Fodor's Expert Review W Seattle

With a club-like atmosphere that starts at the VIP-style lobby check-in, the W Seattle goes for a distinct "urban lodge" vibe, with guest rooms that feature a palette of Seattle-inspired grays and blues accented by bright pops of color, as well as headboards made from floor-to-ceiling backlit wood stacks and Northwest touches like plaid pillows and Pendleton-pattern wallpaper. The lobby pays homage to the city's history, from "lodge poles" that nod to Native American culture to a DJ booth crafted from an airplane turbine engine.
