A vibrant boutique luxury hotel in downtown Seattle known for its bold design, complimentary evening wine hour, and the Mediterranean-inspired Sazerac restaurant. Pet-friendly with a playful, artistic atmosphere.
Hotel Monaco Seattle is one of downtown Seattle's most distinctive boutique properties, offering a vibrant alternative to the city's more traditional luxury hotels. Located at 1101 Fourth Avenue in the core of downtown Washington's largest city — a short walk from the convention center, Pioneer Square, the Seattle Art Museum, and the waterfront — the Monaco blends bold visual design with attentive service and a warm, inclusive atmosphere built around the Kimpton Hotels philosophy.
The hotel's 189 rooms and suites are decorated in Hotel Monaco's signature eclectic style, with rich jewel tones, patterned textiles, and Pacific Northwest artwork. Each room category differs in layout and design — suites include separate living areas, and the top-floor Spa Suite features a private soaking tub. The hotel occupies a renovated 1930s office building, giving rooms unusually high ceilings for their class, and corner suites offer dramatic views over Fourth Avenue toward Puget Sound.
Dining at Hotel Monaco Seattle centers on Sazerac, a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant named for the classic New Orleans cocktail. Sazerac is known for its ambitious cocktail program and Pacific Northwest-inflected menu of shared plates, house-cured meats, and fresh seafood. The bar is a popular after-work gathering spot for Seattle's downtown workforce. A complimentary hosted wine hour takes place every evening in the lobby — a Kimpton brand tradition that encourages guests to socialize.
The hotel is famously pet-friendly: pets of any size are welcome at no extra charge, and the hotel provides amenities including pet beds, food bowls, and referrals to dog-walking and grooming services. Human guests appreciate complimentary in-room yoga mats, on-request bicycles for exploring Seattle's waterfront trail, and access to a fitness center.
The Hotel Monaco's Fourth Avenue location places it within walking distance of the Seattle Convention Center, Pioneer Square's historic district and galleries, and the Pike-Pine corridor of Capitol Hill.
