The 27-story Marriott, which opened in 1989 as the first of three hotels at Pacific Place, is overshadowed by the more luxuriously appointed Conrad and Island Shangri-La. Its lobby, while not as grandiose as others in this category, is nonetheless the only one of Pacific Place's hotels to offer views of the harbor from its lounge (though recent construction has robbed the lounge of its once-grandiose panorama). Rooms, too, are smaller than others in its price range but are all designed with right-angled "saw-toothed" windows to maximize views of the harbor or Peak. On the downside, rooms facing the harbor are subject to the slight din of traffic; since rates are the same, request a room on a high floor. What you're really paying for here are location and a full range of facilities.
