Stay in our Seattle bed and breakfast, and enjoy the charm and comfort of yesterday, with all the convenience of today.

Shields of red and white can be seen on the round stained glass windows as one passes through the gates of the Bacon Mansion – the leading bed and breakfast in Seattle, Washington. Built in 1909 by Cecil Bacon on Seattle's Capitol Hill, this classic Edwardian-style Tudor shows not only the trademark family crest, but a fine preservation of original woods, chandelier with 3,000 crystals, marble fireplaces, and a treasured library.

Located in the Historical Harvard-Belmont Landmark District, most of the original floor plan and exterior has been retained. In 1984, a great fire burned 60% of the interior and necessitated major renovation. Fortunately, Bacon Mansion's massive walls spared the glass and wood pocket doors found in the "day rooms." Opening as The Broadway Guest House in 1985, this unique bed and breakfast is now a stately residence for all who enter.

The main Guest House, consisting of 8,000 square feet of living space, is divided between four levels. A spacious outside patio leads to the historic Carriage House. The Mansion's guest rooms are available nightly, as well as the "day rooms," which are available for social and business events. Along with delicious breakfasts, which include a potpourri of cereals, muffins and delicacies, catered lunches, dinners and receptions are also available.

History fills the mansion walls, and while you explore the house, perhaps you will catch a fellow guest playing the grand piano. Just a short distance from the Capitol Hill and downtown Seattle’s commercial districts, you will be sure to enjoy shopping and access to Seattle's many attractions.

Note that Effective Sunday 5/18 the Olive Way Exit will be closed for a year and you will need to take Exit 168A Lakeview Blvd.from northbound I-5.

Wow, the first six months of 2009 is almost behind us. I want to thank all the returning guests that we have seen here at the Bacon Mansion. It has been a pleasure reconnecting with all of you. Your return means more to us than a review, though would love it if you took the few minutes to write one. Please let us know if there are things that we can do to improve you stay. There are lots of great things to do here in Seattle this summer and would love to help both new and repeating guests plan and enjoy many of them.

I have created a blog at www.blog.baconmansion.com if you have any interest in following or contributing to. Never thought I would do one, but we'll see how it evolves. See the link up and to the left.Let me know what you think and any ideas you might have.

In 2009 we are double downing our efforts to increase our recycling rates, including recycling all our food scraps and whatever else we can into our yard waste, compost bin the the city is picking up every week. Also, our tap water is straight from the winter snow pack, so no need for bottled water and the containers it comes in. Join us in our commitment.

Though you may book online when checking "check availability",
we still prefer to personally speak with all of our guests if it is during business hours (8 am to 7 pm), to insure that you are reserving the room that best fits your desires and needs and to make sure you understand our cancellation and check-in policies. If you don't hear back from us within 24 hours on a reservation request, please give us a call as something maybe was wrong with your return email address. We try to answer our email promptly.
