Fodor's Expert Review McMenamins Elks Temple
565 Broadway, Tacoma, Washington, 98402, USA
The notably quirky McMenamins company runs this offbeat boutique hotel inside a dramatically refurbished 1916 Renaissance Revival landmark set high on a hill on the north side of downtown and adjacent to Tacoma's famous Spanish Steps. With its five bars, the hotel is a favorite among fans of nightlife and historic restoration. The variety of social venues—from the brewery tasting room to the game room to the tapas bar—means you have ample drinking and dining options, all under one roof.
