What used to be the wholly unremarkable downtown Hotel Vance is now making a play for the title of Seattle’s hippest hotel, under a new name: Hotel Max. To that end, it’s had something of a modern-design makeover, and the new look, all brightly colored modern furnishings against dark masculine backgrounds (is slate gray the new off-white?) comes off vaguely Nordic, rather than Northwestern-rustic.
Still, there’s no shortage of local color. Works by Seattle artists, including a collection of Seattle rock photography, adorn the walls of the public spaces, and every guest room’s door is covered in a full-length black-and-white photo print. Inside, the rooms continue in the same vein, a sort of simple-chic aesthetic, with a few flourishes of luxury, including king beds (in the largest rooms) piled high with pillows from a custom menu.
With 163 rooms, Hotel Max is a bit on the large side for a design-happy boutique hotel; in a town like Seattle the design hotels have to pull double duty as business hotels as well. Both audiences end up well served by the Max — though there’s nothing outrageously experimental that would scare away the businessmen, the hotel’s hipster bona fides are most definitely in order.

What I liked:
great location, distinctive style! I'd stayed there once before and been impressed with the ADA room, which delivered once again.
What the hotel could do better:
by chance, they were doing a routine test on the elevator right as we needed to check out; it was nerve wracking to be trapped on the 10th floor for 20 minutes, and we nearly missed our train! I just wish someone had noted an ADA room on that floor and alerted us to the time of required testing early in the day. also, be honest and upfront from the start (the first few calls down to the desk were met with stalling and vague mentions of "maintenance")!
