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

For the price I wanted...

Liked: The location was great. Only a few blocks from Pike’s Market and the piers. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Guest services were friendly.
Disliked: The resort fee was ridiculous. This hotel wasn’t a resort and there weren’t many resort services. Although there was a “mini bar”/refrigerator in the room the beverages and snacks were outrageously priced. There was a 3 year old craft brew (Christmas seasonal) left as our beer selection. Just reduce or remove the resort fee. The bar/cafe left us wanting more. They closed at 10pm and on Friday when they stayed open until 11pm, they wouldn’t serve cocktails after 9:30. During breakfast, you could only have hard boiled or scrambled eggs. The coffee was lukewarm; terrible for a city renowned for its coffee scene. There’s a perfume store as you enter the hotel. If you’re sensitive to odors, this is a big let down. And, it wafts into the cafe/bar across the corridor. The valet damaged the car of our traveling partners. It was discovered when they were checking out. Not sure how it will end, they’re investigating.
