Sorrento Hotel Review

If you're the type who owns a smoking jacket, names aged Scotch as your poison, or wants to pretend you're on the set of a period piece, look no further than this Italianate hotel built in 1909. Though the immediate area is not terribly attractive, it's convenient to both Downtown and Capitol Hill. The rich wood-paneled lobby and Fireside Room—a perfect spot for a martini on a rainy night—are visions of old-world elegance. Guest rooms are as light as the common areas are dark, with only a few tasseled pillows and antique furnishings to tie them to the decor downstairs; the largest are the corner suites. The Hunt Club serves excellent Pacific Northwest dishes. This property is a short hike uphill from the center of Downtown but there is a courtesy shuttle.
