A world-class hotel in downtown Seattle, Hotel 1000 is one of Seattle’s best kept secrets for a great stay. We had a beautiful, thoughtful check-in experience and were greeted with a smile as we were told our junior suite would be on the 6th floor. Room 614 was expansive and beautiful.
My room was large and functional as much as it was beautiful. Carpet was thick and while the room had not recently been remodeled, it was very modern. The room was divided into two main rooms with a large king sized bed and a living room area. I was shocked that it had been more than ten years since the rooms had been remodeled because they were so urbane and well-kept.
This was a very large bedroom area in the room, next to the bathroom.
The bathroom was also great looking with extremely fine products by Le Labo. These are bathroom products that I’d find at the Ritz-Carlton. It was time to unwind with a bath and some relax time. The smells coming from the bathroom products were extraordinarily beautiful.
I can’t remember a Seattle hotel with a fancier bathroom and I loved that it was the centerpiece of the room, with very high-end touches. Each part of the room embodied simple elegance.
I always enjoy a glass of bubbles so we complemented that with a charcuterie board that was absolutely delicious.
Yeah, the charcuterie plate was just that good.
We were excited to dine at the downstairs restaurant, All Water, and savor their oyster hour, which offers oyster specials each day from 3-5PM. We headed down to the bar and I brought some wines to review. Oysters were roughly two dollars each making this quite a find.
The Olympia oysters were sweet and succulent.
At a new restaurant I am included to order a range of foods off the menu. Some might be stars and some not. The meal had many highlights as we tasted through the new releases from Seven Hills Winery. The crab cakes had a ton of crab cooked in with delicious aioli. I love the succulent prawns as well. But the best thing I tasted was hands down their short-rib which was fall off the bone delicious on their entree list. What a find!
We had to save room for a 20 year tawny port and flourless chocolate cake that was not too sweet and was a perfect foil for top port.
Beautiful range of foods at All Water, Hotel 1000’s restaurant.
We were feeling very full and satisfied leaving the restaurant and we headed upstairs to get ready for some rest. I can say that I enjoyed a fantastic sleep on this incredibly comfortable bed that was medium firmness. Pillows also nicely ranged from soft to firm which gives travelers options.
Here is the incredibly comfortable bed.
The next morning I felt highly refreshed as we headed down for some breakfast. I took in a few city views before checkout. This stay had been a really nice recharge from an extremely busy work week — just what I needed. Breakfast was really good and the service outstanding.
As a theme Hotel 1000 service was top notch throughout my stay. I hate when you pay a premium for a hotel room and nobody answers the phone downstairs. I’ve stayed at Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton where this is the case. Everything about my stay exceeded expectations. I’ve had the opportunity to overnight at Seattle hotels several times over but I think that Hotel 1000 in terms of rooms, amenities, service and overall experience offers one of the finest guest experience — up there with The Thompson. For a boutique hotel, everything in the room made sense. Food quality and service in the restaurant was extraordinarily good. They have a killer happy hour if you are fan of oysters like we are. I can’t recommend this hotel enough to anyone wanting to visit Seattle and take in a full five-star guest experience. I can’t wait until my next stay!
