Fodor's Expert Review MarQueen Hotel

Fans of historic boutique hotels will love this reasonably priced 1918 brick property at the foot of Queen Anne Hill. Formerly an apartment building, the MarQueen has spacious guest rooms, all with kitchens/kitchenettes and seating areas. Patrons of the opera, ballet, and theater will enjoy being just blocks from Seattle Center and Belltown. On-site spa and salon services offer a relaxing break for worn-out guests, while the speakeasy-themed Tin Lizzie Lounge downstairs is a great spot to meet fellow travelers. Note that while the historic building gives the place character, it also means it's not sealed off from street noise and that some of the rooms show their age.
