The city's best health club (with yoga classes, an ozone pool, squash courts, and state-of-the-art equipment) and a prime Inner Harbour location appeal to savvy business and leisure regulars, including Seattleites stepping off the ferry across the street. Feng shui design elements apply throughout, lending a calm energy to the gleaming marble lobby. Rooms are large and surprisingly quiet, with deep soaker tubs, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a muted decor. Upper-floor rooms have views of the harbor, the Parliament Buildings, or mountains, which you can admire from your private balcony, big enough to sit out on. Pros: Great health club, prime location, balconies and views. Cons: standard hotel decor, markup on local calls.
