Title
English: Sorrento Hotel tea room, Seattle, ca. 1921
Description
English:

By 1910, a number of hotels had been built just outside Seattle's downtown area for people traveling on business or pleasure. The Sorrento Hotel, which advertised itself as "A hotel in the heart of things," opened on First Hill in 1908. It had Seattle's first rooftop restaurant, a roof garden, and scenic views of the city, the bay, and the mountains. This photo shows the Sorrento Hotel's tea room in about 1921. The hotel still stands on the corner of Madison Street and Terry Avenue.
