Seattle Trendsetter: Hotel Andra
Celebrating Scandinavian Design in the Pacific Northwest
How do you make a splash in a city that oozes culture? Try playing Scandinavian design elements off Pacific Northwest ambiance utilizing two elements central to Seattle’s core: wood and water. What do you get? Iconic fish tanks filled with neon tetras and guest rooms accented in cobalt blues. A contemporary lobby outfitted in sleek, minimalist furniture that includes tangerine Arne Jacobsen chairs, natural wood tables, and high ceilings that show off floor to ceiling wood bookshelves and hanging twin lanterns. Add to the mix alpaca headboards, retro clocks, and FACE Stockholm bath products in all the guest rooms, then top it all off with an avant-garde celebrity chef restaurant that’s turning heads—and you know you’ve arrived at Hotel Andra.
Location, Location, Location!
Located just steps from Pike Place Market on the corner of Fourth and Virginia in Seattle’s chic Belltown district, you’ll discover an abundance of restaurants to satisfy your inner foodie. At the hotel’s bustling restaurant, Lola, chef Tom Douglass serves up re-invented Greek specialities with a distinctly Pacific Northwest flare.
Foodie Hotspot: Lola
Dining beneath suspended neon flames, you can sample modern Mediterranean cuisine comprised of fresh local ingredients. Be sure to try Lola’s spreads. We absolutely loved the Kopanisti Pistachio Mavrodaphne (a base of blue and feta cheeses drizzled with Greek dessert wine, sprinkled with pistachio bits, and served with pita bread). Tom’s Big Breakfast is another must try: a scramble with grilled octopus, diced yams, spinach, and bacon tossed on a bed of yogurt-based sauce and topped with eggs any way you like.
With a cozy lobby that’s ideal for fireside reading by day, and late-night cocktails and conversation by night, Hotel Andra is the place to be for stylish design aficionados and culture mavens when in the Emerald City.
