Inn at the Market
Seattle, Washington
Pike Place Market
Vibe
Above Pike Place Market’s bustle, the rooftop deck gives hotel guests a place to linger overlooking Elliott Bay.
“Market courtyard hideaway”
Redesigned in 2025, waterfront rooms frame Elliott Bay through floor-to-ceiling bay windows.
Breakfast from Bacco and evening room dining from Café Campagne bring meals upstairs.
Bacco serves Dungeness crab eggs Benedict; Café Campagne brings Post Alley cooking upstairs.
Inside Pike Place Market, with Post Alley restaurants, produce stalls, and waterfront paths outside.
“Though the Market itself is rather busy, the Inn itself is a welcome hideaway, with nothing more than a discreet little sign…”
Rooms
Pike Place Waterview rooms frame Elliott Bay through floor-to-ceiling bay windows, with custom king beds and Sferra linens.
“Flames dance prettily inside the lobby fireplace, giving the room an urban lodge vibe that feels just right on a rainy day at Seattle’s iconic Pike Place Market”
Backstory
An army surplus shop and Pine Street Tavern once occupied this corner, now home to a market hotel.
Eat & drink
Bacco serves Dungeness crab eggs Benedict, Sushi Kashiba focuses on sushi and omakase, and independently operated Café Campagne sends French classics upstairs.
The neighborhood
Post Alley restaurants and produce stalls surround you, with staircases leading down toward the waterfront and Seattle Great Wheel.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
