PROPERTY ACCESSIBILITY

The Inn at Virginia Mason is an historic hotel, built in 1928, as an apartment building in the residential Seattle neighborhood called First Hill. Connected to the Virginia Mason Seattle Hospital, the Inn at Virginia Mason offers a caring environment to patients and their families and an affordable option for budget travelers. With no alterations made to original facility, the Inn at Virginia does not have accessible guest rooms at this time. We are happy to outline accessible items that are available to our guests in the following information:

  • We have several guest rooms with grab bars in the tub and adjacent to the toilet. We also provide toilet seat risers, shower chairs and hand held shower heads upon request at no additional cost. Grab bars in the tub and adjacent to the toilet are available in rooms with one queen and two double beds. To ensure availability of these amenities, requests need to be made at time of reservation.
  • The main entrance to the Inn has a flight of 7 stairs (two on the outside and five on the inside). Two accessible options:
    • Virginia Mason Hospital campus has an elevator adjoining the Inn on the east end of the building (next to the Hospital Surgery entrance) that can be accessed 24 hours per day.
