Accommodations in Seattle, WA

Hotel Monaco Seattle

Hotel Monaco is a boutique style accommodation located in the core of downtown Seattle and within pleasant walking distance to Pike Place Market, Pine Street shopping, Pioneer Square, and the crowd gathering Waterfront. In other words it's perfectly located.

Guests arriving by car are greeted by swift and friendly Valet service that albeit comes with a hefty $39/night parking fee. However, this is no slight to Hotel Monaco as overnight parking pricing in downtown Seattle is atrocious yet needs to be accepted if one intends on visiting Emerald City. Once whisked through the doors the reservations staff will have your room key cards in hand before you have a chance to admire the contemporary chandelier dripping decor. Those coming with kids will adore the attention that their children receive at Hotel Monaco, including the Mr.Rogers-like tickle trunk by reception where mini-guests are allowed to select a toy for keeps. Before moving on up to their rooms temporary residents admire the on-site restaurant, convenient (and open late!) gift shop, fitness facility, business center, lounge lobby, and a burgundy pair of hipster styled town bikes for those looking to pair off and explore the town on pedal.

The elevators are quick in this non-high-rise (8 above ground floors) accommodation and the halls towards the rooms are dimmed in upscale sepia. A Standard King room, a common choice for those looking for luxury under a budgeted blanket, does the job for those needing a comfortable place to rest their heads without much desire to spend too much time hanging out indoors during waking hours. The aforementioned location convenience indeed keeps traffic flowing in and out of the Hotel Monaco - with so much to see surrounding this modern boutique accommodation the allure to stay within (tempting) can hardly compete with the pull to explore, even on rainy Seattle days.
