The Arctic Club Seattle - a DoubleTree by Hilton - Seattle

Great place to stay if attending event at Centurylink Field. Rooms are clean. Beds are very comfortable. Staff are very friendly. A bit pricy but worth it for the comfort and location. Parking is valet only, the garage is couple blocks away and expensive. Suggest parking next door at public parking for the day the move vehicle to park on street at night. […] Street parking is free after 8 pm and free on Sun. We only stayed one night so this worked well for us. Read more

After talking to the front desk we were told it was ok to park in the adjacent garage but were warned it was "unsecured". This was not true, the garage was locked up for the weekend which made us stranded in Seattle an additional day. We had 3 electrical items, including the air conditioning break down in one day and when the room was cleaned the next […] day they did not replenish coffee and creamer. Throughout the night there were police sirens in the echo of downtown skyscrapers. To his credit and after much negotiation the front desk manager contacted the garage manager and we were able to get our car out Sunday morning, however there was another couple that stayed at the hotel in the same situation, we don't know if they ever got their car out. The Hotel is a really cool notalgic atmosphere, go check it out, but don't stay there Read more

The hotel was close to restaurants, we walked everywhere. The service was less than, our room was not ready at 4pm (check in time), although we had called earlier requesting an earlier check in time, they declined....saying the room had to be cleaned. They had 2.5 hrs to clean it before 4, and it still wasn't done when we got there at 4....frustrating […] when we had to get ready for dinner reservations, and the bell service delivered our bags (from our car, not the airport) late as well. No one offered to help find the restrooms, just overall sucky service. Dissapointed, as three girlfriends away from the kiddos & hubbies for the weekend...Gorgeous hotel though. Read more

They really went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. It was the location of my friends wedding, and the building has an absolutely stunning interior. My room was very comfortable, definitely worth it to upgrade to the jetted bathtub. My only complaint is that there were too many incidental charges. A USA today shows up at your door in […] the morning unless you call the desk and tell them to not deliver it. They charge you .75 if you don't call the front desk. Seriously? How about I call you if I really want to pay for this outdated from of media. Room service was also unbelievably over priced and very average. Too many fees tacked onto everything. Ended up paying about an extra 100 bucks for parking, ordering dessert, and random incidentals like that worthless newspaper. I would return, but with a better eye on any charges that might come my way. Read more

Stayed overnight and would have liked to stayed longer. Will return again.

Very nice, older hotel with old school class and charm. great location for a night out on the town. rooms are clean and comfortable.

Great experience in a grand old hotel marvelously renovated. Lobby bar was very inviting and comfortable. Restaurant and its bar were nicely located and the staff were very accommodating, although the menu was nothing special. Very well located for most downtown Seattle experiences and activities. Would definitely stay there again.

I stayed at the Actic Club 11/7-10/11, and I loved the whole feel of the place as soon as I walked in. I travel a lot for business, and this was possibly the best hotel experinece I have ever had. The location was great, the staff was extremely helpful and courteous, the bar was just supurb - and Viktor, the bartender, was a real professional. The housekeeping […] staff did a great job and were unobtrusive. The valet parking attendants were professional, and the desk staff was friendly. Am I forgetting anyone? I didn't order any food or visit the restauarnt downstairs, so I don't know how that was. The room itself was very comfortable, and I absolutely loved the coffe station touch. They gave give you a hot water pot, a french press and a bag of Starbucks coffee! I can't wait to go back. Read more

The Artic Club Seattle/Doubletree is a magnificent landmark building, but I was shocked to find the beds made up in sheets and pillowcases that were very untidy and looked as though someone had slept there before. The desk clerk came to my room and assured me the linens were clean, but that the hotel laundry no longer presses and irons them. I wonder. […] This is, afterall, a member of the Hilton chain of hotels and what would the late Conrad Hilton think! Could the Artic Club be the weakest link in their chain? I found the bed linens so awful that I would not book this hotel again. The sheets and pillowcases were absolutely wrinkled and in terrible condition even though the room itself appeared clean. I would be ashamed to have guests in such a room. Read more

This hotel was amazing, I would for sure stay here again. We were only town for a quick weekend trip, but this hotel was smack in the middle of downtown, made everything very easy to walk to. The best part, besides the amazing ambience of the old fashioned hotel was upon check in the give you WARM chocolate chip cookies!!!!

The hotel is a couple blocks to the waterfront. It is also a few steps away from the Link Light Rail exit at Pioneer Square. The Light Rail is an inexpensive and fast way to get from the airport to downtown Seattle. It's an interesting, old hotel, very comfortable. Lounge and billiards table in lobby. The hotel will hold your luggage if you arrive before […] check-in. The attached restaurant (Juno) serves a wonderful breakfast. Read more

Did not appreciate being woken up at 8 a.m. by a lady with a clipboard telling us we had to vacate the room because it was after checkout time. Probably some mixup. Otherwise, the hotel and amenities were great, restaurant very accommodating, staff very friendly, other than bar-tender who curtly sent me down to the water urn at the end of the bar because, […] unlike my companions, I was a non-drinker. Hotel located just a couple blocks north of a very seedy neighborhood. Read more

The worst place we ever stayed at. Small room. Instead of a jacuzzi we got a tub. I hated that place. The worst place we ever stayed at . Everything was really old. It was really warm in the room and there is no air conditioner in the room. There isn't even a pool!!in addition, There was no where safe to park. We paid a fortune and were highly disappointed. […] I highly do not recommend it. Read more

Real nice old time men's club conversion. Had the feeling that history was made there. "If these walls could talk" sort of atmosphere. Staff was real nice and very professional.

I'm a sucker for great service and this hotel did not disappoint! A little hard to locate when you get into town because they signs are neutral color but once you get there, it's a dream! About 15 blocks to the market place and moderate to walk if the weather is nice. Would stay here again and again!

I LOVED this hotel, the building and the public areas are just beautiful, very cozy and welcoming in the the cold and gray Seattle weather. The rooms, beds, bathrooms, and chairs are super comfortable and well-designed, and their renovation of this wonderful historical building are incredibly true to the period, and to the people who built this fabulous […] place. The staff is incredibly nice and accomodating, with suggestions and directions everywhere. The location of the hotel is outside of the commercial bustle of Downtown, a plus for me, and much closer to the charming Pioneer Square neighborhood, which I much prefered. It's easy to grab a cab or a bus to get to any other neighborhood, so while the location isn't delightful, the hotel itself makes up for it. I am very much looking forward to the next time I can stay at this completely unique place! Read more

We really enjoyed our room here. We had a king size bed, whirpool tub room. The room was very spacious with two chairs and a table in between them for us to sit in after a long day of traveling around the city. The whirpool tub was great for relaxation too although it was a bit short for my fiance and I as we are both 5'11. We never ate in the hotel […] although there are a bar and a restaurant that are available. A great thing about the hotel is that it's located on 3rd and Cherry St. so it's easy to take the light rail here from the airport and it's convenient to take a bus to different parts of Seattle or to just walk around the downtown. It's also close to Pioneer Square if you want to go down there. One of my favorite parts of the hotel was the art deco styling. I loved, loved, loved the interior and exterior of the hotel. I also loved the warm chocolate chip cookies that they gave us at check in. The Arctic Club is a beautiful, efficiently, professionally run hotel that I would visit again. Read more

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much. The employees were very helpful with giving us directions to the places we wanted to go. We were late nighters while staying there and the gentle men at the front desk helped us find food as in a great pizza .Our room was awesome and cozy. We were treated very nice. We would defiantly stay there again in […] the future. Read more

Really enjoyed my stay. We went for valentines day and had a blast. The start of it was a lil rough with trying to check in but from the point on had no problems. Hotel is in walking distance from pikes market. Water front. And shopping downtown. I highly recommend this hotel.

My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. The location is great-right in the heart of downtown and within easy walking distance of everything you'd want to see on your first trip. The room was great. The bed was pretty comfortable and everything was clean and stylish. The arctic theme was really well done. My girlfriend just loved it. The hotel […] had a very authentic early 20th century feel. Finally, the hotel bar was great. The bartender, Victor, was a really good barkeep. he was helpful and made some great drinks. We really recommend this hotel. If you like polar themes, it is perfect. Read more

My wife and I love the Arctic Club - think boutique hotel don't think Doubletree.. great location.. great service.. really cozy... We travle the world and this is one of our favorite hotels.

I have stayed in Seattle several times over the past few years and no hotel has been like the Doubletree Arctic Club. From the moment we arrived, the service was top shelf. We immediately felt welcomed and comfortable. The location of the hotel was perfect because it is right next to the Seattle Link light rail station providing access to many local […] sites without needing to drive. The room was reasonably spacious and very comfortable. Everything was clean and tidy. We had a whirlpool room and it was very comfortable and relaxing. My only complaints are that they don't provide free internet access and parking is very expensive if you bring your own vehicle. Any hotel that still charges for internet access is behind the times.

Really nice hotel, great staff, very helpful and informed. Great lobby bar, old world feel. Viktor the bartender was super. Location was good if you like to walk. LRT also just outside the door. Comfy rooms and bed.

This "old" hotel (1914) was a stately business-men's club and has recently been beautifully renovated (2008), retaining it's considerable charm. It's well-located downtown, across the street from the light-rail station (direct shot to the airport, very cheap transportation). The staff is very friendly and the interiors are impressive. The room was spacious. […] The room accomodations were frustrating, however. The closet was so small as to be virtally unusable. The CFL lightbulbs in the lamps were so dim it was impossible to read, and trying to work at the desk was infuriating. The bathroom lights also were dim. The coffee maker was difficult to use. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were soft and collapsed to nothing. The poor lighting and ridiculous closet would discourage me from staying there again. Read more

The service at the front desk was friendly, warm and genuine. Even the bell hop was extremely friendly and helpful. The staff made it their personal goal to serve us. They even surprised us with a gift for our honeymoon!! It was my wife's and my first time in Seattle, and the Arctic Club Hotel definitely left a lasting impression. The building is not […] the nicest on the outside, but the inside is warm, beautiful, and full of character and history. We loved it!! In addition, it is right downtown within walking distance to tons of shopping and dining, with a bus route and light rail station literally right outside the entrance to the hotel! The one drawback of our stay is the size of our room, but it was clean, up to date, and is more than enough for the low-maintainance traveler. We will definitely be coming back to The Arctic Club!! Read more

Overall, this was a sensational, beautifully restored hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lobby bar is a particularly cool place. My only negative experience occurred as we checked out. We intended to take a cab to the airport but one of the bell-people told us that he had a car service available that would be cheaper than a cab. Seattle cabs […] post a flat rate to the airport on each car, an amt less than the car service would have charged. We said we preferred to take the flat rate cab but he insisted that we'll never get that rate, that cabs load on "extra" charges which would make the trip more expensive than the town car. He was wrong. We received the cab's posted flat rate for our trip to the airport. It's not a big deal but I was disappointed that the hotel guy tried to scam us in this way; I suspect they/he must get a percentage of fares steered to the limo company. Nonetheless, I loved this hotel, would definitely stay again and recommend it to others. Read more

Great staff and wonderful place. I rarely give reviews but I would love to for this hotel. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to place in four star + hotel for two star price! Oh, they greet you with really yummy warm chocolate chip cookies:-)

Walking distance to Quest Field and the waterfront. Amazing hotel with all the right touches. This is a place your guy will feel right at home in.

We returned to the Arctic for our first anniversary after being married their last year. We were treated with the same 5 star excellence. We wanted to stay in the same room we stayed in on our wedding night and the staff was more than happy to accommodate us and also sent up a wonderful fruit and cheese spread. The room was immaculate and had a beautiful […] balcony with views of the Smith tower and downtown. Juno, the restaurant down stairs, has a wonderful grill cheese and tomato soup along with their great happy hour menu and burgers. Overall we were so glad we returned and will be returning again soon. Read more

We were in Seattle for 3 nights for the Seahawks game. All the staff was very professional and courteous. helped us find local restaurants, get to IKEA and find a Starbucks that was open (most of the ones in the area are attached to corporate buildings and only open on weekdays). The whole hotel has same classy dark wood feel as the original gentleman's […] club it used to be. The architecture is gorgeous and the molding detail exquisite. The room had the same feel as the lobby and there was lots of attention to detail . The general lighting conditions in the room and hotel are very dim but add to the ambiance. Only major negative is the heating vents are on the wall, near the ceiling, above the bed. The first night they woke us up whenever they kicked on. The next day we got some earplugs from a local store and had no problems sleeping the rest of the weekend. (also helped keep out the general downtown night noise, semi trucks, fire truck sirens etc). All in all me and my wife had a wonderful weekend and would definitely stay there again. Read more
