Fodor's Review:
Hotel 1000 is new to the scene, but all new luxury properties will have to answer to it. The centerpiece of the small lobby is a dramatically backlighted staircase (don't worry, there's an elevator) and glass sculpture that looks like crystallized stalks of bamboo. The small sitting room off the lobby, with its elegant fire pit surrounded by mid-century modern swiveling leather stools, looks as though it's been designed for leggy Scandinavian beauties and the men in black turtlenecks who love them. The designers wanted the hotel to have a distinctly Pacific Northwest feel and they've succeeded greatly without being campy. The whole hotel is done in dark woods and deep earth tones with an occasional blue accent to represent the water. Materials like rain forest marble connect the urban space to the outdoors as much as possible. Elegant raw silk throws and fabrics in the guest rooms aren't local per se, but they could be seen as a nod to the city's sizable Thai community. Rooms are full of surprising touches, including large tubs that fill from the ceiling, and Hotel 1000 is without a doubt the most high-tech hotel in the city. Your phone will do everything from check the weather and airline schedules to give you restaurant suggestions; your TV doubles as an art gallery, displaying the greatest hits from the period of your choice; and MP3 player and iPod docking stations are standard amenities. If you ever get tired of fiddling with the gadgets in your room, there's a state-of-the-art virtual driving range programmed with some of the world's most challenging courses.
