Hotel Sorrento ghost lore

The Sorrento Hotel, opened in 1909 and operating at the same site for over a century, is frequently cited in local guides and media for reports of a female ghost and other unexplained occurrences described by guests and staff. These stories have been included in Seattle ghost-walking tours and in regional coverage of haunted hotels. Hotel management describes the accounts as part of the building’s long history and folklore rather than established fact. The hotel remains a functioning historic property and event venue in downtown Seattle.
