🗺️ Seattle is officially on the Michelin map

Seattle is on the Michelin Guide map for the first time

Michelin’s rating system may be best known in the culinary world for its restaurant stars, but its newly released Michelin Key awards tackle a different tourism + hospitality industry giant — hotels.

Three hotels in the Seattle area have finally put the Emerald City on the Michelin map (we have yet to earn a Michelin Star of our own). Each of the hotels earn one out of three possible keys.

Here’s what the French tire company had to say about the crème de la crème of Seattle’s local lodgings.

🔑 Hotel 1000

This hotel is recognized for its woodsy, natural decor — something that distinguishes it from the usual modern and industrialist vibe expected in a downtown hotel. Features include a rainfall faucet for the bath, Molton Brown’s luxury bath products, and a spa.

Hotel 1000’s cozy and clean interior design is underpinned by high-tech embellishments. From infrared sensors alerting housekeepers for turn-down to home-theater sound systems, the behind-the-scenes enhancements ensure a cushy visitor experience.
The Lodge's structure is comprised of sand-colored stone and brick, boxy windows, and archways framing the entryway and lower floor windows. Large trees surround the expansive green lawn the building is situated on.

In 1977, the St. Edward Seminary building and the majority of the land were sold to the State of Washington to become St. Edward State Park.

🔑 The Lodge at St. Edward State Park

Embedded in 300 acres of lakeside forest, The Lodge offers a getaway from busy city life with easy access the greater Seattle area.

The hotel was designed by notable local architect John Graham Sr. in 1931, a historical landmark that once served as a seminary for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle.

Now, rooms are decorated with architectural blueprint-inspired murals, nature photography, and views of the surrounding park’s green space. Miles of trails in the area make for the perfect escape for bikers, hikers, or just nature enthusiasts.
And last, but certainly not least...

    From the editor
    I’ve been reading “Nightb*tch” by Rachel Yoder in anticipation of its film adaptation starring Amy Adams
    (coming out this December). A feral and surreal portraiture of a stay-at-home mom, this book finally gives motherhood tropes some teeth.
