Lotte Hotel Seattle stands as a study in design. A 1908 beaux arts building — the nation’s oldest — dubbed The Sanctuary serves as downtown hotel’s landmark façade and hosts special events. The rest of the 2020-opened Lotte resides in a gleaming glass tower that stretches 44 stories. Inside, you’ll find acclaimed designer Philippe Starck’s touch in the inviting mid-century modern accommodations. And throughout the property, abstract art and rustic touches (like the 3,000-year-old sequoia tree front desk) pay homage to the Northwest and Seattle’s past as a logging center.
Along with the design, there’s a fine-dining restaurant serving Pacific Northwest cuisine and an ethereal spa with top-notch treatments, but you may be more focused on the commanding views of Elliot Bay and the skyline. And if the city calls, attractions like Pioneer Square, the Sky View Observatory at the Columbia Center and Pike Place Market are within a 15-minute walk.
