Don't fret, business travelers—Seattle has plenty of places to erase your brains after mind-numbing conventions and meetings, perhaps even in your own hotel. Seattle locals enjoy hotel bars for upscale drinks and rotating cast of characters that is hard to get tired of. The Alexis Hotel's Bookstore Bar has a true Seattle feel, complete with coffee, books for sale and a great microbrew selection. The Sheraton in downtown Seattle has a cozy little hangout—Gallery Bar—off the lobby that serves premium liquors and upscale bar food in an atmosphere ideal for meeting new people. Those staying at the Mayflower Park Hotel can attest to the classic feel of Oliver's, located inside the hotel. The martini's here are legendary and the staff is incredibly accommodating. All of these options have made Seattle a favorite among business travelers who enjoy using the night to unwind.
Bookstore Bar (at the Alexis Hotel)
1009 First Avenue, Seattle, Washington; Tel. 206.382.1506
The classy, upscale Bookstore Bar in Seattle caters to a dressed up after work crowd and guests from the Alexis Hotel that crowd in for their premium drinks, cigar encouraging and providing atmosphere, an excellent wine selection and some way above average pubbish food provided by the Alexis' Library Bistro. The Bookstore Bar is a great Seattle local bar to relax with a drink and have a little intimate conversation in their plush, dimly lit confines. If you're stuck with only your already known self for company, the books lining the walls are provided for your perusing pleasure and if you have to leave at a particularly juicy portion...well, they don't call it the Bookstore Bar for nothing because you can purchase that literary masterpiece that kept you enthralled over one of the best gourmet burgers in Seattle. |
Gallery Bar at the Sheraton Hotel
1400 6th Ave., Seattle, Washington; Tel. 206.387.5585
The Gallery Bar is a cozy little space off the Seattle Sheraton Hotel's main lobby that has ambiance for days. The service at the Gallery Bar is as distinctive and sophisticated as their premium liquor selection drawing travelers, biz pros and hipsters into their comfy confines. For food options, the Gallery Bar serves stylish, but homey choices that far surpasses any hotel bar food that we've tried and being in the business of writing; we've tried a lot. |
Oliver's
405 Olive Way, Seattle, Washington; Tel. 206.382.6995
Oliver's lounge, located in Seattle's Mayflower Park Hotel, is an elegant retreat for martini and nosh lovers seeking a welcomed respite from the hustle of the city. Oliver's is simply a classic, old school appointments give this Seattle bar an inherent coolness and the staff has to be one of the most friendly, courteous and professional around. The menu at Oliver's is bar fare, but totally classy upscale bar fare served sophisticatedly at their intimate café tables. The drinks are equally as excellent, if not more so, as the food at this decadent Seattle hotel bar. |
W Seattle Hotel Bar
1112 4th Ave., Seattle, Washington; Tel. 206.264.6000
This swank and sophisticated hotspot in Seattle for the beautiful set, W pours ultra-premium cocktails and serves appetizers and entrees that rival the chicness of the décor. The see and be seen trendy crowds start packing into W Hotel Bar straight from the office to this Seattle bar and lounge's luxurious confines that usually holds them rapt in a sea of swank all night long. Insiders at W don't even look at the bar menu for a nosh, instead waving their manicured hands for the full menu that is available from the hotel's award winning restaurant, Earth and Ocean. |
