Art-filled accommodations in downtown Seattle
The Hotel Max combines art and stylish boutique comfort, all within walking distance of Seattle's most famous attractions. Almost 400 works by 39 Seattle artists and photographers decorate rooms and public spaces. The Hotel Max takes advantage of its art niche to occasionally offer packages and deals tied to exhibits at the nearby Seattle Art Museum. The Hotel Max's restaurant, Redfin, focuses on Japanese specialties and serves breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner.
Highlights
  • Art work by local artists and photographers on display in the lobby, hallways and guest rooms
  • Aveda-brand bathroom amenities
  • Close to well-known Seattle restaurants, including Wild Ginger
  • Pet friendly (fees apply)
Rooms

Not surprisingly, each room at the Hotel Max sports an arty title. Solo art has a double bed and teak desk. Art of two beds rooms boast two double beds. Queen of art rooms sport a queen bed and artist king has king-size beds. Soothing tones of sage, charcoal gray and vegetal oranges decorate each room. All rooms have high thread-count linens and duvets, robes, coffee makers with Organa coffee and Steven Smith tea, Aveda bath amenities, a menu of pillow choices and a menu of spiritual inspiration suitable for almost any belief system. 

Features

An art-filled lobby, guest rooms and hallways underscore the Hotel Max's dedication to art and Seattle-area artists and photographers. If the point is to create a serene environment, the Hotel Max follows up admirably with rooms done in calming hues. In-room tea accompanies in-room coffee and a spiritual menu promises inspiration for almost any faith or belief system. A whimsical "you got it" button on the telephone links guests with hotel services.

It was sufficient

The staff was very friendly. No parking, except $30/day, which is a little excessive. Room was clean, but very small, and the shower was the smallest I've ever seen!

Mixed Feelings

Hotel is in a great location. Single Queen rooms are tiny and the bath even smaller with the sink over the toilet. They should upgrade their toilet paper. For $200/night it should be better than what gas stations use.

Don't pay the hotel $12/day for internet, get a room that faces the Starbucks across the intersection.

Small and funky

This was a good place to stay for a sight-seeing, weekend trip to Seattle. It's in a good location for walking to points of interest (and loans big umbrellas for when you still want to walk, but it's raining!). The decor and featured artwork is creative, unique and adds to the aesthetic of the hotel. I appreciated having one-of-a-kind artwork in the bedroom as well. The room was tiny and the bathroom was the size of a matchbox, so it's not ideal for more than two people (if that). No bathtub either! Overall, it's a great place to stay for a short trip where you want to get a sense of Seattle culture, but not a place where you can really spread out.

Dining tip: In Hotel

The restaurent is 'asian-fusion' but it offers a good 'western-style' breakfast if you don't want to venture far. Not cheap, but not too expensive (around $12-15).

Downtown dapper

Great location to access downtown shopping and, not that far from the warf about a 5 min. walk (down hill there but uphill back) The hotel has an awesome look and is a trendy place to stay, if your 40 and under. I would definitly stay again. The combination of dark and bright rich colors are what makes this place cool for me. They also have a pillow menu, which was an added bonus since my girlfriend loves soft pillows and I like them firmer. The Red Fin resturuant next door leaves abit to be desired. There menu is fairly priced, but you better have a taste for next years food styles. Overall awesome experince.

Fun and Funky!

I highly recommend staying at Hotel Max. The location is fairly central, with lots of shopping nearby and within walking distance to the market. You can also take a shuttle to and from the airport that drops you off at The Westin, which is just a block away. There are lots of places to eat nearby as well. The room and bathroom were on the small side, but adequate for having a place to sleep and shower. I loved the local art work on the doors to the rooms. This makes the hotel very unique to Seattle. The decor is very modern and unlike any hotel I've stayed in. Also, the elevators are secure and you have to have your room key to get upstairs. Since it's downtown, it is nice to feel safe. The hotel staff was very friendly, nice and helpful. I do not have any complaints about my stay.

Great Location- Good Experience

Great location, sleek, clean hotel. Very comfortable bed. Artsy and unique. The concierge was mostly helpful, but for first time visitors to Seattle, it felt a bit like we had to search for information about the city. Our check-in experience was a little disappointing as the desk person seemed aloof and uninterested in giving us restaurant tips.

Great location and customer service

Really nice location, right in downtown Seattle. The room is clean, and the bed is comfortable. They offered 4 types of pillows. The bathroom is small though. Accessible from Airport to Hotel via Sound Transit for $2.50. Close to many shopping malls.
