The Alexis Hotel

If you are looking for a hotel with the WOW factor in every category, this is it.  

The Alexis is in the perfect downtown location, between the Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square.  Near the ferry terminal, shopping, the flagship Nordstrom, the Seattle Art Museum, and the stadiums.  And some of the best eateries in town.  It is in an historic building in the district that saw the “great fire” of 1889 raze much of the downtown.

The rooms epitomize the “lap of luxury” with high-end linens, bath amenities,  complimentary wi-fi,  and morning  newspaper, and complimentary morning cofee waiting downstairs.  Spacious rooms with room for both work and rest.   There are only 121 with a selection of specialty suites included.

The little touches include complimentary fitness center and steam room,  wine in the lobby at 5pm, and you can bring your best friend, Fido, along too.  

The Library Bistro and the Bookstore Bar are on premises, and room service can be ordered from the Bistro around the clock.  Breakfast, lunch and brunch are served in the Bistro, and dinner can be found at the Bookstore Bar.

Of course there is a spa, with both traditional favorites and new treatments; you may even be able to be treated in your room!

The fitness center has various machines and the space and equipment for yoga, stretching, and the use of free weights.  Or, hop on a bike and enjoy free rental while you cruise downtown Seattle.

Anything from a small meeting, to a celebratory party,  to a wedding can be planned at the Alexis.   Venues of various sizes are available, and up to 175 guests can be accommodated.

The specialty shops were carefully selected to provide the highest quality of goods, from a parfumerie  with over 500 fragrances, some quite rare, to a jeweler, to an art gallery, and in the best Seattle tradition,  North Face outfitters so you will be ready for a mountain climb or a hike through the city’s parks.

The Alexis is a part of Kimpton Hotels, a group of boutique hotels of interest around the USA.  See this gorgeous hotel at www.alexishotel.com.
