"Historic charm and timeless service are the hallmarks of this beloved Seattle institution, open since 1909. Once you’ve made your grand entrance through the Italian Renaissance entryway, the first thing you’ll notice is the rich mahogany lobby, with a crackling green tile fireplace at its center. The 76 rooms, and particularly the spacious suites, are homey in the very best way — like staying at your fabulous, very chic grandmother’s house, with regal drapes, chandeliers, and ornately carved mirrors." - Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd is a travel, wine and lifestyle writer.
