Once a year Mardi and I sneak off to experience Seattle as visitors. Our Stay always includes an indulgent dinner at the Hunt Club and a pampered overnight stay at The Sorrento.
A striking combination of beauty and history is found in Seattle's notable Sorrento Hotel. Located in downtown on First Hill, the hotel is a central point for exploring Seattle icons such as the Space Needle and Pike Place Market. The Sorrento provides sophisticated accommodations within a historic city landmark-and excellent service to match.
An Icon of Seattle
The Sorrento was built in 1909 and showcases the talents of architect Harlan Thomas, whose design was inspired by a visit to Sorrento, Italy. Reflecting this classic style today is the hotel's Fireside Room, with its dark wooden paneling and comfortable furniture. Guests may appreciate this décor during afternoon tea, served every day with a full selection of teas, finger sandwiches, sweets and the requisite scones with Devonshire cream. If you're too late for tea, it's also a fine spot to have a drink before dinner.
There have been lots of new hotels in Seattle, but none of them quite have the sophistication and touch of class that exists at the Sorrento. When we come west, this is the only place we stay.
