Another downtown option, W’s motto is Whatever/Whenever, ensuring guests’ needs are fully realised. The funky, clubby property has 424 bedrooms, spread across 26 floors. The design here is bold and geared toward trendy younger guests seeking a vibrant place to stay (definitely the place to come if you do want to indulge in Seattle’s nightlife). W has its own in-house soundproofed recording studio, hosts DJs, live bands and hip-hop yoga. Do check out the property’s enormous record collection, the backdrop to its lobby performance area. W’s restaurant and bar, Trace has won design awards and serves international delicacies. Rooms are rock-star worthy, with US-brand Bliss’ toiletries, and the hotel also has a super high tech gym as well as a spa.
