Location is essential when you are spending a weekend in Downtown Seattle for entertainment, shopping, and sightseeing. And I’m happy to recommend Hotel \u00c4ndra<\/strong>, a charming, stylish boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Seattle that offers great comfort, incredible convenience, and excellent service.<\/p>\n

They also have this unbeatable Free Parking Package, available year-round (as blackout dates may apply),\u00a0including overnight valet parking ($43\/night value).\u00a0 Once I handed my car key to the valet staff, I did not have to use the car for the next 48 hours as my destinations were either within walking distance or a cheap uber ride away. It is truly an amazing bonus while staying at\u00a0Hotel \u00c4ndra. The package also include Complimentary WiFi and\u00a0\u00a024 Hour Access to Fitness and Business Center.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my trips during the weekend.
\nwalking to Pike Place Market<\/a>: 7 minutes,
\nwalking to Norstrom Downtown<\/a>: 6 minutes,
\nuber to Great Hall at Union Station<\/strong> for Seattle Wine & Food Experience<\/a>: 10 minutes + $6 USD
\nwalking to Bell Harbor International Conference Center<\/strong> for\u00a0Seattle Wine & Food Experience<\/a>: 12 minutes
\nwalking to dinner + drinks at Deep Dive<\/a> inside\u00a0Amazon Spheres<\/a>: 5 minute<\/p>\n

But of course, if you really need to use your vehicle during the day, the valet staff will have it ready quickly.<\/p>\n

Okay, time to check out the\u00a0\u00c4ndra Superia Room. The room is 400+ square feet for the double queen option, including a very spacious sitting area, a granite counter bar, an 8-ft desk area and 37\u2033 LCD TV with 59 HD <\/span>channels.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would highly recommend to request for room with city views, which really makes a difference in the morning when you enjoy a cup of coffee made in your room.<\/p>\n

For food and drink, you will find two award-winning eateries on the premises.<\/p>\n

Assaggio Ristorante<\/a> is a winner of The Wine Spectator “Award of Excellence”, with all the wines hand-selected by Owner\/chef Mauro Golmarvi. The chef has created a flavourful and authentic menu offering bold, robust central and northern Italian cuisine. Assaggio is also known for its warm welcoming atmosphere. I would love to check it out when I stay at the hotel.<\/p>\n

I did, however, sneak in a lunch visit at Lola<\/a>, voted one of the Best Restaurants for Brunch by Gayot in 2020<\/a>. The restaurant is run by renowned chef and author Tom Douglas, featuring fresh local produce of the Pacific Northwest mingled with cooking styles of Greece and the Mediterranean. You will find Anderson Valley lamb, Penn Cove shellfish and wild King salmon on the menu.<\/p>\n

I had to try the Lola lamb burger and it was incredibly delicious. Please see my full review of Lola<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The bar at Lola is one of the popular spots for drinks in the area in the evening. The food at Lola is also available for room service daily.<\/p>\n

Final thought<\/h3>\n

Located in downtown Seattle, Hotel Andra is a sophisticated boutique hotel that has a lot to offer.\u00a0 The proximity to iconic Seattle attractions such as Pike Place Market and Amazon Spheres is excellent. It is also just a couple of blocks away from the bustling retail core for visitors who love to shop. As the name suggests, the hotel will give you a taste of Scandinavian hospitality but infused with many Pacific Northwest elements for a modern urban experience with comfort.\u00a0 The Free Parking Package is quite a bonus compared to most of the high end and boutique hotels in downtown Seattle. For foodies, Tom Douglas’ Lola restaurant will seduce you with their modern Mediterranean cuisine with local Pacific Northwest flavours, and so will the neighboring Assaggio Ristorante with a charming, authentic Northern Italian menu.<\/p>\n
