Technical difficulties but a positive experience
Pros:

Technical issues prevented me from having a room key and, by extension, power in my hotel room for 4 hours. But the rest of my experience was positive. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the room was nice and the location was convenient.

Pros:

Staff welcoming, quiet room with daily attention and lovely bed linens. Oh, did I mention the shampoo and body cream? This is our second stay. For us there will be a third and a fourth…
Love the breakfast, the quiet… Seattle is hard to beat.

Not worth the trouble. Plenty of other great hotels.
Pros:

The hotel itself is beautiful and perfect location to walk everywhere in Seattle.

Cons:

Since checking out I have been double charged twice and then when they issued the second refund they shorted me $4.24. Not a huge amount but all the phone calls and repeating myself to get this resolved has been unbelievably frustrating. I won’t recommend booking with them through a third party because they don’t understand the concept of someone paying in advance. Just don’t.

Great stay
Pros:

I recently stayed at the Kimpton Palladian Hotel by IHG in Seattle and had a great experience. The hotel has a stylish boutique vibe with unique décor, comfortable rooms, and an excellent location just a short walk from Pike Place Market and the waterfront. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt both upscale and relaxed. I also enjoyed the cozy ambiance at Pennyroyal. If you’re looking for a trendy downtown Seattle hotel with character and convenience, the Kimpton Palladian is definitely worth considering.

Pretty good hotel
Pros:

Good stuff: + the location is great—just a half mile from Pike Place Market, and less than a mile in the other direction from the Space Needle. Plenty of restaurants, cafes, and shops to explore within a very short walking distance.

+ the motif is kind of dark and brooding but also really fun (the throw pillow in my room had a picture of Ricky Gervais dressed as a soldier, and a second glance at the large oil painting in the hallway confirms that it’s Kurt Cobain).

+room was quite clean, bed was very comfortable

+the attached bar, PennyRoyal, is excellent —great drinks, friendly service, reasonably quiet. Happy hour deals are very solid

+ the attached restaurant, Shaker + Spear, has a very solid breakfast and good service. Service can be slow since there was only one person cooking for the entire restaurant during both breakfast services.

The bad:

+ the location can be quite loud— a lot of ambient noise, sirens, people yelling on the street. The hotel includes a pair of ear plugs in your room. I also used a white noise maker, which helped.

+ the elevator went out of service my first evening there. Huge bummer to walk up to the 9th floor after a few cocktails. However, one of the two elevators was operational by the time I needed to use it the next morning. I was told that I would receive a drink voucher, but that never happened and I never saw the employee (manager?) who offered it again.

+ I booked with a rewards credit card, with a “guaranteed” 4pm late check out. By contrast, I also have an early check in benefit that is explicitly “subject to availability.” I asked about this multiple times during my stay, and when I asked for the 3rd time the morning of my departure, I was told that “late checkout requests are always subject to availability” which is very much not a “guarantee” and explicitly not how the benefit is outlined. The hotel stated that it was “able” to accommodate a 2pm checkout, which is what I accepted but it was also a pretty big inconvenience since it was a work trip and I scheduled my evening flight with the “guarantee” in mind.

Overall, it’s a good hotel. I wouldn’t book if you’re explicitly looking for a quiet night’s sleep or if your travel plans require you to leave in the evening.

First Timer Fun!
Pros:

The location is absolutely perfect if you're looking for the quintessential Seattle downtown experience. Very short walk to Pike Street Market, the waterfront and "boardwalk". A LARGE variety of restaurants within blocks. The hotel is a mixture of funky and elegant. The hallways & lobby are dark and moody while the room is bright and well appointed. Hospitality was exceptional!

Kimpton Palladian is our new home away from home.
Pros:

Brittany made our stay a 12/10. She was helpful, attentive, and her bright and approachable personality went above and beyond our expectations. This was our last hotel and BEST stay after traveling on the road for seven days. Even though it was the end of her shift on Friday night, she made sure we were checked in and settled in before she left for the day. We just moved to the area and will be only using the Kimpton Palladian and recommending this to visiting friends and family.
In addition, Huntly at Penny Royal was wonderful and attentive and made us feel welcome back anytime.
