Built in 1996, this moderately priced boutique hotel is a block from The Paramount Theatre, within yards of prime shopping (the flagship Nordstrom store, FAO Schwartz), and just 3 blocks from the convention center.
Wireless high-speed Internet access allows guests to log on anywhere in the hotel, and a 24-hour fitness center lets them work out anytime, day or night.
For a fun diversion, walk 3 blocks to Westlake Center and take a mile ride on the monorail (built in 1962 for the World's Fair) to the Seattle Center, home of the Space Needle.
