Hotel Sorrento

At the turn of the 20th century, in the farthest reaches of the country, anxious prospectors, intrepid entrepreneurs, and curious tourists arrived in Seattle for the first Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in search of the place to lay their heads: the newly christened Hotel Sorrento. Beneath thick wooden beams, leather-stitched arm chairs, and a roaring fire, men and women slept on pillow-top beds, toasted to their adventures in the reading nooks of the Fireside Room, and danced at the Top o’ the Town, the city’s highest restaurant on the hotel's seventh floor. The year was 1909. A hundred-some years later, Hotel Sorrento remains the longest-standing boutique hotel in Seattle, in the city's oldest neighborhood, First Hill, as the burgeoning metropolis and tech world continue to grow all around. Each of the 76 rooms and suites has its own charm and unique appeal, but mostly its the display of old-school opulence of the Italian Renaissance (the hotel was designed after the Vittoria in Sorrento) pulsing through the structure with Venetian marble, Honduran mahogany wood, and century-old antiques, that continue to provoke "oohs" and "ahhs" from its guests. It's an age-old saying, but a walk through the lobby makes you think, "If only these walls could talk."
