17 Best Hotels in Seattle, Washington (2025) | Condé Nast Traveler
"Located in lively Ballard, this small boutique hotel is a lesson in scaled‑down luxury with only 29 rooms, big windows, and suites that feel like private pied‑à‑terres; I liked how it leans into the neighborhood’s maritime and Scandinavian roots. Walkable access to craft breweries, Nordic bakeries, and Ballard Avenue shopping makes it ideal for weekenders who want local rhythm rather than the tourist loop, and complimentary day passes to the Olympic Athletic Club turn a stay into a well‑deserved treat." - Jessica Voelker
