"Excellent Hotel"

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at The State Hotel in Seattle! The location couldn’t be better—just steps away from Pike Place Market, making it incredibly convenient to explore one of the city’s most iconic spots. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with a modern yet welcoming feel. My room had a stunning view that made every morning and evening special. The staff and Columbia Hospitality went above and beyond. One of the highlights was definitely the restaurant—delicious food, great atmosphere, and excellent service. Overall, everything exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, style, and an unbeatable location, The State Hotel is a perfect choice. I would absolutely stay here again!

The little details made a difference! Everything was amazing from the robes, to the bluetooth speaker in the room, the hot water pot for coffee, the cute little fridge. The beds were clean and comfortable and the blackout curtains were great. Every staff member that we interacted with, at the front desk, bar and restaurant was personable and looked like they enjoyed their job and took care of us better than we expected. We will return to The State Hotel next time we are in Seattle.

"Great Staff & Clean, Well-Designed Rooms"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed March 22, 2026 NEW
This hotel exceeds others in its class in the following ways: 1. Welcoming, gracious, and proactive staff. 2. Wonderful views of the Puget Sound and the Olympics from the uppermost floors. 3. Clean rooms with a modern aesthetic. 4. Enough space (as a solo traveler in a single queen room) that I didn’t worry once about stubbing my toe or tripping into furniture. 5. Great lobby hangout. 7. The exact right amount of standard amenities, and more on offer if you need/want (I’m not a fan of clutter, esp in hotel rooms). 6. It also houses one of my favorite restaurants in the entire city, Ben Paris. 7. And finally, the hallway wallpaper choices alone are worth a look-see ;) Many thanks to The State for a great short stay on short notice!
