Kimpton Alexis Hotel
Overview
This upscale Seattle boutique hotel boasts one of the best locations in the city, right on First Avenue directly above Puget Sound, within easy walking distance of a vast number of outstanding dining options as well as Pike Place Market. Set in a 1901 building and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, guests enjoy lots of period charms like Queen Anne-style furnishings, along with modern amenities like Amazon Echo Dots, and iPod docking stations. Oozing sophistication, an impressive art collection lines the lobby walls, the gallery, and even some of the guest rooms. Art is a big theme here, so much so that the property has its very own curator who rates exhibitions regularly to tie in with the exhibits at the Seattle Art Museum nearby. The adjacent Bookstore Bar & Café is just one of the other highlights, set against a backdrop of brick walls, with large windows and fabulous fare that make it ideal for dining and people watching.
