Graduate Seattle

Loved my stay at The Graduate - the reception staff were all very kind and helpful. As I'm writing this about a month later, I forget their name but one of them was exceptionally so and she gave me, I believe, 4 sides of A4 of ideas/sights to check out in Seattle (which were all fantastic and really made me feel like I got the most out of my visit!). There is an excellent coffee shop connected to the building via the lobby and the subway/metro is practically just across the street so it was no trouble at all getting to the hotel in the first place from the airport and then later reaching the train station or heading into the city proper. The room was decorated in a really cool way and had everything I needed personally.

Rooms are of special "student style" in many cute details. Very comfortable bed. Very close to UDistrict station of the Light Link train, which gets you to Capitol Hill (nice area, nice restaurants) in 10min, downtown in 15min and directly to the airport in 45min for ~3$. Area is really nice with some bars and restaurants and because of the university just around the corner with many young and nice people on the streets.

Graduate Seattle is one of the most top tier experiences I’ve ever had. The accommodations were stellar and the history unique. The staff was unbelievable — the front desk, valet team, mountaineering club hostesses, the incredibly respectful/helpful maintenance men, and the lovely house keepers — whoever is in charge of hiring has put together the most amazing crew and it shows, bravo. The hotel is very clean and unique. The showers have quality products, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The curtains fully close for a proper night of rest. The walls are very well insulated and sound proofed. Fast elevators and fast service. Tons of food options in easy walking distance. The Mountaineering Club has amazing views, food, and atmosphere. Ryan and Devin (and the whole team) are sublime, their bartending and general knowledge is next level: they are humble but if you’re craving a drink they’ll make the best one you’ve ever had. I’ve never rated a place 10/10 but hands down will for Graduate Seattle, will be back, and will recommend to all friends traveling to Seattle:

Desiree, the front staff was amazing. Accommodated us was warm and welcoming gave us recommendations for local eateries and also gave us a complementary drink ticket to the Mountaineer rooftop bar, which I highly recommend everyone try to make it to the mountaineer bar. If you don’t like alcoholic drinks there are non-alcoholic cocktails and the food looked amazing. I will definitely be back and thanks to Toni for accommodating us on our late arrival to be able to experience the mountaineer your bar.

Stunning hotel, beautifully decorated, comfortable room
