This is a very cool, boutique hotel with lots of character. The staff were amazing, the breakfast that was included was good. The only downside was the restaurant food, it was cold and not too tasty - dinner only, breakfast downstairs was ok. Overall a great experience at this lovely hotel - would recommend!

***The downtown Seattle area has changed so much, a lot of junkies in the area at all hours - not specific to this hotel. Downtown Seattle is quite filthy.***

Me and my partner stayed at The Arctic for 4 nights and really enjoyed the cleanliness, free breakfast, and how close everything is to the hotel! The check in, check out, and valet process was very easy. Our hotel room had a hairdryer and iron which was very useful. However, valet parking was the only option compared to metered parking, which was a bit pricey. A bit expensive but understandably for a hotel with luxury vibes.

The place was beautiful. The history was great. The staff was great the valet parking attendant you couldn’t ask for a nicer man. He had it there within five minutes when we asked. The staff brought me spoons and forks at midnight because we ordered out food and it didn’t come with it. That’s above and beyond for me.
Nothing against the hotel but the area is a bit scary at dark. But that’s Seattle for you.
Would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is a beautifully renovated treasure. Despite the beauty inside, we were sad to see many homeless people living very near the hotel.

Our unusually large room was GREAT-comfortable bed, wonderful pillows and everything needed for a great hotel stay. The mini fridge had plenty of room to keep some snacks cool or handle leftovers from dinner.

The hotel breakfast was incredible-amazing selection of fresh fruit and the hot breakfast items were excellent. Wonderful coffee both in the room and at breakfast.
This was much better than most hotels that we have visited-it compares well with European hotel breakfasts.

The Polar Bar in the lobby is spectacular. A comfortable private club feel and ambience. Superb service in a lovely space. We enjoyed the historic ambience throughout the entire hotel. It looks \"right\" but is entirely modern, clean and new-very inviting and fun.

The Arctic Club is very convenient to public transit stops for both rail and bus. We enjoyed exploring the area with the bonus of not having to drive.

The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome in every area-front desk, luggage assistance/storage, room cleaning and food service. We would come back whenever our plans took us to Seattle-and will look for Oxford Group Hotels in other cities as well!

My daughter and I stayed at the Arctic Club Hotel July 18–21. We had mixed feelings. The historic property is attractive, the bar is nice, and the staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the hotel itself seemed to be struggling operationally.

Our room wasn’t serviced Sunday, so we returned that evening to find no fresh towels or coffee. It was serviced Monday, but the coffee still wasn’t replenished. Breakfast was fine Sunday, mediocre Monday, and on Tuesday there were no eggs, meat or fruit. My daughter ended up having tea and toast, I wound up with coffee and yogurt. So much for breakfast.

There were other annoyances: lots of stairs at the entrance, a dark and tired-looking lobby, and a wall lamp in our room that didn’t work. I was also charged $17 for a minibar item I hadn’t consumed. The front desk promptly removed the charge when I questioned it, but I could easily have missed it.

Despite my arranging a 12:30 p.m. late checkout with the front desk, I received an 11 a.m. call asking why I was still in the room. It was quickly resolved, but hardly gracious.

I don’t enjoy leaving negative reviews because I genuinely liked the staff. My impression is that the problem isn’t the people, but that there simply aren’t enough of them—or that management isn’t giving them the support they need. The Arctic Club has a terrific property and good people. With better management attention and adequate staffing, it could be an excellent hotel.

Luckily, I did not have to walk that direction. I walked down to 1st Street then walked with the crowds to and from the game and all went well. I would not feel comfortable walking at night by myself.

Beautiful hotel and stately rooms. It is in the middle of downtown so the ambient noise enters the hotel. The hot breakfast buffet was complementary which I appreciated for a family of 4.

Great stay with a few small misses

Friendly, welcoming staff made check‑in easy, and I loved my corner king room — spacious, quiet, and stylish. The hotel’s overall vibe was vintage updated yet comfortable, and the location was perfect, about a 15‑minute walk to Pike Place Market. Since I stayed on a Sunday night, the free parking out front until morning was a huge bonus.

Breakfast was included, but it wasn’t restocked often and the quality felt a bit dry. On the flip side, the bar completely delivered: great cocktails and truly amazing appetizers.

I was so pleasantly surprised by the Arctic Club. The doorman/valet greeted us warmly and was very happy to keep an eye on our rental as we checked in. He was great. The front desk check in was selfless and the gal was super friendly and helpful. The interior of the hotel is really well done - it's clearly been recently renovated, but done in a way that is perfectly assumed to the history character of the property. The lobby bar is a great place for a drink, the Juno restaurant downstairs serves a great hot breakfast, and the hotel is in a great location and super safe. Our room was a corner King and it was awesome. The bed was very comfortable, the room was beautifully appointed and the bathroom was amazing. I felt like it was 1920 but without sacrificing any modern amenities. Honestly, one of the best hotels I have stayed at in years.

Noisy at night, hard to sleep. The room above us flooded and water was dripping in our room and coming out of the light fixtures. We were forced to leave our room at 3am. We were told that they were at 94% full and that they couldn’t give us a new room and force my family and I and my 1 year old baby to leave. Staff was young and didn’t know how to handle the situation and only said sorry for kicking my family out at 3am. While my family and I were visiting from out of town from Az 1400 miles away from home.

Spent 3 nights here on our first trip to Seattle over 4th of July, not knowing that the location of this hotel is probably not the best. The area around the hotel has many derelict buildings with graffiti on walls, but we never felt unsafe. The exterior of the hotel needs some TLC, didn’t look like an operational hotel! Unfortunately we were told they don’t have any rooms with good views, ours overlooked an unused piece of land. The rooms are old-fashioned and the bathroom was dark. We went to Mt Rainier National Park (highly recommend it!!) after this stay and when we returned to Seattle for a final night, we stayed at the Grand Hyatt which was in a much nicer area and a much nicer hotel in general.

I looked into several hotels before choosing this one based on the great reviews and location. This hotel was more expensive than others I had in mind. The hotel itself was nice and clean and the staff was courteous. Our room had a queen bed and a sofa bed which is what I booked, no problems there. Once I turned the sofa into a bed I realized that it was incredibly uncomfortable, I could fee every metal spring digging into my ribs. I was too tired to take action that night, but in the morning I spoke to customer service. I felt that their response was dismissive at first and they asked me to pay an extra fee to have a better bed brought to the room. When I called them out on it, they changed to \"they would see what they could do\" which turned out to be sending a rollout bed to our room. I think the experience could have been better if, firstly, they equipped the rooms with beds people could actually sleep in and, secondly, customer service had been more empathetic at first. The hotel location was fantastic, however that also brought a lot of noise, so if you are a light sleeper it probably won't work for you. The breakfast was ok and we the vallet was expensive.

I love staying at this hotel when I’m in Seattle. I often use it to book people for work trips as well. It’s such a comfortable nice atmosphere when you walk in the front door you feel like you’re in a men’s club from years ago. The front desk staff are amazing, they’re always trying to see what they can do to make sure that your stay great. I especially love that they send you a text message a little bit after you’ve gotten to your room so they can ask if everything‘s OK and to your liking. Another great thing about this hotel is even though it’s downtown in the middle of Pioneer Square it happens to be very quiet at night. You may occasionally hear some sirens but nothing compared to most hotel hotels in downtown areas especially near the stadiums.
I also love that you can walk to the stadiums from here. It’s actually not that far and feels very safe at night as well.
I will admit that if you walk around near the area around the hotel, there are a lot of homeless folks however they are all very harmless and seem to just mind their own business. There is also a light rail stop at Pioneer Square directly across the street from this hotel, which makes it really convenient for getting around.
I highly recommend it. It’s a lovely hotel with lovely Staff.
