What
W Seattle
Where
Located at 4th and Madison, the W Seattle is in excellent proximity to Pike St Market which is just a 15 mins’ walk away (and I’m a slow walker). And some nice boutiques located a block or 2 away from the hotel. Make sure you check out this delightful little French pastry and coffee place opposite the hotel. Nightlife and food in Capitol Hill are a bit further away but no more than a 5 mins’ cab ride.
WoW
The service and vibe at this hotel were simply fab, despite being warned prior of some of the negative implications a unionised workforce here has had on service. Staff were cross trained – the Welcome Desk folk also staffed the concierge desk and vice versa – so all were equipped to provide advice on the best spots in the city to hit, and answering my inane questions like ‘What would you do on your first day here if it’s your first time to Seattle?’. Kudos especially to Adam, who’s also W Insider at this property, and Leo for being so well-resourced and for all the hints and tips to make my time out more enjoyable, and also Leo for the 'little surprise' platter of fruits, lollies and other stuff. In general, everyone here had that ‘can do’ W attitude and always went that little bit further to enhance the guest experience.
The public areas were simply beautiful. The Living Room was littered with lots of comfy chairs and offered a warm and welcoming environment to chillax in. Hallways were dark and soothing and with cool blue lighting. Great range of music.

cool hallways
The bar at this W was rather busy every night with a decent crowd, and ridiculously friendly bartenders who were so keen to have me experience the best of Seattle’s nightlife that one of them took me out partying on his off-day. Dreadful mojitos notwithstanding (though redeemed by an improvised Millionaire’s Mojito when I’d complained – soda water replaced with sparkling wine – tasty!), the drinks list offered lots of choice and was reasonably priced.
