ALISO VIEJO, California—Pacifica Hotels announced the purchase of the Kimpton Hotel Vintage Seattle. The boutique hotel located in downtown Seattle will join the company’s growing portfolio of 40+ properties in California, Hawaii, and Oregon.
Purchased for $33.7 million, Pacifica Hotels plans to undergo a renovation that will refresh the 125 guestrooms and the restaurant and lobby. Hotel Vintage Seattle, which will remain Kimpton-operated, has 660 square feet of event space, an outdoor Italian restaurant named Tulio, a fitness center, and an adjacent parking garage. The hotel partners with a dozen Washington wineries across the state.

The hotel is on 5th Avenue in downtown Seattle, giving access to restaurants, food purveyors, and boutiques like Pike Place Market, Pacific Place, and historic Pioneer Square. The boutique hotel is also close to the Space Needle, Seattle Center, Seattle Art Museum, Benaroya Hall, Safeco Field, CenturyLink Field, and more.
