Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Between the location and the cheerful accommodations, this would be a top choice. Business travelers will be close to the financial centers in the city including Washington State Trade & Convention Center. Kimpton calls itself a unique collection of boutique hotels. There are some negative reviews about efficiency of bell staff. Very pet friendly hotel so if you don't like dogs, you might not be comfortable here. Walk to everything, but beware Seattle hills. Other Hotel Monacos in other cities have similar themes. Read our customer reviews?
Yipes, stripes! The guestrooms have been decked out in exciting colors and fun fabrics. Rich color schemes in crimson, ochre and charcoal or vibrant yellow, raspberry and cream are layered upon bold patterns, luxurious textures, and stylish furnishings. There are 189 guestrooms here in a building that was once a Pacific Bell Telephone Co. It has been a hotel for 12 years. All "views" are of other buildings. Beds are new within three years.
In Kimpton style, Hotel Monaco hosts a nightly “hour of indulgence” featuring wines and local craft beers. Maybe one of the most unique amenities is that you can request a loaner goldfish for your stay. 24 hour gym & 24 hour room service. In-room yoga and in-room spa services, Starbucks in-room coffee, L’Occitane products, daily newspaper to start your day off, Wi-fi and Ethernet, double glazed soundproof windows. For some real fun try a complimentary chair massage on Tuesday and Thursday.
