Palihotel Seattle – Seattle, Green with Coastal Envy
A historic landmark reimagined with Pacific Northwest soul and playful flair
From the Colonnade to the Contemporary
Palihotel Seattle lives in a building with stories to tell. First opened in 1900 as the Colonnade Hotel, this historic landmark stands just steps from Pike Place Market and the waterfront. In its latest chapter, the property trades grand turn-of-the-century formality for an approachable, independent spirit—layering local character over century-old bones. It’s a place that feels both timeless and refreshingly current, anchored in the city’s coastal and cultural heritage.
A Lush Welcome
Green is more than a color here—it’s a mood. In the reception and lounge, deep emerald walls wrap the space in warmth, while honey-tan leather sofas gather around sculptural driftwood coffee tables. The black-and-white checkerboard floor adds a dash of vintage drama, leading guests toward the hotel’s restaurant and coffee bar. There, the palette lightens: whitewashed exposed brick and airy finishes create a sunlit counterpoint to the moody entrance.
Rooms with a Playful Streak
Upstairs, guestrooms balance comfort with unexpected pops of personality. Floral yellow-green headboards bring a soft botanical note, while sunny yellow desks inject cheer. Nautical artwork nods to Seattle’s maritime roots, grounding the design in a sense of place. Select rooms offer sweeping views over Pike Place Market and Elliott Bay—a reminder that you’re at the very heart of the city’s waterfront story.
Where Past Meets Present, Casually
Palihotel Seattle doesn’t try to overwhelm you with grandeur—it invites you in with personality. By blending historic architecture with a layered, color-rich palette and a dash of maritime nostalgia, it creates a space that’s easy to love and hard to leave. It’s as much for curious locals popping in for coffee as it is for travelers wanting a stylish, central base.
