Originally opened in 1909, this iconic hotel in the First Hill neighborhood has evolved from a gateway for gold prospectors into a central hub for visitors exploring downtown Seattle. As you pass through the Italian Renaissance entryway and enter the mahogany-walled welcome area, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. While the 76-room hotel has been continuously updated to meet contemporary standards, it retains its original heritage details, such as carved wood moldings and vintage furnishings in guest rooms. Contemporary amenities like Nespresso coffee makers in rooms, marble bathrooms, and a 24-hour fitness center ensure you have every comfort, while touches of old-school glamor, like the cozy lobby bar, The Fireside Room, serve as a reminder of the hotel's storied past. | | | | |  | | Keyonna Beach | | Turner's Beach, Johnson's Point, Antigua & Barbuda | | Romance here doesn't need rose petals—it's baked into the breeze, the view, and the fact that nearly every cottage has its own stretch of sand and a double Bali bed with your name on it. Keyonna Beach is an adults-only, couples-focused hideout perched on Antigua's Turner's Beach, where the vintage Caribbean mood runs deep: four-poster beds, breezy open-air showers, and oceanfront cottages made for staying horizontal. Most have plunge pools and outdoor decks, the kind of setup where you can watch the sky do its sunset thing with no audience but each other. There are no TVs and no crowds, just custom-stocked minibars, a single beachfront restaurant dishing out proper Caribbean fare, and service that never oversteps. Farm-to-table means you'll taste what's growing nearby, and snorkeling at Cades Bay or a hike up Boggy Peak brings a local angle to your lazy-day lineup. It's moody, unplugged, and quietly seductive—the kind of place where couples don't just reconnect, they reboot. | | | | | | Travel + Leisure is part of the People Inc. publishing family. | | | | |
