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."

"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.

If you can snag a reservation, dinner at the nearby Herbfarm restaurant is a must—book ahead as it can fill up fast.
Travel + Leisure "The 84 rooms are subtly done in salvaged timber and antique slate, and outfitted with Frette linens, fireplaces, and giant Jacuzzis for two." Full review
Star Service "In the Sammamish River Valley, this establishment is the only hotel in the region to rival the superb Bellevue Club, and its dining is just as good, if not better." Full review
Michelin Guide "Combining elegance and rusticity, The Willows is situated amid five acres of lush gardens in the Sammamish Valley near Seattle, and at the heart of Western Washington's wine country."

"The upscale Willows Lodge is a beautiful, 84-room resort in Woodinville Wine Country." Full review
Gayot "Located on Seattle's east side (meaning east of Lake Washington), surrounded by the wineries of the Woodinville Wine Country, this small, understated lodge is a true escape from the city."
Forbes Travel Guide "Set among the wineries of Woodinville, east of Seattle, Willows Lodge pairs luxury with Northwest rusticity." Full review
Michelin Guide "Willows Lodge’s location, on the eastern edge of the Seattle suburbs (not far from Microsoft’s hometown of Redmond) makes it an obvious choice for tech-industry corporate retreats" Full review
