Inn at El Gaucho

The Inn at El Gaucho is situated in the heart of Seattle’s Belltown district, which means you have over 100 of the city’s most happening restaurants and bars, plus one-of-a-kind boutiques and popular music venues, right outside your door. Conveniently, you’ll also be walking distance from many of the city’s classic attractions: the famed Pike Place Market (yes -- they still do the famous fish toss), Seattle Aquarium, the Space Needle, Seattle Art Museum, the waterfront, and much, much more. Belltown is a serious nightlife destination for many locals, so expect Friday and Saturday nights to be hopping -- even at the hotel, which is located in the same building as the renowned El Gaucho steakhouse.- 5-minute walk to Olympic Sculpture Park

It’s hard not to feel at home at The Inn at El Gaucho: The 250-square-foot (or larger) rooms are outfitted with “retro-swank” furnishings and thoughtful touches (think: leather club seating, tea trays stocked with cookies upon check-in, and fresh flowers from nearby Pike Place Market). But the view of Seattle’s water and mountains -- which is the hallmark of the “Puget Sound Suites” -- will remind you that, in fact, you’ve definitely landed in the Emerald City. The Inn provides more affordable “Belltown Suites,” which trade that water view for an outlook of the lively neighborhood dining-and-shopping scene; but you can also upgrade to a “Deluxe Suite,” where you’ll find yourself with an extra 100 square feet of living space, plus a full-size sofa to boot.All Rooms Include:- One queen bed
