Reported apparitions at Hotel Sorrento

Guests and staff at the historic Hotel Sorrento have reported unexplained noises, cold spots, and sightings of a female apparition for decades. The hotel, opened in 1909, is commonly included on Seattle ghost-tour itineraries and in local press accounts of hauntings. Paranormal investigators and hotel staff have given interviews about intermittent activity, though explanations range from natural causes to folklore. These reports are part of the hotel's long-running reputation rather than a scientifically established phenomenon.
