just wonderful in every way. from greeting by the conciege to the shampoo in the suite. our lunch upon arrival on friday was as sophisticated and good as anything in san francisco and we enjoyed it so much we had sunday bruch before leaving.

can't say enough good things

I travel frequently between Portland and Seattle and regularly spend the night in Seattle. I used to book the best hotel I could find on hotwire or priceline by playing "hotel roulette".Seattle is blessed with a bountiful supply of top flight hotels and I have stayed at some of it's best ie.W,Alexis,Four Seasons.

However,my favorite Seattle hotel to date is the Sorrento. I'm not sure if it is the classic design of yesteryear or the subperb hospitality but I find myself directly inquiring their availability prior to participating in "hotel roulette".

I even stayed the weekend during a college football game and was provided a complimentary limo ride to and from QWEST field. The driver even took us from bar to bar after the game!

In anyevent I highly reccomend the Sorrento Hotel in Seattle.

Our out of town visitors love the old wood, traditional ambience and good food in the hotel. They've reported that their stay is comfy and service has been good. While it's not "right downtown" it is within a few blocks-- easy walking or a quick taxi ride away. (The hotel also has a town car service.) I've also hosted a major event (daughter's wedding) there-- the guests were happy. And incidentally the Hunt Club catered buffet is still the talk of my relatives!!

Every year we stay at the Sorrento during the Christmas holiday. The staff is always friendly and helpfull. We love the old European feeling it has with the different shaped rooms and cozy feeling. It is a true highlight for us, the hotel is always decked out for Christmas and with the fire going in the lounge it makes the perfect end to a day of shopping or theater in Seattle. A tradition we look forward to every year.
