A beautiful European gem in prime location!

Beautiful European vibes in the heart of Ballard! Feels luxurious & special. Several delicious eateries steps away, including Stoneburner, Sabine, San Fermo, Situ Tacos, & more. Can’t beat the walkable location. Very quiet in room, despite the street facing balcony (sooo Parisian!). We were on 4th floor, so we could hear music event in 5th floor Pavilion, but it was over by 10pm, & we didn’t mind the fun atmosphere of live music. Bed & linens are incredibly comfortable. Love the robes. Bathroom is high quality with separate toilet room, which is always appreciated! Unfortunately, no room service; would be so cool if they partnered with Stoneburner for that! Would love if the fresh coffee was available all day in the lobby. Definitely a beautiful spot for anyone!!

Having a Blast in Ballard

It is in a fantastic location in the Ballard District. We ate a delicious dinner at the Stoneburner Restaurant attached to the hotel and walked out the front door to a festive Farmer's Market Sunday morning. The room was clean and quiet and the staff was very helpful.

Wonderful hotel and friendly staff. We had a great night sleep.

This is our go-to spot in Seattle and we stay here at least once a year. Super walkable with great shops and restaurants and Sunday morning farmers market all right outside.

Great Property miserable staff

Service was very average, a property that this could be one of the best in the city if the staff don’t have such a miserable attitude

Great location!
Scott, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Style staff was very nice, the rooms were clean with the softest towels you’ve ever used. Bed is very comfortable, pillows not so much. Great location for walking around Ballard and tasting the yummy food, just don’t expect much to be open on Monday’s. The parking garage ceiling is very very low, be aware! The suv we had barely fit.

Jacquelin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is beautiful, the area around the hotel is lively and has many bars and in restaurants. The bed could’ve been a bit more comfortable and they only have room service for like four hours a day so I thought that was kind of different.
