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
