Design: Hotel 1000: Seattle, Washington

The strategy here was to create an intimate and exclusive, yet casual, Condominium/ Luxury Hotel to serve as a personal amenity for the properties’ affluent residential owners. It also had to attract sophisticated guests seeking something more than traditional luxury accommodations and capture the personalised quality of a contemporary, private residence in both ambience and attitude.

The avant-garde, sophisticated attitude of Hotel 1000 combines the international look of the Pacific Rim with the relaxed and casual lifestyle of the Pacific Northwest. Designed as a stylish urban oasis offering minute attention to every detail and located in the heart of Seattle’s business and museum district, it has been carefully designed and positioned for the discerning business and leisure traveller.

Rich and warm natural materials, a sumptuous array of textures and a colour palate derived from organic dyes, are contrasted against contemporary steel forms, metal sculpture and art glass, giving the Hotel an unexpected, chic edge. Enhancing the entrance is a dramatic sweeping staircase of frosted glass, floating against a softly lit wall of organic plaster relief.

The cosy and sensual studio 1000 serves as the hotel’s semi-private living room, providing guests with an intimate and private sanctuary for lounging, drinks and conversation, all centred on a contemporary steel and concrete open fire pit. The amber glow of adjacent back-lit onyx walls contrast dramatically against rich brown, leather wrapped walls designed to engage the guest’s senses while bathing them in warm, romantic light.

The sumptuous guestrooms feature pedestal tubs for two with panoramic views and dramatic ceiling mounted water fillers. Floating, frosted glass walls surround generous, limestone tiled walk-in showers. Each suite features a built-in cherry wood wardrobe and bar along with 40” LCD screens and the latest in guestroom technology. A stylish raw silk bed throw along with plush velvet pillows accentuates the 400 thread-count bed linens.

Catering to every need, the stunning Hotel 1000 is the ultimate cosmopolitan retreat that combines the comfort of a casual Pacific Northwest home with the understated elegance of a world class luxury Hotel.
