Located 15 minutes’ walk to the Olympic Sculpture Park which overlooks the Puget Sound, the Belltown Inn features a furnished rooftop terrace. Pike Place Market and the Space Needle are within 10 minutes’ walk.

This hotel was a bit expensive than what I usually book, and it showed in daily room service. I appreciated complimentary tea - black and camomile, as I don't drink coffee. They also provided body lotion besides shampoo and conditioner. My room was facing street side, but the glass door was blocking the noise. The heater was functional and I could warm myself up in the evening. They provided kettle and cutlery when I asked.

Built in 1927, this historic hotel located in the center of Seattle is within a 10 minute walk to Pike Place Market. It features Andaluca Restaurant and Oliver’s Lounge. All guest rooms are decorated with traditional furnishings, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the entire property.

Andaluca Restaurant serves Northwest cuisine with a Mediterranean theme. Oliver’s Lounge offers signature martinis and light meals.

The facilities were spotless! Hotel staff were very friendly and ready with helpful tips. The room was old fashioned (which i love), a good size, and had beautiful architectural details in keeping with the time period. Bed was very comfortable. Location is central to most tourist spots downtown and also easy to commute via the link train/buses/tram. I highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again.
