End the fall with a trip to swanky Seattle. Credit: Seattle Municipal Archives. <\/p><\/div>\n

By Maria Mora<\/em><\/p>\n

In early fall, Seattle attracts vacationers seeking refreshingly cool temperatures and some of the world\u2019s best seasonal seafood. For those in warmer climates \u2014 like me \u2014 the thought of balmy days and brisk nights at\u00a0Seattle hotels<\/a> is absolutely intoxicating. In addition to its iconic ferries, eclectic music venues and crave-worthy restaurants, Seattle sports some of the best boutique hotels and trendy hotel destinations. Here are four super-chic\u00a0hotels in downtown Seattle<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hyatt at Olive 8<\/strong><\/a>
\nThe\u00a0Hyatt at Olive 8 is the first LEED-certified hotel<\/strong> in Seattle. What does this mean? Basically the hotel has taken serious steps to conserve water and energy. Olive 8 goes a step further by providing guests with eco-friendly dining and spa amenities. This sleek Hyatt property doesn\u2019t sacrifice style to be Earth-friendly. The hotel features modern design elements and memorable touches like an extensive indoor pool and a wine and coffee bar. For a truly unique experience, book the Presidential Suite and indulge in a bathroom so upscale it has a flat screen television built into the vanity mirror.<\/p>\n

Sorrento Hotel Seattle<\/a><\/strong>
\nAt first glance, this doesn\u2019t appear to be one of the trendy Seattle hotels. In fact, it opened in 1909. So what makes this hotel stylish? The retro-chic atmosphere.The Sorrento Hotel is well-known for attracting celebrities and artists \u2014 as well as medical professionals visiting the nearby hospitals. Named one of Conde Nast Traveler\u2019s Top 25 Hotels<\/strong>, the Sorrento has incredibly ornate guest rooms that feel comfortable, not stuffy. Stay here for artistic inspiration or just to feel like you\u2019ve stepped back to a simpler, more charming time. Call ahead to find out about scheduled block parties and readings by local writers.<\/p>\n

Hotel Max<\/a><\/strong>
\nDubbed the \u201cmost artistic of all the\u00a0downtown Seattle hotels<\/a>,\u201d Hotel Max lives up to its name through careful design details and original art pieces throughout the hotel. There\u2019s nothing uptight about the art here. Look for bright canvases, splashes of color, and thoughtfully restrained d\u00e9cor. No matter what your design ideals are, you can\u2019t help but feel like you\u2019re part of something very cool when you stay in this hotel. The property\u2019s main restaurant,\u00a0Red Fin<\/strong>, was voted\u00a0Best of Citysearch in 2007<\/strong>. If you think sushi is all about fish, let the amazing Angus steak roll prove you wrong.<\/p>\n

The W Hotel Seattle<\/a><\/strong>
\nThe W feels a little like moving into someone\u2019s extremely stylish home. Nothing about the interior feels \u201chotel-ish.\u201d Even the lobby has been renamed The Living Room. The Spectacular Rooms, appropriately named, feature dizzying views of Seattle and framed black-and-white art. The Wow Suite \u2014 all two stories of it \u2014 is decorated like an upscale residence. Soak in the Jacuzzi, enjoy the plasma screen TV or just gaze out the floor-to-ceiling windows. At W, even if you\u2019re not staying in a suite, you\u2019ll get swept up in the swanky atmosphere. When the sun goes down, the\u00a0W Bar<\/strong> heats up with special guest DJs and local talent.<\/p>\n
