During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Washington Park Arboretum
Acres of trees and shrubs stretch from the far side of Capitol Hill all the way to the Montlake Cut (a canal connecting Lake Washington to Lake Union). Within the 230-acre arboretum are 5,000 varieties of plants and quiet trails that are pleasant throughout the year but become most beautiful in spring, when the azaleas, cherry trees, rhododendrons, and dogwoods are all in bloom. The north end of the arboretum, a marshland that is home to ducks and herons, is popular with bird-watchers as well as kayakers and canoeists. A boardwalk with views across Lake Washington meanders along the waterside in this area (though noise from the adjacent freeway detracts considerably from the experience).
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.
The Seattle Aquarium
Although it's not nearly as large and impressive as the Monterey Bay Aquarium or the Oregon Coast Aquarium, is still quite enjoyable and presents well-designed exhibits dealing with the water worlds of the Puget Sound region. The star attractions here are the playful river otters and the sea otters, as well as the giant octopus. There's also an underwater viewing dome from which you get a fish's-eye view of life beneath the waves, and each September you can watch salmon return up a fish ladder to spawn. Of course, there are also plenty of small tanks that allow you to familiarize yourself with the many fish of the Northwest, a beautiful coral-reef tank, and several smaller tanks that exhibit fish from distant waters. Life on the Edge focuses on tide-pool life along Washington's Pacific Ocean and Puget Sound shores, while Life of a Drifter highlights jellyfish.
Red Lion Seattle Airport
Located almost directly across from the airport's main entrance, this hotel provides comfortable accommodations designed for business travelers. Guest rooms are generally quite large -- if you need space, this is the place. The hotel backs onto a small lake, but only a few rooms have lake views; try to get one of these.
Alexis Hotel
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this century-old building is a sparkling gem in an enviable location halfway between Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square and only 3 blocks from the waterfront, the Seattle Art Museum, and Benaroya Hall. In the middle of the lobby is a massive Dale Chihuly chandelier, and throughout the hotel is an extensive art collection. The cheerful, personalized service and the pleasant mix of contemporary and antique furnishings give the Alexis a very special atmosphere. In the guest rooms, classic styling with a European flavor prevails. Almost half of the rooms here are suites, including very comfortable fireplace suites with whirlpool baths. In the John Lennon Suite, you'll find lithographs by Lennon, while the Miles Davis Suite contains serigraphs by the famous jazz musician. The spa suites are the real winners, offering whirlpool tubs in exceedingly luxurious bathrooms. The hotel also has complimentary evening wine tastings.
W Seattle
The W hotel chain has won plenty of national attention and devoted fans for its oh-so-hip accommodations, and here in the land of espresso and high-tech, the W is a natural. The lobby has the look and feel of a stage set, with dramatic lighting and sleek furniture, and in the evenings the space transforms into a trendy lounge where Seattleites and visitors come to see and be seen. Rooms are not only beautifully designed and filled with plush amenities, but also tend to be larger than those at other W hotels. They're full of great perks, such as Aveda bath products, goose-down comforters, and CD players (there's a CD library from which you can borrow discs). Although the -09 and -02 "Cool Corner" rooms cost a bit more than regular units, they are worth requesting. The Earth & Ocean restaurant is one of downtown's best and is by far its most stylish. The W also has an extensive array of amenities for your dog or cat, if yours happens to be traveling with you. Definitely the coolest hotel in Seattle.
