Sleeping in Seattle: The Four Seasons ART Lounge
Over the weekend we spent a few days in Seattle checking out the city's coffee shops, fish markets and, of course, the hotel scene. This week we'll be putting forth our reviews and observations on Seattle's hotels, of which there are plenty. Got any questions or suggestions? Let us know.
Just a few blocks up from the Hotel 1000 and one block from the must-see Pike Place Market is the new Four Seasons Hotel & Residences. When we sauntered by the place, there was a Ferrari parked out front. How cliche! Nevertheless, we decided we must head inside to check this place out. (We're such suckers!)
The Four Seasons came back to Seattle last fall with a new building consisting of 147 guest rooms, residences and views overlooking Elliot Bay.
While we didn't get to see any of the rooms, we were impressed with the lobby. Forget the stuffy old Four Seasons palace-look and in-your-face grandiosity. The design here is modern, sleek and clean but at the same time gentle and diverse. There's nothing stark or sterile about it.
After admiring some of the artwork hanging on the walls, we decided to do what we do best--hit up the hotel lounge for some drinks. Inside the ART Lounge, there's plenty of plush seating (we're becoming a fan of the FS lounge seating). But sadly the views are kind of anti-views as the Four Seasons over looks some sort of industrial plant and a storage space warehouse.
Still, it was a great place for a cocktail as the sun was going down. (Yes, it was sunny when we arrived in Seattle.) Our buddy ordered a negroni while we sipped on a cucumber mojito spiked with green tabasco. Both cocktails were just $10.
If we had more time, or if we return, we will have to try out the ART Restaurant which serves Pacific Northwest cuisine...and sushi.
