The 1915 Georgian-style Chambered Nautilus has six guest rooms that are decor-
ated with authentic British antiques, as well as an annex with one- and two-bedroom
suites. All B&B rooms here come with private bathrooms, down comforters, handmade
soaps and a teddy bear. The communal living room has a welcoming fireplace, and the
full gourmet breakfast is reason enough to stay.
Across the street they offer four kid-friendly, pet-friendly suites with kitchenettes
($124 to $214).

Creating something new in a venerable old building replete
with exposed brick and chunky radiators, Hotel Hotel is - guess what? - a hostel (with
dorms) that also passes itself off as a economical hotel on account of its private rooms
(with an assortment of shared and en-suite bathrooms). Sporting industrial-chic decor
not unlike Belltown's more established Ace Hotel, it's comfortable without being fancy.
A buffet breakfast is included in the price, and there is a common room and a kit-
chen.

A new
four-room B&B up on Phinney Ridge near the zoo with sweeping views (if you get the
Ballard View room), the 9 Cranes has quickly established a good reputation since its
2012 opening. It inhabits a pleasant self-contained neighborhood near Green Lake that
has long lacked good places to stay.
