Concierge "This quirky 11-story hotel in the heart of Downtown is so animal-friendly that if you don't come with a pet, you can "adopt" a goldfish for the length of your visit."
Fodor's "Thanks to a massive $5.2-million renovation completed in 2012, the once slightly dated 189-room hotel has sprung back to life with a modern-meets-global look." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Like a moneyed earth mother who trolls Whole Foods for overpriced organics, this 189-room hotel strikes an odd balance between simple elegance and conspicuous glitziness." Full review
DK Eyewitness "What was once a phone company’s switching center is now a sophisticated hotel. All rooms come with a CD stereo."
Rough Guide "Luxurious boutique hotel with designer furnishings, plus a striking lobby, gym and elegant suites with CD players and flat-screen TVs – some with jacuzzis, too."
Star Service "Within walking distance of the waterfront, convention center, Pike Place Market and Seattle Art Museum, this hallmark of Northwest attitude and style is an icon in the city." Full review

Some of the standard rooms are on the small side, so it's best to request one of the larger deluxe rooms.
Gayot "This hotel is anything but drab. Yellow, red and blue jewel-toned accents dominate in the guest rooms, meeting rooms and lobby."
BlackBook "Ceiling prints of fish and coral in the lobby, bright strawberry and cream striped wallpaper in the rooms, leopard print robes for taking intentionally bad Facebook photos."
Zagat4.5
"Guest are "blown away by the red carpet treatment" at this "beautiful" Downtown boutique with "character to spare"."

There is also a small but well-equipped fitness center, and the hotel offers flexible meeting space, but it’s the thoughtful extras that elevate the stay, including free wine hours, free morning coffee, loaner bikes, and even a goldfish on request.

Choose floors 18 and above for the best views, with even-numbered rooms facing Mount Rainier and odd-numbered ones viewing the Puget Sound.
Michelin Guide "Complementing Tacoma's arts focus, Murano is a design hotel displaying a contemporary art collection in the lobby."
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"Opened in 2008, the 319-room Hotel Murano is part luxury boutique hotel, part contemporary art museum located in the center of downtown Tacoma." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler ""For glass lovers, this is the place to go," with each of the "trendy but exquisite" floors of the glass-and-concrete structure dedicated to a different glass artist." Full review

"Situated in downtown Tacoma, Washington, Hotel Murano impresses visitors with its hip, modern decor." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"There's a grand lobby full of dramatic art installations and mini-exhibits of glassworks on each floor. The rooms are also a bit chicer than the typical utilitarian business accommodations" Full review
