Frommer's Review
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this century-old building is a sparkling gem in an enviable location: halfway between Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square and only 3 blocks from the waterfront, the Seattle Art Museum, and Benaroya Hall. The Alexis is dedicated to the visual, performance, and literary arts, and throughout the hotel, both in guest rooms and in public spaces, are numerous original works of art. The cheerful, personalized service and the pleasant mix of contemporary and antique furnishings give the Alexis a very special atmosphere. In the guest rooms, classic styling with a European flavor prevails. Almost half of the rooms are suites, including very comfortable fireplace suites with whirlpool baths. The Author's Suite has signed copies of books by well-known authors. However, the spa suites are the real winners, offering whirlpool tubs in exceedingly luxurious bathrooms. In 2007, a major renovation upgraded the rooms and added new suites with ties to the local arts community. The hotel also has complimentary evening wine tastings.
