The Thompson Hotel has been a hot spot among tourists and locals alike since it opened early in the summer of 2016. Designed by the famed local Olson Kundig architects, the boutique hotel is sleek and modern, and offers expansive views of Puget Sound. The rooms have a cozy blue-and-white color scheme with minimalist furniture and comfy beds.
Its restaurant, Scout, specializes in Pacific Northwest cuisine by local restaurateur Josh Henderson, and a rooftop bar called the Nest offers a perfect place to enjoy artisanal cocktails high above the city, looking out onto the water.
