Panama Hotel is a beautiful place to stay if your concept of beauty includes historical significance and things that were built to be beautiful and to last (which ours does).
My husband and I had never explored the International District of Seattle before and the Panama Hotel was a great base from which to do so. Tons of great restaurants within walking distance, plus plaques and artwork with historical information, and to top it all off walking through the community garden right across the street from the hotel were all highlights.
Highly recommend staying with Jan at the hotel if you’re in Seattle.
