Thompson Seattle

Seattle, USA

Virgin rating

The hotel

Like a beautiful, glass puzzle box, this newcomer to Seattle’s luxury boutique hotel scene stands just a block away from Pike Place Market and the waterfront. As such it commands disarming views of Puget Sound through to the distant Olympic Mountains from The Nest – the Thompson Seattle’s urbane rooftop bar and outdoor living room – and many of its rooms and suites – through pulse-quickening, floor-to-ceiling windows. Decorated with elegant materials given quirky contemporary life through an understated colour palette, the look and feel is very much 'comfortable luxury residence'; something that’s only enhanced by a 24-hour fitness centre, complimentary WiFi, and California Kitchen, a restaurant that turns the finest locally sourced ingredients into dishes that become lifelong memories.

Super location, great rooftop lounge, terrific amenities, excellent staff, good food, quick valet. Close to Pikes Market. My only complaint is the scent/fragrance/odor in the front lobby. I wish there was some way for others/owners/choice makers to understand how painful, triggering, and potentially debilitating some intense perfumes are for many… Read more
Super location, great rooftop lounge, terrific amenities, excellent staff, good food, quick valet. Close to Pikes Market. My only complaint is the scent/fragrance/odor in the front lobby. I wish there was some way for others/owners/choice makers to understand how painful, triggering, and potentially debilitating some intense perfumes are for many people. I am all for a light scent to mask the odors of the day, but many of these "atomizers" seem to go way too far. I am grateful Covid made masks more acceptable to wear on a daily basis. Read less

A housekeeper entered my room during my stay without knocking or announcing himself. When asked to leave, he insisted on providing turn down service. I had to tell him an additional 2 times to leave before he left. I grew scared during this encounter that he would not leave - I was alone.

A housekeeper entered my room during my stay without knocking or announcing himself. When asked to leave, he insisted on providing turn down service. I had to tell him an additional 2 times to leave before he left. I grew scared during this encounter that he would not leave - I was alone. I talked with a manager about this incident who made excuses for this person citing cultural differences as the reason the man wouldn't leave my room. This was a totally unacceptable response from a manager. Read less

I love staying at this hotel this is my second time coming here and nothings has changed. Yes its a bit far from the convention center but the amenities and service are the best. Breakfast in the morning is great too.
Image of the Tripadvisor rating It’s ok, but not sure it’s considered a “fine hotel” by AMEX standards

If you’re looking for a quiet nights sleep in room 1211, look elsewhere. You can hear a lot of street noise (people yelling, etc), and can hear chair feet scraping on the floor from the bar above room

We stayed at The Thompson for a 4-day weekend! What a beautiful hotel and the service was phenomenal. The location is fantastic. Near all the waterfront, Pike Public Market. The food in the hotel restaurants was generous and delicious. The beds are so comfortable and the pillows are the best I have ever had at a hotel. I highly recommend this… Read more
