Opened in July, Little Ben’s Rooftop Bar atop The State Hotel’s eighth floor in downtown Seattle, Washington, features stunning views of the iconic Pike Place Market and Elliott Bay from its location at Second Avenue and Pike Street. In tandem with the hotel’s Terrace Suite, the rooftop area can host groups of up to 60 attendees and offers a tasty selection of cocktails, small bites, and other beverages.
“Its central downtown location also provides a stunning backdrop of Seattle’s cityscape and architectural landmarks, making it a premier choice for memorable meetings and events,” says Sarah Bolin, director of sales at the hotel. In addition to its new rooftop bar, The State Hotel has several other on-site meeting spaces for planners to select from, including The Alcove for up to 60 and its Ben Paris restaurant for up to 100 standing, among others.
Ben Paris serves up classic American fare and eye-catching cocktails—the drink menu includes concoctions like the Pheasantly Proper, made with vodka, salted blueberry, lemonade, and fennel; and The Gander Club, made with Vietnamese gin, lime, pandan, and falernum. Food menus span weekday brunch, Friday breakfast, all-week dinner, weekend brunch, and dessert; menu items attendees might see include ricotta pancakes, lamb tagliatelle, parmesan truffle fries, s’mores cake, and more. The restaurant also serves as the property’s primary caterer for events.
Additional amenities at the 91-room hotel include a 24-hour fitness center and guest room items such as miniature refrigerators, luggage racks, ironing boards, and more.
