125$+tax from
hotel website which was fine for room we had. |
