Hotel 1000 LXR Hotels & Resorts

Hotel 1000 sits at the corner of First Avenue and Madison Street, close enough to Pike Place Market, the Seattle waterfront, and the Seattle Art Museum to reach all three on foot. Built in 2016 as a design hotel, it holds 120 rooms across 14 floors, with 24-hour reception at the door. Guests who want a downtown base with the extras done properly will find them: a spa with massage and sauna, a gym, a bar and restaurant, and a business center with a conference hall, the combination that earned Hotel 1000 a spot on Travel + Leisure's Top 500 Hotels in the World and the title of Seattle's Best Business Hotel. What separates it from other downtown properties is a sports simulator, the only Topgolf Swing Suite in Seattle, tucked among more expected comforts like Nespresso machines and bathrobes in the rooms. Deluxe rooms run from around 390 to 527 square feet, and accessible rooms include roll-in showers and lowered fixtures for wheelchair users. Staff speak English and Spanish, pets are welcome for a daily fee, and check-in is at 4pm with checkout at 11am, backed by a $100-per-day deposit held against damage. This suits travelers who want to be near the water and the museums without giving up the amenities of a full-service property, and business visitors who need a conference room within walking distance of dinner. It is less suited to anyone chasing a beach-resort pool scene or wanting distance from downtown traffic. Few hotels this central manage to fit a golf simulator, a spa, and ADA-compliant suites under one roof without feeling like they are trying too hard. Hotel 1000 puts business travelers and museum-goers within two blocks of the Seattle waterfront, backed by a spa, a conference hall, and Seattle's only Topgolf Swing Suite. Rooms run from compact 390-square-foot doubles to water-view suites. It works less well for anyone wanting resort sprawl over downtown convenience.
