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.

Our trip to Seattle was carefully budgeted, with our stay prepaid and verified before arrival, except for the deposit. I confirmed this by phone prior to our trip. However, during self-check-in from the airport, we were unexpectedly charged an additional $2,200 for our stay.
Upon arriving at the hotel, the first staff member we encountered was dismissive, redirecting us to another front desk worker. This second employee was more helpful and explained that the extra charge was an error. We were assured that the funds would be promptly released back to our account.
Unfortunately, we needed these funds to fully enjoy our vacation. The hotel failed to follow through on their promise, and we didn't receive the $2,200 refund until after check-out. This significantly impacted our planned vacation experience.
While the second front desk worker was courteous, the initial miscommunication and delayed refund were disappointing aspects of our stay.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Just stayed here a night, but the room was super comfy and so was the bed. Nice staff and great restaurant. The food was excellent. Even the roof top bar was really nice. Incredible view. The location is also perfect for anyone visiting downtown.
