The Inn at Virginia Mason You may think we've sent you to a hospital
rather than a hotel when you first arrive at this older hotel on Pill Hill—but don't
have a heart attack. Although it is adjacent to the Virginia Mason Hospital, this
is definitely a hotel. Regardless of the fact that most guests are here because of the
hospital, the hotel is a good choice for vacationers as well. Rates are economical,
the location is quiet, and you're close to downtown. There's a rooftop sun deck
and a shady little courtyard just off the lobby. Although the carpets and furniture
here are in need of replacement, the rooms are still serviceable. Because this is an
old building, room sizes vary, but most have large closets, modern bathrooms,
and wingback chairs. Deluxe rooms and suites can be quite large, and some have
whirlpool baths and fireplaces.

Mayflower Park Hotel If your favorite recreational activities include
shopping or sipping martinis, the Mayflower Park is for you. Built in 1927, this
historic hotel is connected to the upscale Westlake Center shopping plaza and is
within a block of both Nordstrom and Bon-Macys. Most rooms here are fur-
nished with an eclectic blend of contemporary Italian and traditional European
pieces. Some rooms still have small, old-fashioned bathrooms, but all have been
recently renovated. The smallest guest rooms are cramped; if you crave space, ask
for one of the larger corner rooms or a suite. Martini drinkers will want to spend
time at the hotel's Oliver's Lounge, which serves the best martinis in Seattle and
has free hors d'oeuvres in the evening. The hotel's Andaluca restaurant is a
plush, contemporary spot serving a highly creative cuisine. See “Where to
Dine,” later in this chapter, for a full review.

The Roosevelt, A Coast Hotel With a small lobby decorated to resemble
a library in an old mansion (complete with bookshelves around the fireplace and
a grand piano off to one side), the Roosevelt is a vintage 1929 hotel with plenty
of class. Be forewarned, though, that the rooms tend to be quite small, and rates
can be high for what you get, unless you're visiting in the rainy season or can get
some sort of discounted deal. The smallest rooms, known here as studios, have
one double bed and a tiny bathroom with a shower only (no tub) and are very
cramped. For more space, you'll have to opt for a queen or king room. Most
units have small bathrooms with little counter space. The largest rooms verge on
being suites and have double whirlpool tubs.
