Throughout the stunning 12-story high-rise lies a stylish aesthetic and vibrant atmosphere. With 152 rooms, including two penthouse suites, the combination of comfort and luxury makes any visit exceptional. Each room boasts floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing views of the harbor or city skyline. Within steps of the hotel lies the world-famous Pike Place Market and the bustling waterfront. Teeming with food, art and culture, exploring this iconic part of Seattle’s downtown area will entertain everyone in your party.

But, if you prefer to stay within the walls of this magnificent building, the rooftop bar, The Nest, offers an unforgettable experience. Panoramic views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains invite you to sip specialty-crafted cocktails and watch spectacular sunsets. If being outdoors is more your vibe, you can take your drink to the comfy seating by the fire pits. Not to be left out of the wedding scene, The Nest offers a clear tented area on their rooftop for private events and wedding celebrations.

For those looking for an upscale yet approachable dining experience, Conversation provides a refined setting with a carefully curated menu. The restaurant’s warm ambiance and comfortable seating make it an ideal place for everything from a casual breakfast to an elegant dinner.

Looking for a unique, upscale and adventurous experience for your wedding party? Thompson Seattle offers the outdoor excursion of a lifetime. In partnership with The Truffle Dog Company, guests can embark on a guided trek into the woods with truffle-sniffing dogs. Knowledgeable guides lead you and their expert truffle-sniffing pups into the forest to search for elusive black truffles. During the one- to two-hour outing, you’ll learn about the history of truffle hunting and the industry behind it. There is nothing better than the possibility of finding truffles on top of hanging out with adorable, intelligent pups. When the hunt is over, you’ll meet the Thompson’s Chef Chris Ingmire, who prepares truffle-infused drinks, appetizers and meals fresh off the grill.
