It's close to Elliot's Bay, the aquarium, and pike's market. We loved staying here!!! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r599467 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r599462 Great place to stay. Sleeping in the bed is like sleeping on a cloud. The room is very comfortable and the staff are very polite and helpful. I highly recommend this place to all, we will definitely stay there again. Location is also perfect for downtown. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r599462 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r378434 Why stay here? A few reasons we've found: excellent customer service, comfortable bed, hip atmosphere, clean and extraordinarily dog friendly. We have now made it a habit to stay in Kimpton Hotels when we travel based on our experience here and all have been great. Once you factor in the lack of pet fee, very affordable in comparison to other hotels as well. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r378434 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r599457 Following a fairly intense but fun business conference, I booked an extra day in Seattle to spend with family and friends. The Hotel Monaco was awesome! My early arrival coincided with the Gay Pride Parade so the street scene was vivid and a bit hectic. Entering the lobby, calm enveloped me. The staff welcomed me and I dropped my bag without qualms about security. I was given walking directions to Pike's Market and set off to get a further preview of the parade on my way to breakfast. From Pike's Market, we went to the Seattle Library, a must see. It just happened to be catty corner from this hotel. After receiving a personal phone call to advise my room was ready, we walked across the street to see the room and put up our feet for a moment. You guessed it - from the 9th floor, the view from my room was directly on to the library! The in-room guide books helped us select a wine bar, Purple, just a few blocks down. As our day ran down, we ventured back to the Hotel Monaco for a late night dinner. The chef served us a fig & prosciutto pizza baked in a wood fired oven which was not on the menu, just something he was trying out. Our wine selection started with an Italian rose and concluded with a Williamette Valley Pinot Noir; both excellent. The next morning, my wake up call was made by staff, not a recording! I will book this hotel again and will search for Kimpton Hotels in other travel destinations (as will my friends who had previously stayed in a Kimpton Hotel in San Francisco)! Fun, inspired decor. Friendly, courteous, accommodating staff! Perfect location, seriously. Romantic (I wished my husband was along)! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r599457 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r1042048 It was attractive, perfectly located for my needs, very customer oriented.Nothing.“The Monaco is located right in the center of Seattle activity. It is very attractively decorated and places a premium on customer service. I loved the complimentary wine reception in the evenings and the well equipped bathrooms. All the staff were exceptionally friendly without being intrusive. Very helpful in terms of getting us restaurant reservations and providing other information.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r1042048 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r599468 I chose this hotel largely because it was the cheapest available for this weekend. For $ I think I could have had better. When I arrived at 4 PM, you would think the room would be ready,not so. They told me it was still being "inspected" and would take a few more minutes. After about 20 minutes, they still weren't ready for me and I left my things and came back later. When I returned, the room was ready and don't get me wrong, it was a nice room and the bed was pretty good, but it wasn't worth the $ I paid. Internet in the business center was $ for 15 minutes and there was a snack and drinks tray in the room. You better look over the price list before you open anything. I was advised of a complementary wine tasting I could participate in and I don't know if they do that every night, but it's cheaper than taking anything in the room. Bottom line, they nickel and dime you and weren't even ready for me when I arrived. Not worth $. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r599468 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r1042052 Large room and location.None.“Good location (in the downtown, 15-20 minutes to Safeco field, right next to Starbucks and Seattles best coffee), good house keepings, clean bathroom.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r1042052 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r1042056 The bed was amazingly comfortable.The only ice machine was on the 4th floor.“Friendly staff, great location, we loved it!” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r1042056 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r1042060 The staff was very courteous and helpful. Tops!The $40 per day valet parking.“We loved the hotel, location, and the staff were terrific! Top notch service!” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r1042060 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r1042064 The restaurant was okay; we ate breakfast there.No email response.“I found their email response very poor. We received what was called a "king room"; it had a queen sized bed.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_Seattle_-_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r1042064
