Thompson Seattle

Seattle, USA

Star rating

The hotel

Like a beautiful, glass puzzle box, this newcomer to Seattle’s luxury boutique hotel scene stands just a block away from Pike Place Market and the waterfront. As such it commands disarming views of Puget Sound through to the distant Olympic Mountains from The Nest – the Thompson Seattle’s urbane rooftop bar and outdoor living room – and many of its rooms and suites – through pulse-quickening, floor-to-ceiling windows. Decorated with elegant materials given quirky contemporary life through an understated colour palette, the look and feel is very much 'comfortable luxury residence'; something that’s only enhanced by a 24-hour fitness centre, complimentary WiFi, and California Kitchen, a restaurant that turns the finest locally sourced ingredients into dishes that become lifelong memories.

The front desk is helpful and nice. They have great cookies if you ask for one. They were helpful with advice on food and directions. The hotel is perfectly located in Seattle. You can be at the market in minutes and it is a 15 min walk to the Amazon buildings (if you work at Amazon).

Beautiful view for the price point. Worth the extra upgrade to have port view and Pike’s market view. Amenities like microwave is upon request. Free champagne, cookies, and water upon arrival. Friendly staff, fast room service. Only con is the AC takes 2-3 hrs to kick in and some noise level from the streets.

My wife and I booked 1 night at Thompson Seattle for our 15 year wedding anniversary. We booked a decent room online, but upon arriving at the hotel, we were informed that they upgraded us to the penthouse suite. What a generous offer!! We were blown away by the hospitality and felt very special as we celebrated our night. The room was immaculate! The room was spacious and luxurious! The living room and bedroom had large floor to ceiling windows that overlooked STUNNING vistas of Elliott Bay, Pike Place Market, Seattle Waterfront, and the Olympics. PNW's beauty in full display. Their rooftop bar "The Nest" is the coolest rooftop bar we've been to in Seattle. It has both covered and open areas with those same views. We left for dinner before sunset, so we'll have to go there another time soon. We WILL be back! Our new favorite spot in Seattle. Thank you again for the kind gesture of making our night special with the upgrade to the suite. We've been telling everyone about our perfect weekend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read less

The staff here are so wonderful! From the front desk to the rooftop bar, everyone is friendly and super helpful. The rooms are lovely and the ones that face Elliot Bay have stunning views. The breakfast room service was delicious. The location is super convenient to Puke Place Market.
