"In a world where luxury hotels constantly crow about exclusivity, Seattle’s 121-room Alexis is that rare, confident voice making the case that, in the hospitality business, it’s okay to be hospitable. It turns out that a stylishly appointed boutique hotel, even one with an artistic bent, loses none of its luster by accommodating a wide range of guests — from business travelers to families to the occasional rock star. They’ll even lay a doggie bed out for your St. Bernard, if your pooch has a taste for fine hotels." - Tablet Hotels
