Concierge "Though its central location makes the Arctic Club ideal year-round, in summer you can stroll the waterfront, just five blocks from the hotel."
Condé Nast Traveler "Such attention to detail, paired with equally attentive staff, makes the hotel warm and welcoming." Full review
Star Service "This is one of Doubletree's most intriguing properties to date and the polar opposite of its 800-room sibling near the airport. It has an upscale twist that makes a great first impression." Full review
Zagat4.3
"There's "no better place to kick off an expedition" than this "unique" turn-of-the-century Downtown chain outpost."
Frommer's "Today the Arctic Club Seattle is one of the prettiest historic buildings in Seattle and should be your first choice if you enjoy staying in historic hotels." Full review

Be sure to sneak a peek inside the Northern Lights Dome Room, a grand hall with original frescoes, a stained-glass ceiling, and lots of ornate plasterwork and gilding.
Fodor's "The Arctic Club pays homage to an era of Gold Rush opulence. Fun touches like trunks for bedside tables and walrus bottle openers continue the arctic club theme." Full review

Choose from rooms with whirlpools or deluxe showers; a few rooms have outdoor terraces.
Gayot "Formerly a men's club for veterans of the Alaska gold rush, this downtown hotel offers all of the perks of a luxury hotel as well as a colorful historic background."
Frommer's "The rooms, with their big windows, king-sized beds and Art Deco–style armchairs...great location for exploring the oldest and most architecturally interesting part of Seattle (Pioneer Square)" Full review

Rough Guide "Plush decor at this top-notch hotel, as well as a spa and steam room, just south of Pike Place Market."

Each morning, guests receive newspapers; each evening, they get a wine reception; and each night, upon request, chocolates come with turndown.
Michelin Guide "This luxury boutique hotel, ensconced in a historic building, combines Northwest art and over-the-top service."
Gayot "This luxury boutique hotel isn't just near many of Seattle's major attractions --- it's also one of them."
BlackBook "Not the hippest stay in town, but rooms that showcase exposed brick and a hotel rocking the early works of Dale Chihuly on the walls? Not the stuffiest, either."
Zagat4.3
"In a "prime location" halfway between Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square, this "elegant" Downtown Kimpton boutique is "all about artistry"."
