Old-world Ballard stays, city-close

The Ballard Inn brings a European-style, small-hotel feel to a restored 1902 building, with a moody black-and-white lobby anchored by a dramatic chandelier. Mornings start simply with complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby, plus fresh fruit and newspapers. It is also a strong base for staying active, thanks to complimentary access to the adjacent Olympic Athletic Club.
