The Spotlight on The Alexis Royal Sonesta Hotel Seattle

Historic Charm Meets Music-Lover Convenience in Downtown Seattle

Modern elegance with a touch of literary flair, The Alexis Royal Sonesta Hotel Seattle blends boutique luxury with unbeatable city-center convenience. Just a five-minute stroll from the vibrant waterfront and the Seattle Ferry Terminal, this character-filled hotel is walking distance to major attractions like Pike Place Market, Lumen Field, and the Seattle Art Museum. With stylish rooms, a beloved whiskey bar, and thoughtful amenities, it’s a sophisticated base for any music-filled night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re perfectly positioned for a night of live music—just minutes from top venues like Lumen Field and Paramount Theatre. After the encore, walk back to your room in under 15 minutes. The 24-hour front desk makes late-night check-ins smooth, and the hotel’s boutique vibe ensures a peaceful recovery space, even in the city’s rhythm-filled core. The in-room Wi-Fi and honor bar add to the comfort, whether you’re decompressing post-show or getting ready for the next one.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want to stay close to the action and share a stylish space
  • Solo travelers checking off a must-see artist
  • Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery in a more refined setting
  • Budget-conscious music fans who want location without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Bookstore Bar & Cafe is a music-lover’s dream: wall-to-wall whiskey, monthly scotch tastings, and cozy book-lined interiors. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the bar stays open late for a nightcap. Morning coffee and tea in the literary-themed lobby is a welcome touch after a night out. You're also steps away from downtown Seattle’s diverse food scene, with late-night bites within easy walking distance.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you're just blocks from Seattle’s buzzing nightlife—from intimate jazz clubs to legendary rock halls. After the show, head back for a drink at the Bookstore Bar or explore nearby lounges and craft cocktail spots. It’s the perfect mix of energy and elegance.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s excellent location, welcoming staff, and unique character. The boutique feel and walkability to top attractions make it a repeat pick for travelers. The whiskey selection at the bar is often noted as a standout, and many mention the clean, comfortable rooms with just the right amount of Seattle charm.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel’s historic building means rooms can vary in layout and size. There’s no on-site parking, so plan ahead if you’re driving (valet and garages are nearby). No live music inside the hotel, but the city’s scene is right outside your door.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking boutique style, walkable venues, and a peaceful place to wind down—The Alexis Royal Sonesta Hotel Seattle hits all the right notes.

We decided to make The Alexis our "go to hotel" while visiting Seattle. The staff was beyond helpful & so pleasant. The location was perfect & the hotel is quiet & small. Even our little dog was well treated. She loved the doggie biscuits at the door!

Liked: Staff was the best
Disliked: Pillows could have been better

Spacious, design lead hotel in...

Liked: Rooms were way bigger than expected, cool modern design, nice large waterfall shower, very quiet despite a peak period for a baseball game in the city, lovely helpful staff on front desk
Disliked: The WiFi was a bit intermittent and the iron was poor, but that’s clutching at straws for negative points

Very disappointed

Liked: They upgraded our room to a basic suite because the room they gave us had virtually no lighting.
Disliked: The entire hotel needs a complete upgrade because it is not 5* as stated. possibly 3* All staff require training.

Great experience - will be...

Liked: The front desk workers were fantastic - Dylan in particular really made my stay memorable. They provided us a wonderful birthday gift and were very accommodating with letting us check in early and storing our bags until our room was ready. I would definitely be back. Also the location is fantastic it's a couple blocks away from Pike Place which was perfect.
Disliked: The $25 hotel credit is a bit odd - seems like it should just be included in the price. It's for access to the gym and then you also get a daily $12 credit for the restaurant/bar.

Family trip to Seattle

Liked: Location was excellent. The area was felt safe and clean enough for me to feel comfortable walking around with my wife and kids. There were a lot of coffee shops nearby and we loved each of them. The hotel was beautiful inside. Check-in was quick and painless and the staff was helpful the few times we needed anything. We were in town for the Post Malone/Jelly Roll concert and T-Mobile arena is a 20 minute walk straight down the Avenue. No complaints, would stay there again.
Disliked: No complaints really, the price was a little high, but I think that could be expected considering the location and the hotel itself.
