Frommer's Exceptional

In its gardens, architecture, and interior design, this hotel epitomizes contemporary Northwest style. Beautiful landscaping surrounds the entrance, and works of contemporary art are found throughout the public areas. The \"club\" in this hotel's name refers to a state-of-the-art health club that has everything from an indoor running track and three pools to indoor squash and outdoor tennis courts (there's also a full-service spa). But even if you aren't into aerobic workouts, this hotel has much to offer. You won't find more elegant rooms anywhere in the Seattle area. Accommodations are extremely plush, with the high-ceilinged club rooms among my favorites. These have floor-to-ceiling walls of glass, massive draperies, and private patios facing a beautiful garden. Luxurious European fabrics are everywhere, giving rooms a romantic feel. Bathrooms are resplendent in granite and glass, and most have whirlpool tubs. The same elegant contemporary design seen in the lobby is found in the hotel's Polaris Restaurant.

Facilities:3 restaurants (Pacific Rim, espresso bar); lounge; 2 indoor pools and 1 outdoor pool; expansive health club with Jacuzzis, saunas, steam rooms, tennis courts, racquetball courts, squash courts, and aerobics studios; spa; children's programs; game room; concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning.
