Home away from home

The Monaco staff make you feel like an honored guest. The concierge is fantastic, outstanding location and dozens of "special touches" like morning coffee and afternoon wine!

A bit kitchy, but very comfortable

Very responsive staff, very comfortable room. Decor tries a little to hard to be hip, but is OK.

Not living up to the Kimpton name

Our first time to this hotel and the visit left something to be desired. Coming from San Francisco, we know the Kimpton name and brand mean something, but this place is a work in progress. When we asked the desk clerk for a recommendation for lunch, we drew a blank stare. I clarified the criteria by stating we wanted something that would show off local/regional ingredients, not touristy and not a chain; he still seemed at a loss. But what took the cake, and will probably preclude our ever staying there again was the last day of our visit. The day before, we requested a late check out (2:00 p.m.) since we had time to rest before our flight; it didn't appear to be a problem with the front desk. However, we were disturbed/woken up not one, not two, not three, but FOUR times by different housekeeping staff wanting to clean the room. Come on - really? When we advised the front desk clerk he responded that it shouldn't have happened since they had a list of late check outs. Well, did anyone circulate, read and/or understand the list? He said he would "talk to someone" about it; somehow, I did not find that promise to be credible and at that point it was no consolation to us. We might give a Kimpton sister property our business in the future, but the Monaco has seen the last of us.

Unbeatable location for the price

We went to the space needle and people market. I would it like to have a Coffee maker. It was good.

great hotel- location, service excellent

In my grand daughters words- the hotel felt like home away from home. Assistance was available for anything we might need including directions and suggestions for fun things to do. I would definitely stay here again.

Monaco Seattle

Lovely hotel, great interior decorating. Room service breakfast not as listed on menu- no fresh fruit, raisins and brown sugar already on oatmeal, not even a drop of milk for the oatmeal, and not even a glass of water delivered with the breakfast. Kind of disappointing for a high-end hotel.

Great Location, Great Service, Fun Hotel

My sister and I went to Seattle to celebrate my birthday and have an urban-girls-getaway-weekend. We chose the Hotel Monaco because of its location, other reviews, and photos of the hotel. You can't beat this location! Right in the heart of downtown Seattle, and walking distance to just about everything. We relied on public transportation (or our own feet) during our stay. From Sea-Tac we hopped on the light rail and had just a 2 block walk to the hotel. The hotel staff were super friendly and accommodating. When they found out it was my birthday they sent a bottle of champagne and some chocolates to our room. Complimentary morning coffee and evening happy hour were a nice bonus. The lively decor and goldfish room companion help make this a fun and unique hotel.

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

Buy some fresh baked bread from any downtown bakery, get a crab cocktail to go from a Pike Place fish monger, sit in the park and eat! Can't beat that meal!!
