Just above downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill is known for its older homes, shops, restaurants, coffee houses, parks, and theaters. The Harvard-Belmont Historical District, a protected area of fine, elegant homes reflecting the robust architecture of yesteryear, abuts the Seattle Bed and Breakfast on Capitol Hill.
Built in 1903, the Bed and Breakfast on Capitol Hill is a comfortable, mid-sized home, characteristic of turn-of-the-century Seattle architecture. Whether traveling on business or for pleasure, guests will find its atmosphere friendly, quiet, and pleasant.
In addition to the lively arts scene, Capitol Hill is home to Seattle University, Seattle Central Community College, and Cornish College of the Arts. As part of historic Seattle, the neighborhood is an excellent choice for visitors.
The Bed and Breakfast on Capitol Hill has three lovely rooms to accommodate guests comfortably. Whether you are an “early bird” or prefer to sleep late, a light and healthy breakfast, including toast, English muffins, juice, fruit, yogurt, cereals, coffee and tea, is available between 6 and 10:30 a.m.
