If you’ve come to our city to spend in exce$$ and contribute heavily to our local economy.. we thank you. Read below for what you should focus on. Oh – a word of advice to the financially substantial: leave the stretch limos and Hummers for LA or Las Vegas. This city is a town car/ cab / bus / light rail kind of town. If I see you running around in a stretch Hummer, well lets just not let that happen. Look for my post under transportation for an excellent town car service to get you around.

Fairmont Olympic Hotel. Old school delux lovely. High Tea. If you prefer your sleep to happen within close proximity to Gucci, Louis Vuitton and your other precious Couture… this is the place for you. Ladies, well shall I say moneyed ladies, you’ll want to check out Jeri Rice and Luly Yang immediately after dropping off your bags.

The brand new Four Seasons Hotel @ the Pike Place Market – forget the Ritz Carlton – the Four Seasons brand is THE leader in luxury (and we got one!). The infinity pool looking over the Puget Sound is saWeeet! If you venture outside this comfy bubble of prosperity, cross 1st Avenue on Union to the SAM (Seattle Art Museum) and one of my favorite restaurants, UNION. 1st & Union, get it? The Pike Place Market is steps away as well as the Seattle waterfront – which you can reach by using the hotel’s matching stairs. Toodles!

The Sorrento Hotel. Charming, distanced just far enough from downtown and with a boutique feel (even though their website is cheese). Downtown adjacent I like to call it. This is the place for people who know how to spend their money smart and like a little grit with their lux. Let the new and old money lay their coifed heads downtown…… this place is our happy little secret.
