However, it’s the perfect Seattle hotel for a relaxing and refined evening with a glass of bubbles. It also tends to be a spot for business travelers and you’ll likely be amid a wedding party (the post-reception parties have a tendency to hit the bar area, which can make it rather crowded and loud) if you’re staying on a Saturday night during popular knot-tying months./p
