The hotel

Historic brick grittiness meets creature comforts at this turn-of-the-century building. Its downtown location puts you between Pike Place and Pioneer Square, each a few blocks away, with free morning tea and coffee before you head out (and a free wine hour when you return). The 24-hour gym’s anything but historic, winning Shape magazine’s award for ‘most fun’ hotel gym. And its popular Bookstore Bar & Café is as cosy as it sounds: book-covered brick walls and views of bustling 1st Avenue set the scene from brunch to late-night dining, with dishes by award-winning TV chef Caprial Pence, and an incredible rare whiskey selection.

I was able to experience what this well located hotel has to offer during a half day event I attended. The conference rooms were cozy. Morning coffee and lunch were served properly. I congratulated the organizers on selecting this venue. I have reviewed the Bookstore, the hotel’s bar/restaurant, separately. Mat (from Front Desk) kindly showed me a suite and a room. Both were spacious. He indicated the building was at one time an apartment complex. Probably that explains why the rooms are so sizeable. Leanne, the concierge was gracious in recommending a restaurant and making reservations for me. I liked her upbeat attitude and genuine helpfulness Read less

The staff at this hotel is fantastic. They accommodated a group event and rolled with us when we had to make many changes. They were responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend hosting events here. We will definitely return.

Staying at this hotel for our anniversary was an excellent choice. From the friendly and incredibly welcoming staff, the delicious food and the location itself, this is a great hotel to stay at. Because we were there on our anniversary we were given a surprise bottle of champagne, chocolate and macaroons in our room and a thoughtful handwritten card. And that’s what this whole stay was like; filled with incredible personal attention and great service. We would highly recommend this hotel. Thank you, Raul, Evan and Alexis for taking care of us.
