During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Chapel of St. Ignatius
Lest you think subtlety is a concept unknown to architects commissioned to design contemporary buildings in Seattle, pay a visit to this tasteful little chapel on the campus of Seattle University, a Catholic institution. Designed by architect Steven Holl, the chapel was conceived as "seven bottles of light in a stone box," with each of those bottles of light reflecting an aspect of Catholic worship. The "bottles" are basically ways of channeling light into the chapel, and though the exterior seems rather stark and angular, on the inside, soft light in different colors suffuses the rooms. The chapel is something of an exercise in the ways natural light can be used to illuminate a building, and the overall effect is positively enchanting.
Burke Museum
Located at the northwest corner of the University of Washington campus, the Burke Museum features exhibits on the natural and cultural heritage of the Pacific Rim. Permanent exhibits include Life & Times, which covers 500 million years of Washington history (and prehistory) with lots of fossils, including a complete mastodon, on display. The second permanent exhibit, Pacific Voices, focuses on the many cultures of the Pacific Rim and their connections to Washington State. There is also a smaller temporary-exhibit gallery. In front of the museum stand three modern totem poles carved in the style of the 1870s and 1880s.
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.
Watertown
Watertown is one of Seattle's U District entries in the hip-hotel market. Located where it is, only blocks from the University of Washington, this beautifully designed hotel is definitely well placed for a young and hip clientele. If you're into contemporary styling, you'll love it, even if you aren't in town on university business. Platform beds, streamlined built-ins, desks with frosted-glass tops and ergonomic chairs, and huge full-length mirrors are just a few of the interesting features in the guest rooms. Bathrooms are large and have granite countertops; when you see the frosted-glass portal on the door, you might imagine you're on a cruise ship. Guests enjoy a complimentary wine tasting during their stay, as well as access to the pool and hot tub at the nearby University Inn, which is under the same management. Be sure to check out the hotel's "Ala Cart" program, which will send you a Spa Cart, a Movie Cart, or a Surf Cart (for surfing the Internet).
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.
The Westin Seattle
With its distinctive cylindrical towers, the 47-story Westin is the tallest hotel in Seattle and consequently provides the best views of any accommodation in the city. From rooms on the upper floors of the north tower's northwest side, you'll get breathtaking vistas of the Space Needle, Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains. Guest rooms here are some of the nicest in town; by the time you read this, both the north and south towers of the hotel will have undergone extensive renovations, which should make this place an even better bet. Couple those great views (seen through unusual curved walls of glass) with the Westin's plush "Heavenly Beds," and you'll be sleeping on clouds both literally and figuratively. Although the pool here doesn't have the great views that the Sheraton's pool has, keep in mind that few downtown hotels have pools at all -- which makes the Westin a good choice for families. There are also two excellent restaurants.
