The historic landmark is treasure in the International District and new getaway from downtown if you get bored with all the cafes in the area.
Always a delight staying here
Great for tea and history lovers. You can learn a lot about the Japanese -American community in Seattle. You can visit the baths nearby on Sundays only.

Visit Panama Hotel and Tea House for a historic experience rich in significance. The cafe, which also functions as a museum, offers excellent service and a wide selection of teas. Visitors can enjoy delicious treats like youkan/mochi and pastries while engaging with passionate staff members. The hotel highlights the history of Japanese migrants in Seattle and demonstrates the beautiful society they built before being forced into concentration camps. This early 20th-century venue is a cozy spot to relax, learn about local history, and meet the friendly live-in cat, Myu Myu. The cafe is full of memorabilia and history related to Japanese immigrants, making it a special place to spend some time and explore an important monument. Don't miss the ginger molasses cookie, highly recommended by visitors.
