The Edgewater, a Noble House Hotel, Seattle

Walking alongside the Seattle Waterfront, we had to visit the famous Edgewater hotel. It was built for the Trade Fair in 1962 and is one of the historical landmarks of the city. The hotel is constructed with natural stones and wood. Everywhere you find open fire places. We are sure this is comfortable during the cold winters.

From the restaurant you have excellent views on the bay. This hotel is a kind of a celebrity magnet, a few examples of people who stayed here: the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, David Bowie, REM, Bill Clinton and a lot more. Needless to say that the hotel is rather expensive. On Booking.com all rates were above 500$ a night. We stayed in a cheaper hotel but were shocked how expensive Seattle hotels were in general.

Wandelend op de Seattle Waterfront, besloten we een bezoekje te brengen aan het beroemde Edgewater hotel. Het werd gebouwd voor de wereldhandelsbeurs in 1962 en is historisch erfgoed van de stad. Het hotel is opgebouwd in natuursteen en hout. Overal zijn er open haarden, wat tijdens de harde winters wel heel aangenaam moet zijn. 

Van in het restaurant heb je een prachtig zicht op de baai. Het hotel trekt heel veel beroemdheden aan, enkele voorbeelden van mensen die hier verbleven: de Rolling Stones, de Beattles, David Bowie, REM, Bill Clinton en nog veel meer. Je kan je wel inbeelden dat het hier niet goedkoop is. Op Booking.com waren alle tarieven per nacht boven de 500$. we kozen echter een goedkoper hotel maar waren toch verbaast hoe duur overnachten in Seattle is.

    I suspect that eating there would be very expensive too - I understand that Seattle is a nice place to visit.

    Not wrapped in the interior, certainly don't care for the bits of limbs of a tree perched up the pole etc.
    There must be something excellent about it to have people stay in it - maybe the rooms are lovely and the meals excellent.

    it look very grand indeed, but 500$ per night is way above what I am prepared to pay.

    Een beetje boven mijn budget vrees ik maar als je er kan verblijven zou ik ook niet weigeren, een prachtige bestemming.
