“Form over Functgion”

1/1 found this review helpful

This hotel is a perfect demonstration of the fact that different people value different things. If you love modern, contemporary design and architecture, Asian flair, unique room layout, then you may well love this hotel.

However, if you value function over form, you may be very disappointed.

If you want to call "Service One" (i.e., the concierge button) for a bucket of ice, and don't mind waiting 15 to 30 minutes for your ice, this is your place. If you would rather walk down the hall and have the bucket of ice in 2 or 3 minutes, you will be disappointed.

If you want to walk out and get into your car and drive away, stay elsewhere. If you don't mind $28 per night for parking, plus a valet tip, plus 10 to 30 minute wait to get your car, this place will be fine.

The room is about the same size as any major-chain hotel, but the layout is quite different. The bathroom is much larger, with a separate tub and really nice shower. The toilet is unique: "half flush" and "full flush" buttons (made by Caroma in Australia, http://www.caroma.com.au/index.html). The shower head is a great Kohler unit that supplies a soft, wide, drench.

The bathroom is separated from the bedroom by sliding "screens": open is nearly useless, as the toilet is visible from the bed. Closed is ok, but the bathroom is not really separate from the bedroom, but more like a toilet with a bed sheet for privacy.

This form/function conflict appears numerous places: a wonderful, round, retro clock that goes tick-tock, but uses "glow-in-the-dark" hands that, about 10 minutes after the lights go out, cannot be read. Wake up in the middle of the night and you cannot tell what time it is.

The bedroom has a contemporary work desk, ergonomic chair (entirely out-of-place with its all-plastic construction), tiny round end table, and "chaise" sofa suitable for one person. We had room service dinner one night, and there was no place to simply sit and eat. Tray on the desk, service on the chaise/chair/bed. Very uncomfortable. Oh, and they forgot to give us any type of table napkins with dinner -- we could have called down again, but used face clothes from the bathroom rather than wait for them to bring napkins while our food got cold.

Finally, the "service one" button on the phone gets prompt answering, but very erratic response. I was here with several acquaintances in other rooms, and we all had ice buckets take from 10 minutes to 1 hour, car valet service from 10 minutes to 30 minutes, etc.

Summary: if you value form over function, you may love this place. If not, you may hate it. We're leaving 4 days early for lodging more to our taste.

This is the nicest hotel I have ever stay in.
All the staffs are great and friendly. The room is clean and has great interior! The best part of the hotel is the Whole food market underneath it. It sells all kinds of organic products and yummy cooked food buffet. If I'm going back to Seattle again, this is the choice of hotel again for sure!

“Wonderful Experience - Minimalist Luxury”

1/1 found this review helpful

Due to high season in Seattle we had to stay at two hotels during our recent week there. We first checked into the Westin Seattle for a couple of days and then the Pan Pacific Seattle. (In my opinion the Westin hotel is in desperate need of renovations, although their Fitness Center was nice. It was NOT 4 star, it was tourist class and we were paying high dollar to stay there). Once we checked in at Pan Pacific, we were relieved to find ourselves in a true 4-star hotel. The property is beautifuly decorated, the staff are friendly and attentive, and every detail of the hotel, down to the room amenities, made my family feel truly pampered. There appear to be a handful of hotels in Seattle that offer this level of service (El Goucho, Hotel Andra, Fairmont, to name a few) but because of the Pan Pacific experience we have found our place to call home when we are in Seattle.

“Great hotel located between Space Needle and Pike Street Market”

Pan Pacific Seattle

5 of 5 stars

2/2 found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for two nights after our Alaskan curise. We got off the curise around 8:30 AM and called the hotel to see if we can check in early or leave our luggages with them. Since the hotel was toally booked, we were not able to get into our room until about 3:30. But we left our luggages in the hotel and they were delivered to our room.

The hotel is very nicely decorated with a hint of Asian influence. Our room has partial view of the Lake Union and we could see Space Needle if we stand really close to the window. It had really comfortable bed, linens and pillows. In the closet, it has complimentary umbrella for guests to use during their stay. We were lucky to have nice perfect weathers when we were in Seattle, but I thought it was very thoughtful to provide umbrella for the hotel guests.

The room also had shower with rainshower shower head, a soaking bath tub, bath robes. There was a large sliding door between the bath tub and bed. The sliding door can be opened or closed from both sides. It is perfect for couples.

The hotel is about 15 minutes walk to Pike Street Market and about 10 minutes to the Space Needle. We walked to Pike Street Market every morning to get some coffee, pastry and fruits. Starbucks is right next door and the Whole Food Market is behind the hotel.

The hotel location is perfect for us. We wanted to visit both the Space Needle and Pike Street Market area and we don't mind walking. If we had our kids with us, we would stay closer to the Space Needle. Our kids wouldn't care to visit the Pike Street Market everyday, but definitely would love to spend a few days in the area near the Space Needle. It is convenient and fun to take the the Monorail to Westlake Center Mall, which is not too far from Pike Street Market and all the shopping.
