We both prefer boutique hotels with charm and personality, as well as good food, and Vintage Park fits the bill: the decor is warm and rich; in the fall and winter months, there is always a fire going in the small lobby, which is so welcoming when you've been outside on a wet, cold, Seattle November day; The restaurant on the street level, Tulio's (see separate review) has wonderful food, a convivial atmosphere, and is extremely popular with the locals.
