Hotel Sorrento

Hotel Sorrento is a luxury historic hotel at 900 Madison Street on First Hill in Seattle, Washington, a residential and medical district just east of Downtown, often called Pill Hill because of the nearby hospitals. The hotel opened in 1909 and is an Italian Renaissance Revival landmark, with a distinctive courtyard entrance, a fountain and an intimate scale that sets it apart from the glass towers downtown. Downtown, Pioneer Square and Pike Place Market are reachable in about fifteen to twenty-five minutes on foot, or a few minutes by bus, streetcar or ride share, and the First Hill Streetcar stops nearby. The property is a boutique hotel in the United States Pacific Northwest with a quiet, old-world vibe that appeals to couples, medical visitors and travelers who prefer character to convention-scale services. Room types include King and Queen rooms and suites, and published rates run from about $220 to $480 per night. Listed amenities include a restaurant, a bar, fitness access and pet-friendly policies. The hotel has long been known for its wood-paneled lounge with a fireplace, a popular spot for evening drinks, and its dining room offers hotel breakfast and dinner service. Service is personal, with concierge-style help for restaurant reservations, theatre and local excursions. Because the building is more than a century old, room sizes and layouts vary, and guests who want modern spaciousness should check room details before booking. The neighborhood is quiet at night compared with downtown, and visitors using hospitals such as the nearby medical centers often choose the hotel for its proximity. Parking is available at an additional fee, while light rail at Capitol Hill or Pioneer Square connects to the airport. Current rates and pet policies should be confirmed directly with the property before booking. Visitors planning a first trip to Seattle will find the surrounding blocks easy to explore on foot, with galleries, bookshops and cafes close at hand, and the central position keeps most major attractions within a short walk, bus ride or train trip.
