Executive Hotel Pacific

Seattle Hotel Review

Contributing Editor: Dana Trujillo, Seattle Washington

The historic Executive Pacific Plaza is a European boutique-style hotel nestled in the heart of downtown Seattle. Built in 1928, the hotel’s architectural details and design exude a European charm, offering a taste of old Seattle right in the heart of the city’s financial district. Step into the hotel’s small but quaint lobby and you will find vintage furniture that is cozy enough to linger in – as many guests do – and a bowl of Washington apples to nibble on while chatting with friends or reading a book. There’s also a quaint Seattle’s Best Coffee shop right in the lobby for your morning cup of java. Overall, the Executive Pacific Plaza is an intimate hotel with loads of charm, friendly staff and a full-time concierge.

Having just completed a 4 million dollar renovation, the Executive Pacific Plaza’s 160 rooms are tastefully decorated in a Eurasian style. The newly renovated rooms and suites offer a mix of cherry woods, leather accents, vintage and Northwest artwork, and some stunning vintage tile in many of the bathrooms. The design evokes warmth with modern simplicity and European styling. Electrical and plumbing updates were included in the renovation, so this historic hotel is quite comfortable. Something you won’t find in many hotels these days, you can actually open the windows for a breath of fresh air. Another favorite touch is an umbrella – a must for your stay in the Emerald city. Rooms also feature ceiling fans, 25 inch televisions, cable, in room movies, data port telephones, voicemail, electronic door locks and include hair dryers, irons and ironing boards and complimentary in room coffee and tea.

Step outside the Executive Pacific Plaza Hotel, and you’ll find a great line-up of Seattle’s best shopping, sights and entertainment within walking distance. Walk to the infamous Pike Place Market, Benaroya Hall for the symphony, or the Seattle Public Library, which just opened to rave reviews for it’s contemporary design and technological innovations. A great selection of downtown Seattle restaurants are littered all around the neighborhood, including local favorites Wild Ginger and the Metropolitan Grill. Let’s just say location is one of the Executive Pacific Plaza Hotel’s main draws.

The Executive Pacific Plaza Hotel was one of the first non-smoking hotels in Seattle, so despite the European flair, it is without the lingering smell of cigarettes. The hotel also accepts pets for those who wish to have their furry friends join them.

With a uniquely friendly staff, a cozy atmosphere, and an international group of guests, the Executive Pacific Plaza Hotel is a great place to stay for those with a moderate budget planning a trip to Seattle.
