HOTEL MAX

Ever gone to Seattle?  Stayed at a hotel maybe?  Was it Hotel Max?  Well, if your answer was YES than high fiives all around! But if your answer was NO, than all i can say is that you really should have.  Why you ask?  Because Hotel Max is one of the coolest most modern hotels around and in the heart of downtown Seattle, Washington, it beams with uniqueness.  I've stayed at the Hotel Max once during a short trip to Seattle, and no questions, it's definitely the coolest hotel i've ever stayed at!

The Hotel Max is like no other because it provides platform for both emerging and established artists, with more than 350 paintings and photographs from wall to wall all around the hotel.  This hotel is also super unique because it is rested in the building of what used to be The Vance Hotel, built in the 1920's, meaning that the building is super small, with the tiniest elevator and bathrooms, the hotel really gives off the coolest vibe with it's environment.  The interior design style of this hotel would probably be described as modern vintage.  A little bit of an oxymoron, but makes sense with the all the modern touches, like the cool sofas and wallpaper, that contrasts with the super vintage feel of the setup and the bright neon sign that reads "HOTEL MAX".  Something i love about the Hotel Max is that each suite door is decorated with a different photo or painting.  I think this is one of the coolest ideas, and it's something you definitely remember after your stay.  Something i wish they could change?  That truly is a difficult one, but if i could change one thing, it'd probably be the switch of carpet with hardwood in the hotel rooms.  Though the grey carpet does add that vintage feel, i'd much prefer hardwood.  But now that i think of it, do any hotel use anything but carpet?  Maybe it's just a hotel thing.

The lobby at The Hotel Max.

  

One of the many original pieces of art that can be found in the hotel.

A quick pic of the lobby, on the right you can see the super cool front desk, it's pink!

The neon sign that sits at the top of the hotel, such a cool piece.

Just a casual day at The Hotel Max.

"Do not disturb"?  Nope.  Just Nope.

The suite doors inside the hotel, each with a different photo or painting.  Easy way to remember which room your staying in, hey?

The "smaller than normal" bathrooms in The Hotel Max, though i do love the sink&wall color!

The entrance to The Hotel Max.

The inside of a hotel room.  Love the colors used in the room&the bed frame is so modern&chic!

One of the coolest art pieces in the hotel, which sits in the lobby right near the entrance.

I think either of these hardwood floors would look totally awesome in the hotel rooms at The Hotel Max, matching the color scheme of the rooms with the grey look and adding to the modern interior.
