Shields of red and white can be seen on
the round stained glass windows as one passes through the gates of the
Bacon Mansion Bed and Breakfast. Built in 1909 by Cecil Bacon on
Seattle's Capitol Hill, this classical Edwardian Style Tudor shows not
only the trademark family crest but a fine preservation of original
woods, 3000 crystal chandelier, 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. Bacon
Mansion's massive walls, however, 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 to all who
enter.
The main
Guest House, consisting of 9,000 square feet of living space
is divided between four levels. A spacious outside patio leads to the
historical Carriage House. The Mansion's guest rooms are available
nightly, as well as the "day rooms" which are available for social and
business events. Besides a delicious breakfast including 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 commercial
districts, you will be sure to enjoy shopping and access to Seattle's
many attractions.

The Bacon Mansion has 11 stately guest rooms, ranging from
a cozy hideaway to a spacious suite. All guest rooms are furnished
with hair dryers, clock radio, television and telephone with private
voice mail and data port.
Capitol Suite:
Viewing Seattle's Space
Needle, this gigantic second floor suite with private bath boasts a
queen empress bed with a separate hide-a-way sleeper in the adjacent
sunroom. A beautiful, warm fireplace frames the finely appointed pine
woods and white wicker furniture. The abundant mirrors, warm sunlight,
and the mansion's original glass french doors, make this suite truly a
grand experience.
Rose
Room: Known formally as the "Maid's Quarters," though
originally the nursey, this warm second floor room will lighten your
stay with beautiful materials, large windows, a private bath and queen
bed.
Venetian Room: Fine European influence distinguishes this
second floor room with its carved bird's-eye maple queen bed, and big
private bath. The large tub, bright sunlight, and second floor location
make the most of this classical renaissance chamber.
Fountain Room: An Italian
Fountain is the backdrop for this large room beneath the mansion's main
floor. Grey and burgundy complement the wrought iron queen and day beds
while comfortable wing back chairs and a private bath create a relaxing
atmosphere.

cabin. This cozy hideaway nestled high on the third floor above sports

floor. In addition to the large fireplace in front of a hide-a-away
sleeper, the room is bathed in afternoon light as it filters through the
Japanese maples into the west facing windows.
Garden Room: Tucked below the main floor of the mansion, with
its own wet bar and private bath, lies the cheerful bedchamber. A wash
of spring colors inside and out, a queen bed, and a space for three will
make your stay special.

separate rooms that can be connected through a double locked door. On
the main floor, a large queen bed, private bath with large walk-in
tiled shower, hide-a-way sleeper and seating area are surrounded by
the timbers and doors of the original Carriage House. Handicapped

House.
