The rare new hotel that isn't a utilitarian business tower, Palihotel is an understated boutique (part of a small, but expanding, chain) whose early-20th-century 'forest green walls and overstuffed leather chairs' aesthetic is as chic as it is cozy. Although the theme is antique, the building's remodel ensures 21st-century luxuries like air-conditioning and rain showers.
Rooms tend to be on the small side, and you'll get some street noise, but it's a small price to pay considering the hotel is located two blocks from Pike Place Market, among other Seattle highlights.
