Hotel Monaco, Seattle

Print
1101 Fourth Avenue , Downtown
Seattle , Washington
(800) 945-2240

COST: $$

<p>Like a moneyed earth mother who trolls Whole Foods for overpriced organics, this 189-room hotel strikes an odd balance between simple elegance and conspicuous glitziness. Cheery, humble Mediterranean design is on display in the lobby, where dolphin murals adorn the walls; and several guest rooms follow suit with whitewashed armoires, Santorini blue-and-white wallpaper, and framed watercolor seascapes. But other rooms are theatrical, with bold raspberry-and-white striped wallpaper and shabby-chic sitting areas that evoke the dressing rooms of an eccentric stage actress. Luckily, all rooms have access to the same luxurious amenities, like in-room reflexology massage using rice- and sake-based creams.</p> <p><strong>Tip:</strong> Bring Fido and Kitty along. The Monaco has great pet amenities, including a special room service menu featuring snacks (biscuits) and full meals (turkey meatloaf). There are even doggie coats for sale, monogrammed with the hotel's logo.</p> <p><strong>Room to Book:</strong> The Palace Majestic Suite. Done up in sunny yellows and bright blues, the room has floor-to-ceiling windows and a big jetted tub in the bathroom.</p>
