Written by

The Maxwell Hotel is located in the heart of Seattle just a block from the Space Needle and Seattle Center, and takes their city seriously.  The hotel engages in environmentally friendly business practices, uses environmentally conscious cleaning products and offers their guests an in-home recycling program. Traditional herringbone patterns come alive with The Maxwell's artistic touch

The Maxwell Hotel is also not afraid to embrace very colorful décor. Division 9’s design and installation experts helped their lively herringbone floor come to life with carefully-considered colors and layout. As the flooring suggests, and in true Seattle character, the atmosphere is fun and the service is excellent. They’re a pet friendly hotel and offer dog beds, pet bowls, treats and doggie bags. The hotel also offers free shuttle service to the Seattle Center, Pike Place Market and Woodland Park Zoo. They offer their guests a work out room, swimming pool and complimentary bicycle checkouts.

The Maxwell Hotel embraces art and the Seattle art community. They offer a Glass Blowing package from Seattle Glass Blowing Studio for those interested. The Chihuly Garden and Glass Blowing Museum is a short walk away at The Seattle Center, and the Seattle Opera House is within walking distance. If you like, you can walk over to The Seattle Center, have a bite to eat at The Space Needle and maybe see a show at Key Arena. You can also hop the monorail over to Westlake Park and walk to the Pike Place Market from there, or take advantage of the Maxwell Hotel’s shuttle service.

Built in 2010 and owned and operated locally by Pineapple Hospitality, a company based just outside of Seattle in Bellevue, The Maxwell Hotel has received Trip Advisor’s Certificate of Excellence in 2012, 2013 and 2014.  At Division 9 Flooring, we value our partnership with the Maxwell Hotel and are extremely proud of the work we’ve done in the hotel.
