X mas decorations and high tea is amazing.

Worst

Four of us dined here on 7/10 and were incredibly disappointed with the service and food. As long time Seattleites who have dined at the Hunt Club many times over the years, it's...

Incredibly Romantic 1/7/2008

I first went to the Hunt Club in college 15 years ago. It was one of my first dates with my husband. We have returned many times for special occasions in our lives as it is the most romantic spot in Seattle. We consider it a special place just for the two of us, so we always go alone. It is our little secret. There isn't a better place to enjoy an after dinner drink than sitting on the plush seats in the bar area. The food is creative and beautifully presented. I always feel happy and pampered when I leave. more

Excellent Ambiance, Customer Servicer 1/7/2008

I think that the Sorrento is a jewel in Seattle - one of the most iconic locations in the city. The staff in the Hunt Club is friendly, unpretentionious, but attentive without being overly so. I have never had a bad experience there. \r The food is very good, and I love the chips they serve in the bar - made in-house, and a nice change from your standard ""mixed nuts.""\r I'd recommend the hotel time and again. more

Lunch is not recommended here, ever. 12/20/2007

About 6 years ago I had the most disastrous lunch I have ever experienced here. The events that unfolded were comical, involving the kitchen apparently being nonfunctional but instead of that fact being disclosed by management, myself and two guests were poured continuous glasses of wine for an hour and a half until we were finally served our 2 salads and a burger (which was raw and unedible). They tried to bill us for entire meal (including the ""complimentary"" wine) and one of my guests, my assistant at the time, was drunk enough that we drove her home so she could pass out in private. This year I gave the Hunt Club another chance, figuring that the previous lunch must have been a convergence of bad circumstances. I met my sister there for lunch in the festive holiday ambiance, which is undeniably elegant. The good news is that this lunch was better than the last lunch! The bad news is as follows. The prices were high so we hoped the food was worthwhile.We were very dissapointed. I had two dry, flavorless crab cakes thrown artlessly onto soggy greens ($23). My sister had approximately three pieces of beef thrown onto the same soggy greens, for $14. It seemed that maybe someone had made a run to Trader Joe's up the street a couple of days prior (the greens were a little aged as well as soggy) and also thawed out some crab cakes which had subsequently dried up. We had to request that bread or rolls be served and I'm thankful that they didn't bill us an extra charge. The waiter was inattentive but in fairness seemed to be assigned too many tables. He did charge us incorrectly and it took quite awhile for him to change our bill because it seemed that he had to run everything through management. I don't know if the lunches here are always exceptionally bad or if I am just an unlucky person. In this town of fabulous food, it is a shame that an historical location such as the Sorrento should allow this to happen. Pros: Ambiance is great. Cons: Valet parking is $12 and there's little parking to be found nearby. Inattentive service. Overpriced. more

Mary Poppins Would LOVE The Sorrento 3/22/2007

I find myself in a different bed every other night due to the amount of traveling I do for work. I just recently stayed at The Sorrento Hotel for the first time, not really by choice, but because my regular hotel was sold-out. Its funny how things work out, I normally would not have considered staying at The Sorrento Hotel, but now that I have stayed there it is now my home away from home when I?m in Seattle on business. The staff helped me to feel right at home, the complimentary town car would take me any where I needed to go....It was perfect!!!!!! more

Great Boutique Hotel 3/13/2007

Wonderful boutique hotel. Upscale accomodations, the beds are pillotop with lots of pillows. French press for your morning coffee and desk includes a printer in your room. Our meeting was held in a grand room with great light from outside. The hotel staff is comendable and very customer oriented. Gym is adequate with machines. The only negative is the distance from the waterfront (not walkable). Pros: Luxury Cons: Elevator (old) more

Can't say enough . . . 1/15/2007

Very attentive staff. Helpful without being intrusive. Suites are very well appointed and comfortable. For breakfast be sure to go to The Hunt Club and try the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict or Belgian Style Malted Waffle. Both are prepared to perfection. Also, be sure to visit the romantic Fireside Room with their wonderful pianist Cara Hill. Can't say enough about our stay at The Sorrento. Definitely will return. Pros: Convenient towncar service and romantic Fireside Room with pianist Cara Hill Cons: wait for elevator more

quiet business dinner where you can actually talk or a romantic dinner. 9/29/2006

Nothing bad on the menu and can even customize as you go. Actually a quiet dinner place, which is often hard to find. Large selection of wines. Pricey but good for client dinner. more

  • Hotel Sorrento is Located on Seattle's First Hill, this Italian Renaissance-inspired hotel is 7 blocks from the Washington State Convention Center in downtown Seattle and 12 blocks from Pike Place Market. From the circular entryway with European fountain to afternoon tea and evening chess in the mahogany-lined Fireside Room, the Sorrento reflects a club-like atmosphere.

Editorial
  • The Scene
    Beautiful mahogany pillars draped with silk curtains falling into deep folds give this hotel-based institution a rich, quiet elegance not found in most of Seattle's dining...
