Hotel Ballard
In the heart of historic Ballard, this chic boutique hotel features a modern take on baroque style, with gilded mirrors and sumptuous carpeting and furnishings in every room. Even the outdoor chairs are ornately whimsical. If you can, splurge for one of the spacious fifth-floor courtyard suites, which include a fireplace, marble bathrooms with a walk-in shower and deep soaking tub, and a small outdoor space. The hotel's rooftop has an outdoor fireplace and offers sweeping views of Ballard and the Olympic Mountains. Guests get free access to the top-notch Olympic Athletic Club.
