Palihotel Seattle, Seattle, WA

Seattle brings to mind so many wonderful places, tastes, and experiences. But the first image that Seattle conjures is the Palihotel Seattle, which offers charming accommodations with an eclectic mix of vintage decorations and a relaxed attitude.

Located at 107 Pine Street, the Palihotel is just across from the Elliott Bay Waterfront in the Pike Place Market area of town – making it an ideal spot to rest and recharge for a day of activities.

The Palihotel’s relaxed vibe also makes it a good choice for multi-age groups, as its boutique charms will appeal to adults and teenagers alike. Those traveling with kids can amp up the fun by booking them into a bunk room and then getting an adjoining deluxe king room for themselves.

Maybe the Palihotel’s best amenity is the city  of Seattle itself. It’s vibrant with a wide variety of neighborhoods, each offering distinct character and attractions … like the fish-tossing at the famous Pike Place Market.

Seattle is a favorite for foodies, with everything from fresh salmon or oysters at places like Elliott’s Oyster House or The Walrus and the Carpenter to Asian food in the International District to gourmet options in Capitol Hill.

Places like Fremont Brewing and Reuben’s Brews are innovative craft beer makers. Seattle also is live music at places like the Moore Theatre and the Central Saloon in Pioneer Square – venues that have hosted bands like Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, and many more.

Comfort food rules the menu at The Hart and The Hunter, Palihotel’s laid-back Americana diner. Offering crave-worthy dishes for all-day brunch and dinner, the diner doubles as a relaxing spot to enjoy creative cocktails ranging from seasonal specialties to the classics done right.

The Palihotel also is convenient to Seattle’s extensive public transit system, with the nearest light rail station just a few minutes away. When you’re ready to explore and enjoy the Emerald City, consider some of these highlights.
