Fodor's Expert Review The Inn at El Gaucho
2505 1st Ave., Seattle, Washington, 98121, USA Fodor's Choice
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Hollywood Rat Pack enthusiasts will want to move right in to these swank, retro-style suites done in dark wood with buttery leather furniture, comfortable beds, and bathrooms featuring antique tile and fixtures. Downstairs at Belltown's beloved El Gaucho steak house, sip a perfect classic martini after being seated by a tuxedoed maître d', or catch a flick at the Big Picture—a fabulous movie theater with a full bar. Rooms face Puget Sound, the city, or the hotel atrium; atrium rooms are quieter than those that face the street. Additional perks include room service from El Gaucho and in-room massages and spa services from the Hyatt's spa team. The hotel offers free shuttle service to AQUA by El Gaucho, a waterfront seafood restaurant with stunning views.
