Frequently praised as one of America’s preeminent hotels for both accommodations and hospitality, the Alexis prides itself on being an “arts hotel” and boasts its own curator. In addition to housing an impressive permanent collection on par with many top museums, the Alexis Hotel also features multiple one-of-a-kind suite experiences. The Author’s Suite includes a crackling wood burning fireplace, cozy reading areas, a leather-covered writing desk and first-edition signed copies of works by Naomi Wolf, Joan Anderson and Nicholas Dawidoff. The John Lennon Suite contains multiple signed originals, along with a Bang and Olufsen stereo outfitted with his music. Colors in all guest rooms are soothing creams and beiges, the perfect backdrop for the original artworks that hang in every room At the Alexis, even your dog is welcome; every single one of the Alexis’ rooms is available to your furry companion. You’ll receive wine upon arrival; your pet will receive distilled water. When you’re ready to get out and about, you’re just a block from the waterfront and close to the Pike Place Market. The Seattle Art Museum and Rainier Square are also just a few blocks away.
