Motif Seattle

Motif Seattle is a mid-range hotel at 1415 5th Ave in the retail core of downtown Seattle, Washington. The address is steps from Westlake Center, where Link light rail and the monorail to Seattle Center meet, and from the shopping streets and department stores of Pine Street. Pike Place Market is about a 10-minute walk, and the Seattle Art Museum, the Central Library and Benaroya Hall are all close. The hotel is part of the Hyatt-associated Motif brand and presents a contemporary, design-oriented style, with modern public spaces and a lobby set up as a social lounge. Rooms come as King and Queen configurations along with suites, and listed rates run from roughly $180 to $400 per night depending on season. The property has a restaurant for breakfast and dinner, a rooftop bar that gives guests an elevated spot for evening drinks with views over the city, and a fitness centre. The service style is friendly and urban, aimed at business travellers, couples and leisure guests who want a central base without the formality of a large luxury hotel. Because Westlake and the monorail are close, it is an easy hotel to use without a car, including for visitors arriving from the airport by light rail. The area around the hotel is busy during the day with shoppers and office workers, and it quietens after business hours, though the immediate streets remain active in the evenings. Visitors should expect downtown parking charges and should consider the steady hills when walking to the waterfront. Overall, Motif Seattle offers a lively, modern and well-connected stay in the centre of the city at a moderate price.
