The Spotlight on The Boylston Hotel Capitol Hill Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy

Stylish Seattle Stay Just Steps from the Music Scene

Sonder The Boylston is a modern, minimalist hotel located in the heart of Seattle’s vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood. With sleek, apartment-style rooms and thoughtful amenities like in-room coffee machines and flat-screen TVs, this 3-star stay offers a cool, urban vibe just minutes from iconic venues and nightlife.
Free WiFi and air conditioning come standard, while the central location places you within easy reach of downtown attractions like the Washington State Convention Center, Columbia Center, and more.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Sonder The Boylston delivers. You're less than two miles from CenturyLink Field and the Space Needle, with many of Seattle’s best venues just a quick walk or rideshare away. The quiet, residential feel of the hotel makes it a peaceful place to crash after the show, and with a 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s enough flexibility to suit most concert schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish, central base
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list tour
  • Couples making a weekend of it
  • Fans needing a quiet spot to recharge post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want design-forward comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re surrounded by Capitol Hill’s incredible food scene. From late-night ramen and gastropubs to cozy brunch cafés, there are endless walkable options. The in-room coffee makers are a bonus for groggy mornings, and local breakfast spots open late enough for sleep-in days.

Nightlife Options

Right outside your door, Capitol Hill’s nightlife awaits with live music venues, craft cocktail lounges, and indie bars just steps away. Whether you're heading to a show or keeping the party going afterward, you’ll find plenty of local flavor within walking distance.

What People Say

Guests rave about the clean, modern rooms and the unbeatable location. Many appreciate the apartment-style setup and self-check-in process. The quiet atmosphere is frequently mentioned as a huge plus after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no front desk or daily housekeeping, which might not suit travelers looking for full-service amenities. Some guests mention that parking can be tricky and that the self-check-in process may require a bit of tech-savviness.

The Bottom Line

If you want a stylish, quiet place to recharge after a concert, right in the heart of Seattle’s music and nightlife scene, Sonder The Boylston is a smart choice.

Avoid this place

Liked: Modern functional room, although quirky - it was like a bedsit and there was no wash basin in the toilet cubicle.
Disliked: Lousy customer service:I requested a quiet room well in advance of my stay (several months in fact). When I arrived at the hotel I found I was given a room at street level next to the front door - possibly the noisiest room in the hotel. The banging shut of this automatic door made it impossible to stay asleep after 6am. I find it difficult to believe that Sonder couldn't have made more effort to allocate me a quieter room.When I tried to contact the hotel staff to change the room, I got either 'We can't find your reservation' or 'Oops something went wrong' (using either the Sonder app or the Sonder web page to send a message because this hotel did not have a physical reception. Both methods failed consistently - so frustrating). When I tried to call the hotel staff, no human answered the phone (I waited for 5 minutes, but that was enough when paying roaming charges). A couple of days later when I did eventually reach a human, I was told that the reservation system at that time was having problems. The hotel was unable to change my room for a quieter one. I will never stay with Sonder again.

Superb

Liked: Excellent location in Capitol Hill. Easy check in. Room was very comfortable with great amenities. They even have bike storage! My only qualm was being on the 6th floor without an elevator, but hey, it was good for my glutes!
Disliked: N/A

Excellent location, comfy bed, modern...

Liked: The location can’t be beat and the building itself is really cool. I also loved not having a room key and using a code to enter the building and my room.
Disliked: The room is a bit tiny; if there were more than one person in a room, I think you’d be stepping on each other the entire time.

Very good

Liked: Check in was straight forward with the app. Staff were available to help with bags as they have a dumb waiter style elevator (no people elevators). Room was clean and quiet with adequate facilities and help yourself cabinets in the hall (tea, coffee, toilet paper, water etc). WiFi was good and stable.
Disliked: The area surrounding the hotel felt a little unsafe with heavy and open drug usage however, this seems a general problem in Seattle in general. Rooms were very small and had little natural light but were totally adequate as a base for a few days.
