Concierge "This quirky 11-story hotel in the heart of Downtown is so animal-friendly that if you don't come with a pet, you can "adopt" a goldfish for the length of your visit."
Fodor's "Thanks to a massive $5.2-million renovation completed in 2012, the once slightly dated 189-room hotel has sprung back to life with a modern-meets-global look." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Like a moneyed earth mother who trolls Whole Foods for overpriced organics, this 189-room hotel strikes an odd balance between simple elegance and conspicuous glitziness." Full review
DK Eyewitness "What was once a phone company’s switching center is now a sophisticated hotel. All rooms come with a CD stereo."
Rough Guide "Luxurious boutique hotel with designer furnishings, plus a striking lobby, gym and elegant suites with CD players and flat-screen TVs – some with jacuzzis, too."
Star Service "Within walking distance of the waterfront, convention center, Pike Place Market and Seattle Art Museum, this hallmark of Northwest attitude and style is an icon in the city." Full review

Some of the standard rooms are on the small side, so it's best to request one of the larger deluxe rooms.
Gayot "This hotel is anything but drab. Yellow, red and blue jewel-toned accents dominate in the guest rooms, meeting rooms and lobby."
BlackBook "Ceiling prints of fish and coral in the lobby, bright strawberry and cream striped wallpaper in the rooms, leopard print robes for taking intentionally bad Facebook photos."

"Guest are "blown away by the red carpet treatment" at this "beautiful" Downtown boutique with "character to spare"."

"The 189-room Hotel Monaco is a sophisticated upscale property located right in the heart of downtown Seattle." Full review

There is also a small but well-equipped fitness center, and the hotel offers flexible meeting space, but it’s the thoughtful extras that elevate the stay, including free wine hours, free morning coffee, loaner bikes, and even a goldfish on request.

Frommer's "The W hotel chain has won plenty of national attention and devoted fans for its oh-so-hip accommodations, and here in the land of espresso and high-tech, the W is a natural." Full review

Although the -09 and -02 "Cool Corner" rooms cost a bit more, they are worth requesting.
Concierge "Self-consciously hip—but never exuding a too-cool-for-you vibe—the W is a haven for the design-conscious."
Fodor's "The W Seattle is like an aging hipster... that said, it's still fun if you can get a good deal." Full review
Lonely Planet "The chain that brought style back to the hotel business is in Seattle in full glory." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Situated downtown within walking distance of Pike Place Market, this 26-story boutique hotel evokes a 21st-century European chic." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This sleek property attracts the hip, trendy, and well-heeled. It offers modern amenities, impeccable service, and signature ultra-comfortable beds."
Rough Guide "Stylish modern tower with a staff of beautiful people and smart rooms in high style."
Star Service "One of the most efficiently run design-hotels in the city, and its prowess as a conference magnate is unimpeachable given its unusually large size for a W." Full review
Gayot "This cosmopolitan hotel offers the seemingly requisite haute attitude to techies, hipsters and people who like to consider themselves part of the in-crowd."
BlackBook "W Hotels are fashion-forward, pet-friendly, and always the center of chic travelers' agendas. While all have recognizable features, all are distinct as well, catering to their specific locales."
