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!
