House (Alder)

The House (Alder) is a city-view suite, so your windows look out over the South Lake Union and downtown skyline. The hotel occupies floors 3–11 of an 18-story tower. Many of Seattle's best-known sights are within an easy walk: the Space Needle is about 0.6 miles away, a stroll of roughly 15 minutes.

The suite has 1 King Bed and 1 Queen Sofa Bed and sleeps up to four guests. The king is in the separate bedroom, dressed with Egyptian cotton sheets and hypo-allergenic premium bedding. The queen sofa bed is in the living area. A rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge.

At 1,195 sq. ft. it is a full one-bedroom suite, with the bedroom set apart from the living space. It has hardwood flooring throughout, blackout drapes in the bedroom, and climate-controlled heating and air conditioning. The living area suits unwinding or hosting, and the sofa bed turns it into a second sleeping space.

The private bathroom has a deep soaking bathtub and a separate rainfall shower. It is stocked with full-sized Bamford Spa-formulated toiletries, shampoo and soap. You will also find bathrobes, slippers and a hair dryer. Towels are changed every 2 days, and a toothbrush and toothpaste are available on request.

The suite includes Braille and raised signage, a phone accessibility kit, a vibrating pillow alarm, a visual fire alarm and closed-captioned TV. Hardwood flooring runs throughout, with no carpet. Speak to the hotel about your specific needs when you reserve.

The one-bedroom layout with a queen sofa bed suits a family of up to four, a couple wanting extra room, or a longer stay. The primary booking guest must be 21 or older. Dogs and cats up to 50 lbs are welcome, but pets are not allowed in the restaurants or the fitness center. A $125 cleaning fee applies only if extra cleaning is needed.

A mandatory amenity fee of $32 per room per day (plus tax) is charged at check-in. It covers Mind and Movement fitness and wellness experiences and pet beds. Wi-Fi is complimentary, and The Field House gym on the second floor has no extra fee. It has Peloton bikes, rowers and free weights, with classes such as HIIT and boxing. The hotel has no pool and no on-site spa. Instead, you can rent a HigherDOSE infrared sauna blanket, and the concierge can book sessions at Circle Wellness. Parking is valet only, from $18 for up to two hours or $69 overnight with in-and-out privileges.

La Loba, on the ground floor, serves Catalan-inspired cuisine with Mediterranean and Japanese influences, led by Chef Oscar Amador Edo. Dinner runs 4pm–10pm daily, with Sunday brunch 10am–2pm. Drift, just off the lobby, serves breakfast, café fare and a raw bar, plus cocktails and wine, with a Social Hour from 3pm to 5pm. In-room dining offers breakfast from 6am to 11am and all-day dining from 11am to 10pm.

Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. Sea-Tac Airport is roughly a 25-minute drive. The hotel works with Evergreen Shuttle for airport, Boeing Field and cruise-terminal transfers, and Uber, Lyft and taxis also serve it. Link light rail runs from the airport to Westlake Station, the nearest stop to the hotel.

The hotel sits in South Lake Union. The Amazon Spheres are about 400 meters away, and Denny Park is roughly a 6-minute walk. MoPOP is about 0.5 miles away, while the Space Needle and Pike Place Market are each around 0.6 miles, or about a 15-minute walk. The Seattle Art Museum and the waterfront are also close to the hotel.
