During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Seattle Art Museum
You simply can't miss this downtown art museum. Just look for Jonathon Borofsky's Hammering Man, an animated three-story steel sculpture that pounds out a silent beat in front of the museum. Inside, you'll find one of the nation's premier collections of Northwest Coast Indian art and artifacts and an equally large collection of African art. Exhibits cover European and American art ranging from ancient Mediterranean works to pieces from the medieval, Renaissance, and baroque periods. A large 18th-century collection and a smaller 19th-century exhibition lead up to a 20th-century collection that includes a room devoted to Northwest contemporary art. (There's also a smattering of Asian art at this museum, but the city's major collection of Asian art is at the Seattle Asian Art Museum in Volunteer Park.) Free guided tours of the different collections are offered.
IMAXDome Theater
The IMAX Dome is a movie theater with a 180-degree screen that fills your peripheral vision and puts you right in the middle of the action. This huge wraparound theater is adjacent to the Seattle Aquarium, and for many years now has featured a film about the eruption of Mount St. Helens. Various other special features are screened throughout the year.
Seattle Asian Art Museum
Housed in a renovated Art Deco building in Volunteer Park, the Asian art collection places an emphasis on Chinese and Japanese art, but also includes works from Korea, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Himalayas. Among the museum's most notable pieces are the Chinese terra-cotta funerary art, Chinese snuff bottles, and Japanese netsukes (belt decorations). One room is devoted to Japanese ceramics, while three rooms are devoted to Chinese ceramics. The central hall contains stone religious sculptures of South Asia (primarily India). The museums hosts frequent lectures and concerts.
Seattle Downtown-Lake Union Marriott Residence Inn
Right across the street from Lake Union and within a couple blocks of several good waterfront restaurants, this Marriott Residence Inn is a good bet that's slightly removed from the city center. A seven-story atrium floods the hotel's plant-filled lobby court with light, while the sound of a waterfall soothes traffic-weary nerves. All accommodations here are suites, so you get quite a bit more space for your money than you do at downtown hotels. You'll also have a full kitchen, so you can prepare your own meals if you like (though breakfasts are provided). The suites here, though generally quite spacious, don't have much character; they do, however, have phones and TVs in the bedrooms and living rooms. There's no restaurant on the premises, but several options are right across the street, and one of these provides the hotel's room service. Amenities include Wednesday-night guest receptions and a grocery-shopping service.
Moore Hotel
Located in a historic landmark building 2 blocks from both Pike Place Market and the Belltown restaurant and nightlife district, this hotel has benefited from recent room renovations, making it a good choice for young and adventurous travelers on a tight budget. If you've ever traveled through Europe on the cheap, you'll know what to expect from this place. It's not fancy, and if you aren't in a renovated room on a floor with renovated hallways, the place can seem a bit dreary. However, if you request one of the updated suites, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the stylishly modern large rooms with hardwood floors, full kitchens, and big windows. Ask for a room with a view of Puget Sound. The lobby, with its marble, tiles, and decorative moldings, hints at the Moore's historic character, but beyond that, this is more budget accommodation than historic hotel. There's a hip restaurant/lounge on the premises, as well as an adjacent theater that stages rock concerts. If you want to be in the heart of town at budget rates, this is the place.
Red Lion Bellvue Inn
The Bellevue Inn is one of the few hotels in the Seattle area that captures the feel of the Northwest in its design and landscaping. The sprawling two-story property is roofed with cedar-shake shingles, while the grounds are lushly planted with rhododendrons, ferns, azaleas, and fir trees. Guest rooms here are quite sophisticated and upscale, with elegant French Country furnishings and decor, and bathrooms offer plenty of counter space. Note that despite the high rack rates listed below, this hotel usually has rooms for far less -- so it's worth checking, even if you're on a budget.
