My family and I (husband two kids, 7 and 5 years old) made our first trip to Seattle and choose this hotel based on the great reviews. It did not disappoint. The hotel staff was so friendly we felt like we were coming home to family after long days out sightseeing. Our first night we stayed in a queen queen room which was nice, but a bit too small for a family of four. We were able to move into a queen queen deluxe for the next two nights which had a lounge area with sofa and coffee table which made it perfect for the kids to have somewhere to hang out and much to our surprise, the hotel left us a great bottle of wine and chocolates to enjoy in our new room.
The location was great and we walked or took public transport everywhere and spent a bit of every day at Pike Market enjoying the food and scenery.
The end of our trip was spent uptown at the Grand Hyatt which although it was a much newer and fancier hotel, was not nearly as friendly and authentic to the area. We will definitely stay at the Vintage Park again when we visit Seattle.

We have stayed at this hotel twice in the past year. We came to enjoy the city and this was the perfect location for us. We left our car with the valet and set out on foot or cab. Everthing we needed was close by or a short cab ride. We were warmly welcomed and upgraded when we arrived. On one occasion, it was our 40th Anniversary and were were greeted by a bottle of wine in our room. The room was well appointed & clean. The afternoon wine receptions are a special treat. An added bonus was their restaurant, Tulios. The food was fabulous and the service equally so. Our special requests and inquires were happily fufilled. We highly recommend this hotel.

The VP is probably the best Kimpton if you are in Seattle to do business in the financial district or at the courthouse (which is right next door). Excellent access to the freeway, and superb off street valet parking. For those complaining about the price of said parking, welcome to the World. The rooms are smaller than average for Seattle and the bathrooms in particular are tiny. Decor is a tad dated but I understand a renovation is in the works. Superb Kimpton service and Tulio is one of the best restaurants in Seattle. We had a couple of issues which were addressed by the GM herself. A well managed proper with very professional staff.

Love Kimpton - the service is great, and they look after the little things. For us, that meant, since we're Kimpton In Touch members (their loyalty program -apply immediately!), we got upgraded rooms, late check-out, Mini-bar credit, welcome back cookies, and our newspaper of choice (New York Times!) delivered to our room. It is such a friendly place; and the nightly wine tasting (at no cost) sponsored by Washington state wineries is a great way to meet others. Rooms are classic and classy, with everything you need, and there's a great restaurant, Tulio's, right next door, with authentic and delicious Italian food.
And for those who care about environmental issues, they offer half-price valet parking for hybrid vehicles, and if you pass on maid service, there's a coupon of $5 to Tulio's or for room service for every day you skip.
