This is elegance at its best. I feel pampered just walking into the lobby area. The hotel architecture is appealing and inspiring. The interior designing is comforting yet upscale. Prices are, of course, high. They actually are reasonable considering what you would expect at aninternationally known elegant facility. They offer everything here.

BEST BRUNCH BUFFET EVER. Especially if you like fancypants brunch with carved prime rib, freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh shrimp cocktail, crab legs, lovely pastries, made to order omelets and waffles, etc. This was by far the most expensive brunch I have ever had, but fortunately I was able to expense it when I tried it. My husband took his mom there for brunch one year and she was definitely impressed :) It is an exquisite meal. Service is always 5 star-staff is attentive (some might say overly so). This is the kind of place where the wait staff refolds your napkin anytime you get up to try more food from the buffet. Luxurious, tasty, and oh so fancy.

Stayed here for 4 nights during a hectic business trip with some clients from Japan. Booked here because everything else in downtown Seattle was full. When I arrived at the front desk in my Alaskan clothes, they looked at me like I was a street person. As soon as they realized I had a reservation, the charm came out and I was treated like royalty. My room was unavailable so I was upgraded to a suite. Wow! From the ornate lobby, to the waterfall in the bar, to the fantastic room, I was very impressed. The shame of it was being so busy running around Seattle from dawn until midnight, it was only as I was leaving the room on the last day that I realized I hadn't touched the 4 choclate covered strawberries in the living room. Have always planned on returning with my wife and savoring all this hotel has to offer. All of the property is outstanding - but what sticks in my mind most is the room itself. French doors seperating living room from bedroom, white duvet, pillow menu and - in my mind the sign of a first class establishment - a phone and TV in the bathroom!
