9.4/10 Exceptional! (2,387 reviews)

Rooms are small. No shelf space in bathroom for toiletries. Single pane windows so we got to hear the vehicles with exhaust cutouts racing at night which were very loud, and the rooms were cold near the windows and the floors were cold also. There no information brochures in the room or visible in the lobby. Hotel tried to tack on a daily $20 fee for who knows what and the desk clerk couldn’t tell me either. Would stay elsewhere next trip for sure.

A Quintessential Art Deco Skyscraper

This Art Deco landmark in downtown Seattle, was designed and built to be "A Modern Office Building of Distinction and Character Combining Beauty and Utility”
Designed by architect Abraham Horace Albertson, with Joseph Wade Wilson and Paul David Richardson, It costed about $2 million and took a year to build. It was described as:

"With its muscular vertical piers and tapering setbacks, the Seattle Tower is considered Seattle's quintessential Art Deco skyscraper … The client wanted a building that would be a symbol of reliability and permanence and the architects responded with a building that was intended to suggest the mountains that surround Seattle. The multi-colored brick becomes gradually lighter as it reaches the top of the building and the piers are finished with light terra-cotta resembling snow-capped rocky peaks. Stylized metal rods resembling evergreen trees crown the building ..."
