What to expect: The WestCoast Vance is a rarity: an intimate European-style haven in thoroughly modern Seattle. The quaint lobby showcases 1920s-era decorative elements, including stained and etched-glass windows, marble floors, high ceilings, dark cherry woods, and oil paintings. Quite suitably for a hotel with no conference rooms, the Vance caters primarily to vacationers. Many European visitors prefer it for its Old-World ambience, which reminds them of their hotel experiences when traveling the Continent. Amenity highlights: The distinctive hotel restaurant, the Yakima Grill, is a stunning aesthetic departure from the rest of the hotel. The Southwest-inspired decor features vibrant yellow walls lined with colorful murals, set off nicely by natural wood beams and furniture. The grill serves an eclectic blend of Santa Fe-style cuisine with Northwest ingredients. Insider tip: Fuel up with one of the Yakima Grill's signature breakfasts before heading out for a day of shopping or sightseeing. Diners may choose between American and Santa Fe-style menu items. Favorites include Shrimp Benedict and Yakima French Toast with serrano maple syrup.
