Hotels Near Alair in Seattle

I recently stayed at this hotel in Seattle Washington. The location is in the middle of activities, the spectacular restaurant 13 coins is connected to the hotel, warm pool, hot and bubbly jaccuzi and great customer service by Betty and a female employee in the evening working near the buffett on Monday, September 5th. I cannot recall her name, and no one at the hotel could provide a name to me to deliver accolades and kudos.

I love Kimpton properties and the Palladium did not disappoint. Traveling during COVID can be tricky, but I felt perfectly comfortable at the Palladium with the precautions being taken. First, let's start with the staff. I called prior to my arrival and spoke with Jonathan because I wanted to ensure my room type. He was extremely helpful and even remembered me at check-in. We're in Seattle to celebrate our birthdays and Jonathan graciously upgraded our room. The level of service we received from both Jonathan and Sahara was superb! They were both genuinely pleasant and friendly every time we passed the front desk, and not that I'm only being nice because it's my job friendly 😉. We talked places to visit, restaurant suggestions, etc. LOCATION - located about 2 blocks from Pike Place and the Market. It took us about 7-10 mins (if that). We also walked to Pier 56 for dinner at infamous Ivers. There's countless restaurants within walking distance. We decided to Uber to the Space Needle for less than $7, which we could have walked to in probably 15mins. Arriving from the airport was about $42 in an Uber so we decided to be adventurous and take the light rail for $3 each and took about 40mins. From the station it was about a 12min walk (uphill 😊). Property - as a Kimpton it was full of charm. I missed the usual beverage offerings, but I'm sure that's thanks to COVID. The hotel and rooms are quaint and full of character. The one bedroom is spacious with a separate living room equipped with table and TV. The bathroom is amazing with footed tub and huge shower. The bedroom really makes you feel at home and not a hotel room. I just missed the character pillow. Maybe they aren't putting them out because of COVID. Overall - Stay here! You will be happy with your choice just as I am.

I was determined to book this hotel for our 20th wedding anniversary trip to Seattle, which is good, because frustrations with the All.com, fairmont.com websites and the Accor ALL app made it a challenge to actually do so. When I finally booked, I put a note on the booking that it was a very special occasion. We arrived by cab. While the four bellmen at the front did help unload the luggage, they also told us we seemed capable of carrying the bags in ourselves. I'm not sure if that's because we didn't arrive in an upscale SUV, or if the hotel just takes a passive approach to greeting guests. The underwhelming continued when we checked in, and I was asked what brought us to Seattle. I reiterated what was on the booking -- very special anniversary, chose to come to the Olympic Hotel to celebrate. ”Oh, congratulations. Elevators are behind you across the lobby.”. As a platinum member, a certain number of perks are granted. We arrived to a plate of bonbons and some fresh fruit. It's the fist hotel I've stayed at that actually did supply fitness gear (per Platinum perks), which was a nice surprise. I was less pleasantly surprised to find no mini-bar in the room, not even an empty fridge. I'd booked the Signature King Corner View, and it had what is likely one of the best views in the hotel. The room was nicely sized, with a desk, sitting chair and ottoman, and the king bed, with windows all around. The bed was super comfortable (as expected!). The bathroom was spacious, but in need of renovation -- at very least, to replace the old, tiny tub/shower and under-pressured, inferior shower fixtures, as well as the tile throughout. It was clean, or at least mostly, and while towels were showing some age, they were still fluffy. Amenities were a bit more limited than other properties, but we knew we could call down for extras if we needed to. Staff in hallways were friendly, and anything left in the hallway seemed to disappear quickly enough (ie room service trays and other detritus). Requests for amenities (pillows, coffee/tea replenishment) were met quickly and graciously. But... the door/bellmen were routinely disinterested -- the number of times we pushed through the main doors while they stood off to the side talking to one another was surprising. (Guests arriving in elegant dresses? Lots of help. In a shiny SUV or luxury car? Loads of reaction. But two 40-somethings dressed casually, but paying plenty to stay at the hotel? Not so much a glance or offer of help.) Housekeeping is rather annoyingly ”on demand only”, but we happily found our room had been serviced on our first day while we were out -- and when we called on subsequent days to request service, the response was gracious -- and the room was always done by the time we returned. Room service (breakfast one morning) was fast and delicious. Service in the lobby bar was friendly and the drinks were delicious. There are two restaurants -- The George and Shuckers -- and the lobby bar offers

A roomy room with a decent view. The staff was kind and attentive. I liked being able to walk to the museum and to Target. Alexa in the room was a nice touch. The inside doors of the elevators need revisiting and numbering order in them is one of a kind.

The Renaissance Seattle Hotel is located at the foot of downtown, the gateway to the city’s restaurants, shopping and attractions. The property is clean and attractive with upscale finishes and an accommodating staff. The room was well laid out, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was small but quite usable. The location near I-5 notwithstanding, the room was quiet and peaceful. Breakfast food was of high quality and served in a bright, inviting space with good service. I did notice a gratuity of 20% already had been added and suspect some people unwittingly pay 2 tips.

I arrived a bit early and dropped bag and got an email to say my room was ready not long after so got to check in early. Everything just works here - friendly staff, all as expected. Gym is awesome and clean too.

I had the opportunity to stay at Warwick, Seattle for just one night! We landed in Seattle and drove straight to the hotel. The lobby is clean and inviting, with a fire lit in the fireplace. Check in was easy, shortly after arrival to our room a bottle of champagne and chocolate cake was delivered to us! Bonus points after a long day of traveling! The room was clean and in order. The highlight has to be the views of the city - they were absolutely incredible! We sat on the bed drinking champagne while listening and watching the energy of the city below. We only had one day in Seattle, so in the morning we checked out of the hotel. They allowed us to leave out car parked in their garage while we explored the city for the morning! This gave them extra bonus points, it was so nice to not have to deal with finding more parking elsewhere. The hotel was walking distance to cute breakfast cafes and pikes place market! We walked down to the market from the hotel, and have such a lovely morning. I would definitely recommend a stay at Warwick! It is worth the price, and the price is extremely reasonable. With the views offered, you can't beat the price!

Great venue in terms of location. Staff very helpful. The real downer was the cleaning.Although our room was cleaned to good standard, the public area was not. One of the rooms opposite had a discarded cleaners black glove outside on the floor for 2 days. Also by the lifts on the 26th floor was a discarded coffee cup on the table. This was left there when we arrived and was still there when we checked out.

When I a arrived the lobby seemed to be a very nice place to lounge in the bar was elegant and the receptionist was patient and helpful with me when I was having issues with my card. And to top it off I got a great room with complete silence. The hotel is at great walking and tram distance from everything you want to see in Seattle. I had a great time and would stay here again

Great hotel awesome location. The gym was great they have a sauna and hot tub. Parking also isn't too expensive. Definitely a plus in Seattle. The room we stayed at looked like they rushed to clean it. Hair was still in the tub...safe to say we didn't use it. When booking our room the descriptions categorize the room as ”lake view”. That should definitely be updated to say ”city view” not ”lake view”. Kind of upset that we didn't know ahead of time because we would've upgraded if we would've known sooner. Also beware of construction being done in the city!!when we stayed 3 out of the 4 roads around the hotel were under construction. 2 of those roads were closed off and the city started work at 6am on Saturdays. 630am came around and there were jack hammers being used on the roads that could be heard on the 15th floor. All in all I would stay here again but would do more research before booking.
