City Hostel Seattle: Let There Be ART!!

Often, in a rush of excitement and pure enthusiasm, people can create unrealistically high expectations that unintentionally leave a wake of disappointment.

Only rarely, graced by that proverbial blue moon, do high expectations fall so far short of the sublime reality, that we cannot help but become heralds of that infectious excitement and enthusiasm ourselves. I am delighted to say that I was lucky enough to enjoy just such an experience this week.
 

Last month, I ran into a friend, Lee Kindall, who is the Visionary behind the City Hostel Seattle.  He was in the process of putting on the finishing touches to his new business venture, a true labor of love, which he described in heroic detail as a local, cultural experience, that would unite Seattle art and community.  He implored me to visit the Belltown Artwalk on September 11, for the experience of a lifetime. Big words.
 

What I found was an exceptionally vibrant space, humming with energy, defined by the imagination and herculean efforts of Lee, along with a team of artists, investors, and community advocates.  Empowered with seemingly limitless energy and unyielding inspiration, Lee has challenged the conventional and pushed the limits of expectation, to create a traveler's mecca, alive with art, music, and poetry.

The hostel is truly a destination unlike any other in the world.  It is the only one to integrate exclusively local artists, with each room painstakingly personalized, without constraint.  The result is a montage of styles and genres both within each customized room, and in the public spaces of the grand building.
 

The photos above were taken on my iPhone, without flash of course, but give a basic idea of the artistic diversity presented throughout the hostel. With over 40 artists, there is something for everyone. Visit the website to view a virtual tour of the rooms.

For a truly unique Seattle experience, send your guests to City Hostel Seattle, right in the heart of the city, and turn your guestroom into an office.
