My recent stay at The State Hotel in downtown Seattle was exceptional. The proximity of the hotel to the market was so cool, plus tons of Seattle highlights within walking distance. The hotel interior has so much charm, the Ben Paris Cafe was tasty and convenient, and the staff was friendly and very accommodating. I would be elated to stay here again!!

Everyone here from the check in to the check out was very friendly and welcoming. The king bed was super comfortable and the walk in rainfall shower was a reprieve from a long day. The restaurant and all the staff were awesome as well. Great seafood dinner and nice breakfast. Location is perfect for your time in Seattle. Book the room with the view of the bay.

Restaurants are abundant to choose from.. at the market there are so many little places that serve the best food. Don’t bother with booking the top restaurants because these little ones are just as good and serve fresh food. Bed comfort was good and clean room

We really love this beautiful artistic boutique hotel. So close to everything the Seattle waterfront is known for. A few things that I would change; add a make up mirror in the bathroom and add more surface space in the bathroom for cosmetic and dop bags. There was a really high random shelf in the room that was completely out of reach and not useful for anything when any shelf space would have been a great addition. The Ben Paris restaurant on the main level is fabulous. Perfect for a nice breakfast before you’re heading out for the day. And also a really cool little rooftop bar with the best view of Puget sound on the planet. I would seriously recommend this hotel and would definitely go back. The staff is so wonderful and so friendly. It was a great addition to our stay.

This was an amazing hotel. It was beautiful. The staff was amazing. They held our bags for us ( we arrived from our flight at 9:30am to the hotel). Pikes Place was across the street, walked to the original Starbucks for coffee and walked to the Space Needle as well. Plenty to places to shop, drink and dine right next the hotel.
