Coastal urban bolthole
A coastal palette and cozy seating nooks give this downtown outpost a relaxed, residential feel in the financial core.
“The lobby feels more like a stylish living room than a hotel common space, where cozy nooks host guests chatting over bruschetta and Washington wines.”
Where it shines
Notable
Sculptural furnishings and cool palettes evoke Lake Washington underwater forests across renovated rooms.

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Though located deep in the heart of Seattle’s financial district, Hotel Monaco is anything but the typical drab business accommodation.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Seattle Central Library sits just around the corner, and Pike Place Market is an easy walk away.
The rooms
Oversized windows bring in generous light across cool-toned rooms, and king categories include deep soaking tubs.
The gym
The fitness center has cardio machines and free weights around the clock, with loaner PUBLIC bikes available for city rides.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Marin serves Pacific Northwest seafood beside ribbed banquettes, and the heated outdoor patio has open fire pits.
How it began
Opened in 1996 as a Kimpton original, the hotel swapped its eccentric colors for sleek coastal finishes in 2025.
