17 Best Hotels in Seattle, Washington (2025) | Condé Nast Traveler

"Book lovers, fitness enthusiasts, and whiskey aficionados find common ground at the Alexis, a century‑old downtown boutique that marries exposed brick and wood beams with fresh contemporary design and rotating local art installations. Rooms are generously sized with quirky details, and The Bookstore Bar & Café serves comfort food, rare whiskies, and lively conversation among the tomes, making it one of the city’s most joyful hotel bars; the award‑winning fitness center includes a rock‑climbing wall and a Peloton. A stay here feels rooted in Seattle’s past while tuned to the present." - Jessica Voelker
