Concierge.com's insider take:
El Gaucho Steakhouse may have a flashy reputation, but the swanky inn above it is an almost secretive affair, relying mostly on word of mouth to bring in guests. There's meticulous attention to detail in the 18 suites, from their coffee-color Italian leather sofas to their Bose Wave stereos. The 1950s retro theme of the restaurant carries over into the inn, where lemonade-color walls are offset by deep brown accents. Business travelers will appreciate the well-equipped workstations, and those on vacation can enjoy an in-room spa treatment and room service from the steak house. Room 9 has the best view of Puget Sound. A word of advice: The inn is on a busy corner in Belltown, a neighborhood known for its raucous weekend nightlife, so look elsewhere if you're sensitive to street noise. There is another drawback here: Your luggage will enjoy a ride in the freight elevator, but you'll have to climb a flight of stairs.
