A Sweet Deal On A Sleepover In Seattle

Minimoon, romantic getaway or whatever—here’s a sweet deal we’ve found on a romantic boutique hotel in Seattle.

TRAVEL ADVISORY | Married in a quiet ceremony over the holidays, our good friends B&C are just back from a “minimoon” in Seattle. “We want to go to Europe on a honeymoon but it’s cold there right now, so Seattle’s our stopgap,” says B. “We’ll take a longer trip this spring,” says his partner.

Even in the off-season, Seattle hotels never seem that cheap, but B&C did manage to find a great deal on an elegant little boutique hotel right downtown.

Sailing On The Mayflower

Right now and through April 30, the Mayflower Park Hotel, one of our favourite (if usually pricey) sleepover spots in Seattle, is offering its classic guest room for $155 a night. This price includes a full American breakfast for two at Andaluca, the awesome restaurant attached to the hotel, plus free valet parking. After taxes this comes to approximately $180 a night, not bad at all for a romantic stay at a luxury hotel in Seattle.—Ruth Rainey
