Experts' Choice Award Hotel Max
What the experts agree on
Belltown boutique hotel where local art rules—350+ pieces, photo-covered doors, and grunge-era Seattle vibes throughout. Rooms are small but stylish, with a craft beer happy hour experts love.
“Local art above your bed, teak wood desks, mirrored walls. Each floor is dedicated to a different local photographer, and black and white photos cover each door.”

DK Eyewitness "Formerly the Vance, this hip boutique hotel features original artwork by local artists. Located in the heart of downtown."
Rough Guide "Located in a renovated 1920s building a block from the monorail, a stylish hotel whose smallish rooms are kitted out with vaguely aesthetic themes – with original art in each room."
Star Service "In a convenient but slightly out-of-center location for business and leisure...this boutique-style hotel has been doing swimmingly, especially among the business traveler crowd." Full review
