Thompson Seattle’s New Penthouse Suites Have Luxurious Views Of Puget Sound

Thompson Seattle has long been my go-to hotel in downtown Seattle, just steps away from Pike’s Place Market and with an excellent restaurant (Conversation Kitchen & Bar), and a spectacular 4,500-square-foot rooftop bar (The Nest) from which you can survey the city’s iconic PNW landscape. This luxury boutique hotel has upped its own ante with the opening of two new 1,000 square-foot penthouse suites that have unparalleled views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains from the 12th floor and are decked out with local artwork and other design touches.

While the suites are aesthetically aligned with the minimalist-luxe aesthetic of the rest of the hotel, they feel more like a pied-à-terre with art curated by Julianne Johnson and Austin Hicks of XO Seattle including local, street photography by Akin Olugbade, original acrylic works on canvas by Ariel Parrow, Zachary Schomberg & Sean Hamilton, music gig posters by Carlos Ruiz, and mixed media selections by Johnson herself.

Each penthouse has a king bedroom (with 400 thread-count SFERRA linens), a spacious, open living room/dining room/kitchen (with Wolf gas range and Subzero refrigerator), and the pièce de résistance: floor-to-ceiling windows.

“We are thrilled to offer our everyday and extended stay guests spaces that feel more like private residences, and the new Penthouse Suites truly feel like a private luxury apartment set above the bustle of the Pike Place Market just across the street,” said Whitney Brown, General Manager of Thompson Seattle. “Ideal for those seeking privacy and functional, upscale design, the new suites were created for guests to entertain with sweeping views of Elliot Bay in the oversized living room, relax in the spa-inspired bathroom, and sleep well thanks to all of the thoughtful comforts of home the Penthouse Suites offer.”

Simultaneous with the launch of these two new penthouse suites is the reveal of The Nest’s new culinary concept by Chef Chris Ingmire. The rooftop bar is the buzziest spot in town for apps, cocktails, and views for miles.

Thompson Seattle Penthouse Suite guests have access to priority reservations at The Nest Rooftop Bar & Lounge and Conversation Kitchen & Bar, complimentary valet parking, and a selection of exclusive experiences, including private cooking classes and dinner parties Chef Ingmire, fridge stocking options, curated wine selections, in-room massage, and Armoire x Thompson Vacation Wardrobe, a designer clothing rental service.

The design focus is on orienting one’s attention to the view, so whether you’re having a romantic dinner for two, hosting a cocktail party for friends, or settling in for a good night’s sleep, the tranquil view out over the water is mesmerizing, day or night.

And the location can’t be beat. Seattle is a surprisingly walkable city, and this address puts you in the heart of everything. Stroll to Taylor’s Shellfish for oysters, to the Seattle Art Museum to check out current exhibits, and to a burlesque show at Pike’s Place Market — this refreshingly chill town is at your fingertips.

Starting rates for each Penthouse Suite is $1,500 per night. For more information or to book a reservation, visit www.ThompsonSeattle.com.
