“Excellent”

Perfect Location

“Overall staff room and bar were very good with lots of nice touches like towel made into a polar bear shape”

Architecture of the hotel and Polar bar and overall hotel and rooms. Great historical decor

“Stay here!”

Everything was great. Hotel lobby and room were clean. The staff were amazing. Every interaction we had with the front desk, valet and kitchen staff was pleasant. They were friendly, attentive and always asked if we needed anything. The free breakfast was great. We were impressed and will be staying here again. Can't wait to spend more time at the lobby bar next time!

Love this hotel!

Nearby everything. Comfortable beds. Friendly staff

Atmosphere of the hotel and being a historic landmark. Helpful and friendly staff. Good breakfast.

“Great hotel downtown Seattle”

Breakfast was great. Staff was extraordinarily attentive, nice, and helpful. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and very clean. We had a very nice view. The hotel‘s location downtown was perfect for us.

“Great stay - thanks”

The front desk staff were very helpful and professional.

“To settle in after long fight to join cruise”

Old architecture

“Nice hotel and breakfast, poor location, noise and staffing issues”

Good quality rooms, great breakfast

“Enjoy yesterday’s charms with today’s modern amenities”

Love the old world charm whilst still enjoying modern day amenities

“Historic place, but I wouldn’t stay there again.”

We stayed for 3 nights. The location is not bad, but it’s not exactly the best part of the city. The building has its own history, and the bar/restaurant is super nice, but I think the carpets are from the 1950s… come on, at least put some new ones, they’re filthy and they give an awful vibe to the hotel. Same with the rooms, they could use a renovation. Breakfast is ok, not great but not bad. Next time I’ll go for a Sheraton or something along those lines. At least you know what you’ll get. The staff was very friendly.

“An elegant hotel in the heart of Seattle”

If you wnat a break from the normal boring chain hotels stay here. It is a touch of class and elegance in Seattle.

“Wonderful”

Great breakfast. Beautiful rooms and really really comfortable bed

“Striving to be antique”

A few staff, esp. in the rather huge bar which sort of dominates the whole layout of the hotel, were extremely kind and helpful. Above all the French-speaker (=canadienne). Merci.

“great location”

excellent breakfast great location

“Magical”

Absolutely magical hotel, like entering another era. Great service, very clean, location is a short walk to many things and right on the bus lines.

“Expesiive but large rooms and great staff”

Clean large rooms and a great atmosphere. Very helpful staff.

“Ideal central location in an atypically characterful period building, wonderfully restored and comfortable.”

Unique. Characterful. Family owned. Great location. Not a chain!

we left the Arctic Club with mixed impressions. On the positive side we experienced very friendly staff, had a nicely decorated and well-equipped room and were in a good location within walking distance of most major sites. The fact that the surrounding streets are full of homeless people is not to blame on the hotel. We also liked the hotel bar which serves some nice food too. It is the only place in the hotel where you can get some food as the hotel's Juno restaurant is not operating any more.  Breakfast is now served in what used to be the restaurant but the location feels exactly like what it is: an abandoned restaurant.
