Seattle's oldest continuously operating hotel, opened 1909 on First Hill — the Sorrento's Italian Renaissance exterior and Fireside Room mahogany-panelled bar are genuine Seattle landmarks. 76 rooms with genuine period character and better natural light than many downtown alternatives. The Dunbar Room is one of the city's better hotel restaurants. A quieter, more residential option for visitors who prefer character and history to rooftop bars and lobby scenes.
Why We Chose It
Seattle's oldest continuously operating hotel, opened 1909 on First Hill — the Sorrento's Italian Renaissance exterior and Fireside Room mahogany-panelled bar are genuine Seattle landmarks. 76 rooms with genuine period character and better natural light than many downtown alternatives. The Dunbar Room is one of the city's better hotel restaurants. A quieter, more residential option for visitors who prefer character and history to rooftop bars and lobby scenes. Confirm room outlook, hills and walking route, parking or valet fees, destination charges, pool access, accessibility, and cancellation terms before booking.
What Stands Out
- Fireside Room — wood-panelled lounge since 1909
- Dunbar Room restaurant
- Italian Renaissance architecture
- First Hill neighborhood — historic character
