"Thompson Hotels opened the Thompson Seattle hotel in the Pacific Northwest.
Â
Involved in the property development were Seattle-based Olson Kundig, which developed the 12-story hotel’s architectural design to complement its downtown location, and Toronto-based Studio Munge and Redmond, Washington-based Jensen Design Architects which harmonized the surface finishes using exposed steel and concrete with vintage reclaimed wood furniture and fixtures.
Â
Thompson Seattle has two adjoining solid façades joined by a glass lantern structure that merges the inside and the outside. Inside, there are minimalist design elements, including locally sourced artwork, shelving and lighting, paired with mohair textiles and leather.
Â
The property’s 158 midcentury modern-style guestrooms — including eight corner studios and two suites — have views of the Puget Sound and surrounding Olympic Mountains. The rooms have rain showers in the marble-clad bathrooms.
Â
The hotel also has more than 5,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space.
Â
For dining, the property has the Huxley Wallace Collective-operated Scout restaurant and Nest rooftop bar and lounge, complete with firepits and accommodating up to 250 guests."
