Hotel Sorrento

The Sorrento Hotel brings lavish Italian Renaissance charm to Seattle's First Hill. Explaining its rich history, the venue's websites says: "When we opened our doors in 1909, our first guests were the anxious prospectors, cagey entrepreneurs and curious tourists who attended the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, which was pretty much the first time anyone outside the Northwest had ever heard of Seattle. Intrepid men and women from near and far came to rest their heads in our guest rooms, celebrate their adventures in our sumptuous Fireside Room, and dance and dine at the Top o' the Town, the city's highest restaurant way up on the seventh floor. The Sorrento became Seattle's original hub of hospitality, creativity and urban life." The bustling venue continues to thrive today, bringing together visitors and locals who lodge in the hotel's spacious suites and enjoy delicious fare in the Dunbar Room, as well as fireside tea, cocktails and music in the elegant-meets-cozy lounge.
