I was so excited to stay here since I heard such good reviews. It was my husband and my honeymoon and we picked the Mediterranean Suite. It wasn't as nice as the pictures. The room looked a little run dowm with the wall paper coming off in some places and the Fuji jet tub had seen better days. The information that they posted online that was suppose to come with the room was far from what it really came with. For example it said cd stereo that was not there. The in-room Starbucks coffee that they stated was not there. It would have been nice to have the coffee though instead of spending money in other places because of that false information. When we checked in the desk people said since it was our honeymoon they would send us a bottle of champaine to our room on the hotel. I guess its a good thing we didnt hold our breath on that one cause we never got it. If you like a firm bed then you willl love sleeping here. As for us we thought it was way to firm. The best part of it all was when I got a huge rash on my face from the pillow. I was disappointed that we chose this hotel for our honeymoon.

Following a fairly intense but fun business conference, I booked an extra day in Seattle to spend with family and friends. The Hotel Monaco was awesome! My early arrival coincided with the Gay Pride Parade so the street scene was vivid and a bit hectic. Entering the lobby, calm enveloped me. The staff welcomed me and I dropped my bag without qualms about security. I was given walking directions to Pike's Market and set off to get a further preview of the parade on my way to breakfast. From Pike's Market, we went to the Seattle Library, a must see. It just happened to be catty corner from this hotel. After receiving a personal phone call to advise my room was ready, we walked across the street to see the room and put up our feet for a moment. You guessed it - from the 9th floor, the view from my room was directly on to the library! The in-room guide books helped us select a wine bar, Purple, just a few blocks down. As our day ran down, we ventured back to the Hotel Monaco for a late night dinner. The chef served us a fig & prosciutto pizza baked in a wood fired oven which was not on the menu, just something he was trying out. Our wine selection started with an Italian rose and concluded with a Williamette Valley Pinot Noir; both excellent. The next morning, my wake up call was made by staff, not a recording! I will book this hotel again and will search for Kimpton Hotels in other travel destinations (as will my friends who had previously stayed in a Kimpton Hotel in San Francisco)! Fun, inspired decor. Friendly, courteous, accommodating staff! Perfect location, seriously. Romantic (I wished my husband was along)!

Artful, well-appointed hotel. No boring decor here! Staff is friendly and anxious to help. From great valet service, to fresh, inspired dining selections, to great help from concierge. I appreciated the full wall of windows. Everything I wanted was right here! Located within walking distance of Pike Place Market, 5th Ave theatre, Westlake Center. Fabulous!

I went there with my boyfriend and 2 other friends for a weekend getaway. It was our first time in Seattle and the staff of the Monaco made it very comfortable. We came early in the morning and one of the rooms was ready. It was wonderful, because we got a chance to freshen up before we went sightseeing. The room was assigned according to my Kimpotn In Touch preferences, and I got a small welcome amenity, which was a nice touch.
The staff was very hepful, they recommended a great place for breakfast, which was just around the corner. The wine our from 5 to 6pm was great! They aslo provide 10-min massage in the lobby on Tuesdays, it was sooo relaxing, since we spent a lot of time walking!
I would definitely recommend this hotel for whatever reason you come to Seattle, whether it is for business or fun! -
