Motif finishes $10M upgrade

Motif Seattle, a Destination Hotel located downtown at 1415 Fifth Ave., has completed a $10 million redesign of its 319 guestrooms and corridors.

Seattle-based Degen & Degen designed the makeover in what the hotel said is “a sleek urban style distinctive to the city.” Digney York & Associates was the contractor.

Natural woods from the Pacific Northwest were used with rich colors and bold accents, as well as new lighting and high-end finishes. Each room has a “rainy day corner” where guests can outdoor gear.

Local artists were commissioned to create works for the guestrooms. In one piece, edges of albums were woven together to create abstract art. The hotel's corridors now feature large-scale photo abstractions of local landmarks.

The hotel has a Visiting Artist Program. Every year, the hotel works with a local artist to create a new motif, which is used in hotel stationery, guest amenities and key cards.

Motif Seattle also houses the restaurant Frolik Kitchen + Cocktails, as well as a fitness center and 22,000 square feet of meeting space.

Destination Hotels is a collection of independent upscale hotels and resorts in the U.S. and Caribbean.
