Take a step back into the historical side of Seattle’s International District! The Panama Hotel is chock full of history and unique stories. The entry doors open to a small foyer, where a second set of doors greet you with a gorgeous walk upstairs into the hotel. You’ll immediately notice the lighting, soft pink walls, white subway tiles, and dark stairs creating a contrasting and striking visual. Did you know this building is a Historical Landmark? You’ll be immersed in the woodwork, the striking details, and my personal favorite, the charm of an older building that creaks under your steps and holds history. Take advantage of the owner’s passion for the building and listen to her stories. She’ll explain how the architect was years beyond his time; he designed the hotel for glowing natural lighting, airflow through the hallways, and structural design indicating a stairwell or hallway entrance. Believe me, you’re going to appreciate the details in this hotel. And it may take a bit to adjust from our modern fast-paced lifestyle, where we crave entertainment and immediate satisfaction, but the Panama Hotel quietly ushers you to unwind and slow down. There’s something soothing about disconnecting from “the world” and taking a night to unwind next to your partner in the quaint room at the end of the day. I recommend this hotel for its history, charm, caring owner, and experience.
