The Alexis Royal Sonesta Hotel Seattle

I stayed at the The Royal Sonesta Seattle in mid-May and had a fantastic experience. Noble at the front desk was so kind, accommodating, and extremely helpful—he set the tone for the whole stay. My room was fabulous, very comfortable, and a great place to unwind. I also loved the restaurant attached to the hotel; it made meals effortless, and the food was excellent. I can’t say enough—highly recommend

Just wow. This place is the best. Staff are warm, generous, and focused on the details that matter. Style is modern and playful. Breakfast at the restaurant is excellent. The "room" (1640) is basically an apartment minus the kitchen. Huge living room and table with six chairs, big separate bedroom, wonderful bathroom, large opening hallway (with a skylight!), and huge windows looking out at the city and a bit of Puget Sound. Hard to believe this is where I landed for three days, what a treat. I'll note that my experience was boosted by Amex platinum ($100 resort credit per room, significant discount below advertised rate, room upgrade, $300 back from hotels credit) and Sonesta Gold benefits (nice welcome package of snacks and sparkling cider, continental breakfast each morning) that you get automatically via Amex --> Hilton Gold --> status match for Sonesta Gold).

Location

wasn’t at all like other reviews. We did not have a nice welcome. Very short…”here’s your keys” no details about wifi or anything else. Did not receive $12 credit to the cafe or any information at all about anything. Just not a welcoming hotel at all.

TOTAL Rip-off. The shower handle was broken, the TV was glitching, and the restaurant was closed so I couldn’t use my $12 credit. Also cost $25 to rent a movie because you can’t stream anything, but then the TV was glitching so it was impossible to watch it. I had high expectations given it’s an AMEX hotel. I was very disappointed.

Stayed in a suite. Room smelled funky. Could be old hotel smell but it was stronger in the bedroom than in the hallway. Carpeted floors that are so thin you can feel the concrete or whatever is hard underneath. One sink in the bathroom for a suite. No fridge. And the worst part was the shower never got hot enough to not be annoyed the whole time you’re in there. Only good thing is proximity to stadiums and markets and the downstairs bartender who pours em heavy. Wouldn’t stay again.

Beautiful architecture, artworks and modern facilities

The view from our room was second to none. We were warmly welcomed and cared for by all the staff , but specifically Dylan, who took a special interest in us while we were there. The amenities, the room and the comfort of the bed were amazing as well. We had the time of our lives!

I was delighted to upgraded to a room with a view. Particularly being my first trip to Seattle it made it very special. The room was quiet, comfortable and felt luxurious, particularly the spa bathroom

I was hugely disatisfied by the lack of food service-- bar closed early, no room service and the day I checked out I had to wait 20 minutes just for a coffee and croissant. The coffee shop was woefully understaffed.

Lovely room with a birds nest in the tree outside. Surprisingly quiet and very comfy bed. Tea and coffee making in room and in lobby in the morning. So convenient to stadiums & market
