Bacon Mansion

$-$$, Capitol Hill

User Rating: ***** 4.8

Fodor's Review:

On a tree-lined street near Volunteer Park, this 1909 Tudor is surrounded by gardens. The first-floor living room is filled with comfortable furniture and lots of natural light; it also has a grand piano. Each unique guest room is appointed with collectibles old and new. The Capitol Suite has a pine four-poster, a carved oak fireplace, and a view of the Space Needle; from the floral-theme Iris Room you can see Mt. Rainier. Several rooms have hideaway beds in addition to the queen-size beds that are the norm. The Iris Room and the Cabin Room share a nicely appointed bathroom. The restored carriage house provides larger quarters; upstairs, the former chauffeur's quarters now serve as a cozy loft.

Bacon Mansion not a pig

Posted by Sharon from Hilton Head, SC on 5/27/06

My husband and I stayed at the Bacon Mansion for 5 nights. We had the Capitol Suite which was a huge room with bed, fireplace, sitting area and separate sun room. It also had a walk-in closet - something many B&Bs lack - usually they have an armoire that holds very little clothing. The Bacon Mansion is located in the Capitol Hill area with many ethnic restaurants which are in walking distance of the Mansion. One block from the Mansion, you can catch a bus into the dowtown area of Seattle, which is only a 15 minute ride. A continental breakfast is provided. The only slight negatives are the difficulty sometimes in parking a car and the lack of cable TV. But the price for our suite was very reasonable considering the space and ammenities. We would highly recomment the Bacon Mansion.
