Hotel Description
Welcome to the elegant Hotel Sorrento, a distinguished 4-star establishment nestled in the vibrant heart of Seattle, Washington. This refined sanctuary at 900 Madison Street stands as a testament to sophisticated hospitality in Seattle’s First Hill neighborhood, offering discerning travelers an exceptional blend of classic charm and modern comfort. With an impressive guest rating of 8.3, Hotel Sorrento has established itself as a highly regarded destination for visitors seeking quality accommodations in the Pacific Northwest’s emerald city.
Perfectly positioned in Seattle’s historic First Hill district, Hotel Sorrento provides convenient access to the city’s most coveted attractions. Just moments away from downtown Seattle, guests can easily explore the iconic Pike Place Market, where local vendors showcase the region’s finest produce, handcrafted goods, and the famous fish-throwing tradition that has delighted visitors for generations. The hotel’s strategic location also places it within comfortable walking distance of Seattle’s vibrant arts district, including the prestigious Frye Art Museum and the Seattle Symphony at Benaroya Hall. For business travelers, the hotel’s proximity to Seattle’s financial district and the Washington State Convention Center makes it an ideal home base for productive visits. While the hotel itself is situated in Seattle proper rather than Bellevue, guests can easily access Bellevue’s business centers and shopping destinations via a scenic drive across Lake Washington, allowing visitors to experience the best of both urban centers during their stay.
Hotel Sorrento distinguishes itself not only through its prime location but also through its commitment to exceptional service, reflected in its strong 8.3 rating from satisfied guests. This historic hotel, with its distinctive Italian-inspired architecture, offers an atmosphere of refined elegance that modern chain hotels simply cannot replicate. Each well-appointed room serves as a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring Seattle’s diverse neighborhoods or conducting business in the city’s thriving commercial centers. The hotel’s respected dining options provide guests with culinary experiences worthy of Seattle’s reputation as a food lover’s paradise, featuring locally-sourced ingredients that showcase the Pacific Northwest’s abundant natural resources. Whether visiting for business or leisure, Hotel Sorrento offers a distinguished address that connects guests to Seattle’s rich cultural tapestry while providing a serene haven from the city’s energetic pace.

Reviews
Dara from United States – 5 May 2025 (8/10)
Beautiful hotel and piece of Seattle history.
What could be improved: First Hill is a tough neighborhood for parking. Valet was full as well as the public lot across the street. We’d recommend arriving late afternoon, or right after check out if you have a car and park it for 24 hrs in the lot.. Then, explore the city without it. There are easy buses, Ubers, and light rail downtownDonna from United States – 12 March 2025 (9/10)
Spacious and beautifully appointed rooms. Friendly helpful staff. Very comfortable. Small historic hotel.
What could be improved: Lots of extra costs like expensive valet parking and early check in, to be expected in a boutique hotel. But doesn’t add up to good value.Gail from United States – 11 November 2024 (8/10)
Good location, comfortable rooms.
What could be improved: The vibe was old school and staid. We would have liked something more modern.Angelique from Australia – 21 August 2024 (8/10)
A lovely historic hotel with boutique rooms, larger than pictured actually. Great location and plenty of street parking around the blocks. I wouldn’t worry about parking too much

History
What could be improved: No air conditioningDerek from United Kingdom – 3 July 2024 (8/10)
Beautiful old hotel with loads of character. Felt clean and modern inside despite its age. Family room was great for three of us. Staff were friendly and engaging.
What could be improved: We had a 20 year old as part of our group and she wasn’t allowed into two of the three social spaces in the hotel due to US licensing laws. Left us with the restaurant as the only space to relax in despite the beautiful foyer surroundings.Roger from United States – 2 July 2024 (9/10)
Unique and interesting, not your typical hotel.
Vanessa from United States – 29 June 2024 (7/10)
Cozy spaces
What could be improved: There was chemical smell in the room. Elevator was out of service, and our room was on the 5th floor
