Concierge "Hotel Max has secured the honor of hippest hotel in the city, located close to the Fifth Avenue shopping district."
Fodor's "Sassy and art-forward, the Hotel Max (for "Maximalism") blends artsy decor with punchy minimalism for an architect-office effect—though one with cushy trimmings." Full review
Travel + Leisure "You don’t have to love art galleries, vintage-boutique shopping, or indie-rock concerts to enjoy staying at the Max—but it sure helps." Full review
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
Michelin Guide "In the middle of downtown Seattle inside a historic building, the Hotel Max features stylish, contemporary decor with a focus on emerging and established local artists and photographers."
Gayot "This eclectic property features the works of local artists and photographers in each of the 163 rooms, with more than 350 pieces throughout."
BlackBook "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."

"From the turntables and Tivoli radios in the rooms to the free craft beer during happy hour in the lobby, the upscale Hotel Max is distinct and stylish." Full review

"You almost can’t go wrong with the Hyatt at Olive 8, which is known for its exceptionally high customer ratings, environmentally conscious design, and easy, walk-to-everything location." Full review
Star Service "Far from being a tie-dyed Bumpershoot outcast, this green hotel is a sleek mainstream commercial outpost with a cool, contemporary Northwest vibe and an array of facilities." Full review
Gayot "Hyatt at Olive 8 is the first LEED-certified hotel in Seattle --- a city known for its green living."
Zagat4.5
"Conservationists flock to this "beautiful" Downtown "green-chic" chain outpost – the first LEED-certified property in the city, built "with the environment in mind"."
Afar Magazine "Green luxury is the focus at the Hyatt at Olive 8." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "With its vaulted ceiling, blond woods, and supersized steel-and-glass staircase, the lobby at this 346-room Hyatt feels chic and serene." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Encased in a sleek 39-story tower that was completed in 2009, the Olive 8 is managed by the Hyatt chain and is best described as swish, ultra-modern and, above all, green." Full review
Michelin Guide "The lobby and public spaces exude an International Style tautness that leans more toward elegant than cozy. Rooms are pleasantly spare and buttoned-up, but never cold" Full review
