"As neighborhood hotels pop up in Seattle, the fanciest one is this indulgent Ballard escape in the middle of the historic area boasting cool shops and a weekend cocktail trail."
Gayot
"Located in the center of Ballard --- arguably Seattle's most interesting neighborhood --- this boutique hotel is steps from the area's thriving art scene."
Afar Magazine
"Hotel offerings in Seattle’s outlying neighborhoods are fairly limited, making the Hotel Ballard a welcome addition to this newly revitalized district north of downtown."
