Lotte Hotel Seattle
This Philippe Starck-designed hotel occupies 16 floors of the flashy 44-floor F5 Tower in the heart of downtown Seattle, within walking distance of Pike Place Market. Floor-to-ceiling windows with sprawling views of Elliott Bay make the rooms feel even bigger than they are, while heavy marble bathrooms, light-wood touches and splashes of colour add a sense of fun to the unquestionable stamp of luxury. The 32 suites are particularly sleek and spacious; the Presidential Suite even comes with its own baby grand piano. Charlotte Restaurant & Lounge elevates the classic dishes of the Pacific Northwest using fresh, local ingredients, while the spa and fitness centre offers a full slate of massages, facials, aromatherapy treatments plus hair and makeup options.
