Kimpton Hotel Vintage Seattle

Seattle, USA

Virgin rating

The hotel

It’s not called ‘Vintage’ for nothing — this is the Grand Cru of Seattle hotels, with interiors, wine lists, and social get togethers, all under the influence of Washington State’s wine country. It may be in downtown Seattle, but step into this boutique retreat and you may feel like you’re in a tasting room, surrounded by earthy shades blended with grape greens and burgundy. It’s the perfect place to sample the region’s fine tipples, with a complimentary wine hour every evening. Why not move on to the award-winning Tulio Ristorante, where you can tuck into Italian classics that come with a fresh Northwest twist — and a wine cellar of course.

Where is it

In downtown Seattle, on Fifth Avenue, in one direction you’ve got Pioneer Square’s preppy bookstores and galleries, and in the other you’ve got Pike Place Market, Westlake Center, and Pacific Place’s gourmet food and fashion. It’s also just a short walk from the waterfront, a block from the business district, and a few blocks from art and culture, including Seattle Art Museum (SAM), Benaroya Symphony Hall, and 5th Avenue Theater.

Nov 20, 2023 peewee007 New York City, New York

The room was nice, clean, comfy, but there was some kind of horrible noise that started before 6 AM, sounded like an army of lawnmowers chasing a diesel truck; even noise cancelling headphones didn’t help. The front desk acted surprised and said they’d look into it. The rooms are unusable until they figure out what it is.

Loud and dirty and not to the Kimpton standard. The location is good but I have trouble finding any other positives. These 5 star reviews have me very confused. I was barely greeted.

Loud and dirty and not to the Kimpton standard. The location is good but I have trouble finding any other positives. These 5 star reviews have me very confused. I was barely greeted. I could hear my neighbors talking through the walls. The restaurant was very loud and they could not move my room. Dusty. Musty. A hair on the made bed that was not mine. If I was staying for more than a night I would have moved hotels. Read less

We stayed here after being at The Gorge for a concert and wanted to spend a few days in Seattle. The hotel is right downtown and you really have to pay attention to where the parking garage entrance is when arriving. That honestly is the most negative thing I can say. The staff is great, especially Del, the parking attendant and guide to all! … Read more
We stayed here after being at The Gorge for a concert and wanted to spend a few days in Seattle. The hotel is right downtown and you really have to pay attention to where the parking garage entrance is when arriving. That honestly is the most negative thing I can say. The staff is great, especially Del, the parking attendant and guide to all! The rooms are on the small side as is expected in a city but still plenty of room. The bed was really comfortable! We enjoy walking so we were happy with the location. 4 blocks to Pike Market Place, and 2 more to the Sunset Cruise. The Space Needle would be an Uber for many people but it was a beautiful late summer day so we walked and then came back along the water. Read less

Great central location with good sized rooms and a very welcoming reception team and area. Some aspects of the hotel quite tired and part of our floor was missing a carpet (!) but I think this was part of renovation. Overall a good hotel though and would stay again.

Very helpful, responded to our one issue immediately and thoroughly. Friendly, enjoyed job. Coffee ready before 430 am, which was great for an early riser like me. Even on weekend. Plenty of hot, quiet, even in busy area. Read less
