Seattle’s original El Gaucho was part speak-easy and part Hunt’s breakfast club. That was 1953 and it was run by Jim Ward. By 1985 that era had come to end. Paul Mackay wasn’t satisfied with that so he reopened El Gaucho in 1996 with a simple truth: Guest first mentality, genuine, passionate, hospitable, caring, supportive and engaged. Mackay wanted it to be more romantic, We’ve created what people dreamed the past was and amplified it for today’s guest. The restaurant would go on to become a Seattle institution.

At the top of Pier 70 is AQuA by El Gaucho, with walls of glass that showcase some of Seattle’s finest views of Elliott Bay, Magnolia Bluff and the Space Needle. Sit inside at the 85 ft. lighted serpentine bar or outside on an expansive outdoor deck while sipping an AQUA mojito and enjoying a spectacular sunset. 

The Inn at El Gaucho is a luxury urban inn where you can stay in and pamper yourself or step right out the door to enjoy the sites of downtown Seattle.
