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.

I spent 3 nights at the hotel in mid-July and parked my car with the concierge. They billed me parking for each night of the stay and then added a separate line item for the total amount of the parking lumped all together, so I was double charged parking. I have called multiple times, only to be passed around from one department to another, and left several voicemails for accounting and sat on hold for over half an hour with no one answering the call. They don't return phone calls and no one wants to take any accountability or help resolve this issue. $205 for parking is a lot for 3 nights. I am not willing to pay $411 because someone screwed up and put it on my bill twice. The only recourse I seem to have is to leave terrible reviews. This is the second time this has happened with a Hyatt hotel since April of this year (first time was in San Diego) and I received terrible service there as well that is still unresolved. This is shameful for a hotel chain that is supposed to be superior. I expected better of Hyatt. I will definitely not be returning to any Hyatt in the future. Hilton offers much better customer service. Read less

The MOST AWFUL hotel I have stayed in, all my years of travel. I will start with the worst in that they charged us TWICE for our 2 night stay, saying it was a hold for incidentals, $1 819.92 we are now told we have to wait ONE MONTH before our funds get returned to us as it is pending and is being held in reserve.

The MOST AWFUL hotel I have stayed in, all my years of travel. I will start with the worst in that they charged us TWICE for our 2 night stay, saying it was a hold for incidentals, $1 819.92 we are now told we have to wait ONE MONTH before our funds get returned to us as it is pending and is being held in reserve. The correct charge was ALSO deducted. What would you do if you have no extra liquidity in your bank and your hotel just HOLDS nearly $2 000.00. And NO ONE seems eager to assist. We arrived after travelling for 23 hours pulled up out front to have no porters offering to assist with our luggage, and were not even sure if this was a hotel as it was so unwelcoming. Then to find that the system was not working and we had to wait for 30 minutes exhausted without and offer of a drink, baggage storage or a more detailed explanation, so 6 of us sat around like we were at a backpackers with our luggage around a reception area. Please note we arrived AFTER check in time we got to the hotel around 16:00. Then then credit card machine had a problem, and the guy checking us in using an old credit card machine, that i think was last used in the 80's, a manual imprinter, but our card is not embossed so he nearly damaged our card. NO help to the room, SUPER Expensive at nearly $800 per night. TINY room one single cupboard, no space for luggage, one gown (we booked a double room with 2 names for a married couple). A VERY noisy air-conditioner that kept us awake and did not cool the room which was hot. The ONLY saving grace was the roof top bar where the service was good but not enough shade so it was very hot. I could go on. Because of my experience with this hotel i will never visit Seattle again it was a TERRIBLE choice. Read less

We stayed in this amazing hotel before our Alaskan cruise. The staff is awesome. Walking distance to the market. Only negative is the rooms are small. Would different stay again. Great location for a weekend in Seattle easy walk to many restaurants and area attractions.

We enjoyed our stay at the Thompson - in the heart of everything downtown Seattle, yet inside nice and quiet.

Had a horrible customer service experience at the Roof Top Bar…and have yet to hear back from management in over a week. As a guest at the Thompson Hotel for two nights I left Seattle and was sad to say this experience ruined my trip overall. Hope to hear from someone soon.
