PB hotel design editorial

At 1531 Seventh Avenue in downtown Seattle, the building that became Hotel Theodore has carried the city's commercial ambitions since it opened in 1930 as the Sixth Avenue Inn — a mid-rise property whose stripped classical facade still anchors its block with the kind of quiet authority that most modern construction cannot manufacture. The 2016 renovation, led by design firm Simeone Deary, reframed the 160-room property around the Pacific Northwest's tradition of natural materials and civic pride, naming the hotel after Theodore Roosevelt in deference to his role in preserving the American wilderness. Rooms are grounded in a palette of slate blue, warm amber, and cognac leather, with upholstered headboards in deep charcoal lacquered panels rising nearly to the ceiling and striped wool-blend carpet running throughout in navy and ochre. Paisley draperies in soft teal add a residential note that keeps the rooms from feeling purely curated. The ground-floor restaurant presents a different register entirely — subway tile columns, exposed ductwork overhead, brass-ringed globe pendants, and fat rounds of firewood stacked against the walls combine to evoke a mid-century urban brasserie with Pacific industrial undertones. The bar, separated from the dining room by a low brass-edged partition, wraps a dark stone counter against a full brick wall, plaid-upholstered bar stools pulled up to a brass base that catches the backlit spirits shelf above — a space that belongs to Seattle's working waterfront as much as to the hotel itself.

"Clean and cozy. The checkin process was great. I received a text to checkin on me due to a late check which was nice. Staff was friendly and the room was clean"

"No service of any kind! No valet! No room service! No customer service! No housekeeping! No one answers the phone. Could only get through to the restaurant who said they would ask the front desk to call us.. no one did! And no drawers anywhere! And we had a deluxe room! Poor water pressure from all faucets. Had a reservation for our return leg to Seattle. We cancelled."

"Location is great. You can walk to all the major to the tourist spots from here. The rooms themselves are pretty small. The biggest downside is that there is absolutely no insulation in between the walls. And so you can hear everyone’s conversation next-door. The First Night. I had to listen to the couple next-door. Have sex and everyone’s conversation in the hallway. I’m usually not a light sleeper and have no issues. Falling asleep but the loud noise. Every time people open their doors and had conversations outside. My door was extremely distracting and prevented me from getting good sleep. The bed and bathroom was cleaned out every day, which I really appreciated. There was fresh tiles weeding every single day, which I also appreciated. The parking range is very high and suggest people park in the next-door parking structure, or use advance reservation applications on their phone to reserve parking. The front desk staff was pretty easy. And nice when I checked in and checked out. No complaints there. The elevator is pretty small and looks like those old vintage elevators that had a attendance. Aesthetically the hotel is cute, but I don’t know that I would stay there again because of the noise issue."
