The Crown Tower Hotel

One historic Royal Heights building still around is the Crown Tower Hotel, an Emerald City landmark for nearly a century. Built in the 1920s, the art deco style hotel was the largest of its kind in the city, offering the most luxurious stays in the Pacific Northwest. Although it went through a fallow period during the mid-20th century when its elegant stylings were consider passé, the Crown Tower underwent renovation and restoration in the 1990s (aided by local Emerald City tech money) that has brought it back to its former glory and prestige.
Among the hotel’s many fine features include the beautiful bronze and marble lobby with flanking grand staircases up to the second floor ballrooms, a full-service spa, and two restaurants (three, if you count the Arcadia Coffee Roasters kiosk off the lobby): Neptune’s is a fine seafood restaurant located on the north-facing side of the hotel’s ground floor while the Emerald Crown sits atop the building, a revolving restaurant with a commanding view of Emerald City, to say nothing of the view of the city’s rich and famous dining at the nearby tables.
