Location

Quiet First Hill location near Capitol Hill nightlife, a short walk from city center shopping and dining    

Hotel Sorrento is located in First Hill, a

quiet and mostly residential neighborhood with many fine apartment buildings close to the city's main medical area. The popular Town Hall performance venue and the Frye Art Museum's stunning collection are both three blocks away and the hotel is easily

Rooms

Individually decorated, elegant rooms with plush beds, marble bathrooms, and 42-inch flat-screen TVs    

Spread across seven floors, the hotel's 75 rooms and suites are elegant, understated, and individually decorated with details like carved wood furniture and molding, rich

fabrics, contemporary art, upholstered armchairs, dark carpets, and gilt-framed mirrors. The clean and well-lit rooms start at 250 square feet (or 23 square meters), making them spacious by urban standards, with chocolate brown, beige, and slate-blue walls.

Features

Locally sourced menu at Dunbar Room, elegant Fireside Room lounge, and 24-hour fitness center    

Long a fixture of the Seattle social scene, the hotel's main features revolve around dining and drinking. The Dunbar Room, a new incarnation of the Hunt Club, offers locally sourced, seasonal dishes in a casual, yet refined bistro setting. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, weekend brunch, and limited room service are available and guests can dine in the hotels' garden courtyard from Easter to Thanksgiving, though no meals are included with bookings. Guests can also order from the Dunbar's dinner and cocktail menu in the hotel's famous Fireside Room, an elegant wood-paneled space with a grand piano and fireplace that often hosts live music, monthly silent reading parties, and performances. The hotel offers a small, 24-hour fitness center, a barber shop/salon, and a massage room, but there is no pool or spa. The Sorrento also has a dedicated concierge,

free shoeshine service, meeting rooms, a 24-hour business center, same-day laundry services, free Wi-Fi, and valet
