Unconventional Luxury Dwellings

The W Seattle by Skylab Architecture Pushes Design Boundaries

The W Seattle by Skylab Architecture strays from the traditional luxury hotel design. The future-friendly interior features an unconventional concept embracing modern architectural elements and an abundance of ornament. Playing with scale, architect Jeff Kovel and his team infused this space with a mix of nostalgic and futuristic focal points.

Staying true to the exclusive W Hotel aesthetic, the firm aimed to capture Seattle's trademarks with its dynamic design. From the monorail to the space needle, the W Seattle by Skylab Architecture shines a light on a myriad of design elements that make the city famous.

From stacked pillars and aircraft cabin inspired viewing docks to a Native American tribute sculpture, this alluring interior is unlike any luxe hotel in North America.
