I spent some time at the W recovering from some medical issues. I had to purchase (with a $4 service fee and 23% gratuity fee), every cup of coffee, every drink of water, and all meals including a $17 bowl of oatmeal. The hotel, itself, is nice, but not remarkable. The location is good. The room did not have a... More

We spent only one night at the W this trip, but it was enjoyable. We had our Dachshund with us; the hotel makes pets very welcome, supplying a pet bed, food bowl, and "Woof" welcome mat. They will also provide Room Service for the dog, which we did not use, but it's a cute idea. Michael the Belllman went out... More

Attended a conference in hotel so decided to stay here. Rooms are nice with the window seat, a nice touch. Service is fabulous! My daughter was ill and the staff were amazing accommodating her needs. Food is ok but could use a broader selection. Lounge is ok but Monaco has a better one in Sazerac just across the Street. A... More

I like this hotel. I like the location, I like the food, I like the lobby remodel. However, it is on the spendy side and for the money you pay, things should be perfect. They are not quite there. The lobby is nice and a good place to actually hang out. You might want to turn the music down a... More

It's been a while since we've stayed at the W in Seattle and it hasn't changed. Still the same dark, trendy looks, subdued lighting, and nice high-tech touches. Loved the lobby bar area, the fireplaces, and the bedrooms - very smart, clean with everything that we needed. The "not good" - paying for Wi-Fi in a hotel of this standard... More

The W hotels have a good standard and the W Seattle is no different. The hotel is fairly new and the facilities look great and very modern. My girlfriend then, wife now, loved the relaxing bathtub and salts. The bed and sheets are excellent and, if not for so many things to do in town, we would have spent more... More

One clarification though, we do not actually have music playing in the guest room corridors, we ensure that those spaces are quiet for our guests. The Living... More

The W entitles a level of sophistication that does not come with great service. Why am I not surprised? The hole edgy hipster life style screams "leave me alone". If you want to get pampered stay at the four seasons or some fo the more traditional high class hotels. The hotel itself is pretty awesome and very well designed. The... More
