A Storied Past in Seattle

Built in 1918, MarQueen Hotel was originally the Seattle Engineering School, housing Henry Ford's students. These blacksmiths developed the Model-T, the first affordable car for the middle-class, with the building becoming the largest single garage in the city. Later, the garage moved up the Queen Anne Hill, and thus MarQueen Hotel was born. This rich history is still seen throughout the property, engineered with charming touches and nods to it's unique ride to success.

Fun, Reasonable, and Great Drinks!

We live in Seattle and are in the process of selling, so were looking for a home away from home. This is it. Great staff, reasonably priced, kitchenettes, and close to everything. It's an old building with vast history, and we enjoyed that as well (do the history tour). They had just opened The Tin Lizzie Lounge, and it was perfect. Great bartender, comfortable like an old speakeasy. We'll be back whenever we need an in-town place!

Charming Hotel

You couldn't find a nicer staff than at the MarQueen if you stayed at every hotel in Seattle. Great location, tons of magical Seattle sites within walking distance. The room are enormous with nearly full kitchens and the dog friendly policy made it easy to travel with our fur dude.
Stay here!

Nice Find in Downtown Seattle

Super convenient, clean, friendly and helpful staff. This hotel is a historic building and has no elevator. It has character, the beds and rooms are comfy. It's an easy walk to the Space Needle, Chihuly exhibit, and other attractions. Lots of good food nearby. And each room has a kitchen with fridge, sink, and microwave if you want to save $ and eat in. It's also close to a good grocery store.

A great historical place to stay

OMG what a historic place to stay. Built in 1918 and still has a lot of charm. The staff is simply amazing, always assisting my wife and I as we enter and depart the hotel. The Speak Easy, AKA TIN Lizzie Lounge is a step back in time with and old school flare. JR can fix you up with a great spirit. Centrally located to some amazing restaurants and easy walk to the Space Needle. All around a great stay.
