The Maxwell Hotel, a whimsical art-inspired hotel located at the base of Queen Anne hill adjacent to the Seattle Center and the world-famous Space Needle, has been named one of the Top 10 Trendiest Hotels in the U.S. on the 2011 TripAdvisor® Travelers’ Choice awards list. The Maxwell has strong ties to Seattle’s arts community with its close proximity to Seattle’s top destinations including the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, the Seattle Opera, and the Pacific Northwest Ballet. This all makes The Maxwell a prime location for both leisure and business travelers. The hotel has 139 guestrooms, an indoor pool, an exercise facility, an espresso bar, 1,600 square feet of meeting space and 3,000 square feet of ground floor retail space. A hand-tiled pineapple mosaic honors the international symbol of hospitality and welcomes guests as they “meet at the pineapple.”
The TripAdvisor® Travelers’ Choice® awards are based from the reviews, opinions and advice from travelers around the world. The Maxwell is a “4 star hotel at 3 star prices,” according to a TripAdvisor® user from London. “I really loved this hotel, the look, feel and the people. I would not hesitate in recommending this place to everyone, and I am certainly going to be staying here again!”
The family- and pet-friendly Maxwell, which opened in March of 2010, features 139 guestrooms, an indoor pool, complimentary bike rental program, a fitness center, complimentary wireless Internet, a 24-hour Pineapple Espresso Bar, 90 complimentary DVDs available for checkout and eco-friendly in-room recycling. The hotel also offers 1,600 square feet of meeting space with SMART Board technology, including a boardroom, a conference room and a pre-function area.
The Maxwell is steps away from Seattle’s most notable attractions including the Space Needle, the Experience Music Project, the Seattle Repertory Theater and Teatro Zinzanni. Decorated with bright colors, original art and unique services, The Maxwell’s brand of pineapple hospitality keeps guests happy and comfortable. “Had a great time at the Pineapple!” shares a TripAdvisor® user from Vancouver, B.C. “I enjoyed pretty much everything about the Maxwell Hotel. From the friendly, courteous staff at check-in, to the clean, nicely decorated rooms. Everything was fantastic!”

Sounds wonderful!
Looks like a place I would enjoy staying. Will check it out next time in the area.
I stayed there during the holidays and will be doing a feature on it in my Seattle Travel Examiner site, with a slideshow. It's a great option for when you want to take in events at Seattle Center and hang out in the Queen Anne area. Or just not be downtown.
It seems to be in a great location, besides being swanky.
Just booked....I did a lot of searching, reading reviews and this place had me! I can't wait! I'm heading to a conference there at the end of June! It will be my first visit to Washington State!
Got something to say?
