The Alexis Royal Sonesta Hotel Seattle - A historic 1901 hotel with award-winning fitness center, whiskey library, and waterfront location

Located in Seattle's historic West Edge neighborhood, The Alexis Royal Sonesta Hotel occupies a restored 1901 building featuring locally curated art and Seattle music-inspired design elements. This downtown Seattle hotel houses The Bookstore Bar & Café, known for its extensive whiskey collection and monthly scotch tastings. The award-winning fitness facility spans the 3rd and 4th floors, equipped with a rock-climbing wall, monkey bars, and Peloton bike. Guest rooms showcase tufted leather furnishings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and views of 1st Avenue. The Chroma Salon provides Aveda treatments, while specialty shops offer in-house retail options. The Sonesta Hotel sits within walking distance of CenturyLink Field, Safeco Field, and Pike Place Market. A half-mile stroll northeast leads to the Bell Street Terminal at Pier 66.

Pros

Monthly scotch tastings and rare whiskey selections at the Bookstore Bar

24/7 access to award-winning fitness facility with unique features like rock climbing wall

On-site Chroma Salon offering full Aveda product treatments

In-house specialty shops for convenient downtown shopping

Classic architectural elements including interior brick walls and Surrealist art displays

Cons

Valet parking fee of $62 per night plus taxes

Full housekeeping service only provided for stays longer than six nights

“This hotel strikes me as a boutique property that succeeds with historical architecture and updated interiors. The complimentary wine hour is a genuine perk. I noticed the fitness facility goes beyond expectations with a rock-climbing wall, and the location puts guests in the heart of Seattle.”
