The 5 Hippest Hotels in Seattle
Exactly what hip means is up for debate, but we know it when we see it. From on-point decor to happening scenes, these Seattle hotels have what it takes to earn the honor. You'll feel cooler just checking in.
University Inn - A Staypineapple Hotel
Why it made the list
Close to the University of Washington, this hotel has a funky attitude, with cheery pops of color and cool artwork throughout. Bright yellow loaner bikes and a pool are also perks, as is relatively cheap parking.
W Seattle
Why it made the list
Maybe it's the DJ booth next to a large-scale artwork of vinyl album spines (can you spy the Seattle artists?). Maybe it's W Sound Suite recording studio that can be booked by guests. This W has a club-like vibe that endures.
Kimpton Palladian Hotel
Why it made the list
The knockout decor at this chic boutique hotel includes Napoleanesque portraits of Seattle icons like Jimi Hendrix and Dr. Frasier Crane. The hotel's Pennyroyal bar (named for a Nirvana song) is a cozy haunt.
Hotel Max
Why it made the list
Hotel Max has a floor devoted to iconic Seattle indie record label Sub Pop, which was instrumental in launching the grunge era. Band photos line the hallway and rooms on that floor boast a record player and a selection of vinyl.
Ace Hotel
Why it made the list
This is the original outpost of the Ace Hotel, now an international brand so hip that Portlandia based a popular sketch on it. Get ready to rack up the likes on Instagram.
