The Scene
Lavish accommodations help travelers and nine-to-fivers unwind in this dark, respectful den. From a central polished wood pillar, original panels of Honduran mahogany radiate from the ceiling and line the octagon-shaped chamber. Wingback chairs and soft divans, cushioned in muted vermilions, chocolates and greens, intersperse with dark wood coffee tables, marble-topped tables and neat potted palms. Selections from a short menu include flatbread pizzas, crostini with various toppings, country pate and a wide range of desserts.

I read an article in seattle magazine featuring up and coming places in seattle. The fireside Room in the Hilton was listed. First off this place has been here for quite some time and cudos to them for trying to change the image by adding a happy hour to get a younger crowd in. Secondly if you want to have people come in for a happy hour perhaps it would be best if you had specific menus for the occasion. As we were seated there were no indication as to wether or not there even was one so we asked. The Hostess confirmed and handed us two bar menus. The menu didn't even have the happy hour prices listed so we initially thought this was going to be the most expensive happy hour we've seen. But when we got the check everything was basically half off. But it would have been nice to know the prices before hand. Plus the portion were really off some were far too small while others were absolutely huge. It made me feel like things were unpredictable and not in a good way. And like the Header states... this place is more for my parents. There were only about five other people around and they were all MUCH older and talking about the latest trend at the knitting club. All in all the furishings are nice and I would maybe stop by again when there's snow on the ground for a nice winter cocktail. But maybe if you want to change your image... start with the basics and get new menus.

We recently had our wedding and reception at the Sorrento Hotel. We felt it would be the perfect venue for a winter wedding - and it was. The furnishings and decor are lovely, and the views and terrace added a classy touch. However, the management of our wedding was terrible. From the beginning, they failed to communicate with us, not returning e-mails or phone calls. As our date approached, we had to literally barge our way in to see the space so we could get measurements for our florist because the management was unresponsive to our requests. We were not given a tasting until mere weeks before the wedding, and the food was not exceptional. We also faced what appeared to be either dishonesty or utter incompetence. There was a surprise fee for the toast that we had to fight about, we were double-billed for rooms guests pre-paid for through the internet, and guests were told they had to pay for parking even though we had pre-arranged for their valet parking. The management also told us our wedding decorations would be kept in a particular place and when it was time to decorate, they weren't where the hotel said they'd be! Our family spent 30 frantic minutes trying to find someone from the hotel to help locate the decorations; they were genuinely worried the wedding would start late because of it. Additionally, a family member had to go back into the kitchen to insure they saved our anniversary cake layer because the servers appeared uncertain when asked what they planned to do with it. Surprise, surprise; the next morning it was not in the refrigerator where he had watched them place it! It appeared that the hotel never would have remembered it nor found it again. They only looked for it after we put up yet another fight - and it took them at least 15 minutes to find it! The management also did not help us in any way with decorating or even directing the wedding proc

I love the Sorrento Hotel. It is fun to be down in Seattle and stay at this old hotel. It is beautifully remodeled and has a great atmosphere. Parking is a bit pricey.
