This 34-floor downtown skyscraper is more business-like than ostentatious, although a 2014 renovation has upped its ante somewhat. Get a room on one of the higher floors and enjoy broad Seattle vistas while swanning around in your bathrobe using the free wi-fi. The hotel is pet-friendly and has the obligatory (for downtown) gym. It sometimes offers good online deals.
