Alexis Hotel
The Alexis Hotel is located in an historic downtown Seattle building in the West Edge neighborhood of the region. Originally an office building, a 1980 renovation converted it into a hotel. Kimpton Hotels purchased and took over the property in 1982 and then in 1996 purchased the bordering Arlington Building. Currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the boutique hotel features 121 guestrooms and suites. A $10 million dollar renovation in 2007 produced an art rich urban refuge. Designed in earth tones and touches of metal, rooms at the Alexis Hotel are filled with contemporary lighting, original art and Rococo influences. In 2014 The Alexis Hotel received a Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor and in 2012 & 2013 Conde Nast Traveler Reader's Choice Awards named Alexis one of the "Best Hotels in the Pacific Northwest ". The Alexis Hotel is one of three Kimpton Hotels in the Seattle area.
