Kimpton Hotel Vintage Seattle
Seattle, Washington
Central Business District
Vibe
The lobby living room pairs contemporary banquettes with a hosted evening wine hour, bringing Washington wine country into downtown Seattle.
“Washington wine sanctuary”
Hand-dyed cork artwork above headboards and jewel-toned fabrics bring Washington wine country indoors.
The lobby living room hosts wine hour; Tulio Bar offers eight counter seats.
Washington wine shapes the hotel's identity, from cork artwork to hosted evening pours.
On Fifth Avenue in Seattle’s business district, within walking distance of Pike Place Market.
“The new look is suitably grown-up, but not overly so — dark colors, rich textures, well-chosen furnishings, and a surprising amount of sunlight streaming in through the full-length windows”
Rooms
Hand-dyed cork artwork hangs above the headboards, while jewel-toned fabrics carry the Washington wine theme into the guest rooms.

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.
