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.

Great value for the money...

Liked: Honestly, as an LGBTQ+ community member, the location was the greatest part about this hotel. We loved being in walking distance to so many LGBTQ friendly businesses/bars/restaurants. Convenient walks to the Train, buses, and downtown. Check-in was easy as we did the pre-check-in prior to arrival. We got our access codes early and had no issues accessing the hotel or our room after we arrived after midnight using the codes for the front door and our room. I did chat about a question and received a timely and professional response. We loved the Italian shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower (no bad ingredients like American products). We didn't use them, but we liked that they had a few luggage storage lockers. I also like that they had water stations and toiletry refill stations on every floor. The common room on the first level was also very nice.
Disliked: The listing here on Booking.com says "Shower or tub", I even requested a room with a tub and also inquired about a late check-in. I just got a response confirming my request, but turns out they were only responding to my inquiry about late check-in but not the tub/shower. They only have showers, so I was hoping to request that the hotel or Booking.com update that detail on this listing- as of 5/7/25 it still says "Shower or tub". There was no staff that I recall seeing, so I really don't know if the staff is good or not. Our TV was not connected to the internet upon arrival. It just would not connect. I was able to chat and get IT help. If you're looking for a spacious room, this is not the hotel for you. You'd have to go down to the common lounge to sit not on your bed. The toilet/shower situation would be strange if not travelling with a spouse. You can definitely hear everything going on in the toilet room- the fan for the toilet is the fan above the shower, so there was a rectangular opening near the top of the toilet room for air from the toilet room to escape to the fan above the shower.

Overall it was what we...

Liked: Close to Train station was good, and between where we wanted to go and where we came from.
Disliked: Toilet was blocked. Had to use other toilet when we paid for a room with a bathroom.

Reasonable stay. Good rooms, varying...

Liked: Everything about the stay itself was fine. Staff were friendly when around.
Disliked: Didn't know about the existence of a service elevator until second time I stayed. Not exactly easy hauling baggage/suitcases up stairs if you are not on the ground floor.
