"The Lotte Hotel Seattle, opened in September 2020, is part of the South Korea–based Lotte Hotels and Resorts. Renowned French industrial designer Philippe Starck imbued the hotel with a past-meets-present spirit. The hotel occupies the top 16 floors of the modern 44-story F5 Tower and is connected to the historic Beaux-Arts–style building, previously the nation’s first United Methodist Church, now restored as the Sanctuary. It offers 189 guest rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, a reclaimed sequoia log front desk, and references to the Pacific Northwest’s rain forests. The hotel is pet friendly and centrally located, making it ideal for design-minded travelers, families, and business travelers. The Charlotte Restaurant and Lounge on the 16th floor celebrates local ingredients with seasonal menus. The hotel also offers Le Spa de l’hôtel Lotte with various treatments and services." - Supriya Kalidas
