The Bacon Mansion
Bed and Breakfast

Passing through the gates of the Bacon Mansion Bed and Breakfast in Seattle Washington, guests view the stained glass red and white shields or emblem of the mansion.

Built in 1909 by Cecil Bacon on Seattle's Capitol Hill, this classical Edwardian-style Tudor shows not only the trademark family crest but demonstrates a fine preservation of original woods, a three-thousand-piece crystal chandelier, marble fireplaces and a treasured library. Located in the Historical Harvard-Belmont Landmark District of Seattle, most of the Mansion's original floor-plan and exterior has been retained. In 1984 a great fire spread through the Mansion, burning sixty percent of the interior. The house's massive walls, however, spared the glass and wood pocket doors found in the "day rooms". Reopening in 1985 as The Broadway Guest House, this exceptional bed and breakfast now retains the namesake of its builder, The Bacon Mansion.

The main guest house consists of nine thousand square feet of living space spread over four levels. A spacious outside patio leads to the historical Carriage House. Guests can choose from eleven individually decorated guest rooms. Nine of the guest rooms have private baths, while two guest rooms have a shared bath. Unique amenities enhance different rooms including a carved bird's-eye maple queen bed, glass French doors, queen beds, fireplace, day beds, wrought iron beds, wing back chairs, sitting areas, and wet bars. In the Carriage House, two beautifully decorated suites with queen beds, private baths and more offer a quiet retreat. All guest rooms are furnished with clock radio, television, hair dryer, and telephone with private voice mail and High speed Internet access data port. "Day rooms" are available for social or business events. Guests enjoy sitting out on the patio near the Italian fountain surrounded by colorful flowers or exploring the house and learning its rich history. There is a grand piano for all to enjoy.

In the morning, guests awaken to an enhanced Continental buffet with coffee, teas, muffins, cereals, juices and other delicacies. Catered lunches, dinners, and receptions are also available.

The Mansion is a short distance from the Capitol Hill and downtown Seattle's commercial districts. Enjoy shopping and access to fine restaurants as well as Seattle's many attractions including the Broadway District, the University of Washington Arboretum, Volunteer Park and Conservatory, and the Japanese Gardens. The Cornish Institute, Virginia Mason and Swedish Hospitals, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center are nearby.
