HOTEL 1000

Hotel 1000 in Madison Tower opened on Monday, June 26, 2006 at 8:45 AM at 1000 First Avenue, on the corner of First and Madison in the heart of Downtown Seattle and just steps from the waterfront and Pioneer Square.  With 120 luxury rooms and 47 magnificent and spacious view residences on the top floors, this is Seattle's leading hotel and residential address.  The hotel and residences are home to BOKA, kitchen and bar, full service spa and fitness center, wine cellar for the residents and BOKA, a dog walking park on the roof (Barkpark), over 6,000 square feet of high tech meeting and banquet space, including an outdoor deck ideal for weddings and other social functions.  The Studio specializing in coffee, wines, and finger foods is for sitting, savoring, and socializing around the fire is also part of the food and beverage offerings, along with 24 hour room service for residents and guest alike.  Perhaps the most unusual component of this new hotel is the Country Club in the lower lobby for serious golfers, not one but two interactive real golf experiences using fullswing.com technology. A residents' library rounds out an extraordinary array of luxury facilities and amenities, the likes of which Seattle has never seen.  Hotel 1000 is being developed with a single-minded focus to be Seattle's finest luxury boutique hotel, and very deserving of being in the elite family of MTM-managed properties.
 

IVY HOTEL

Located on the eastern edge of the historic and lively Gaslamp Quarter, the hotel features 159 remarkable guest rooms, with imaginative interiors and creative bathrooms, designed for form, function and fun.  Leading edge design by Dayna Lee and Ted Berner of the renown interior design firm PowerStrip Studio of Hollywood  differentiates this guestroom from any in San Diego.  Features include custom fixtures, flat panel televisions, generously sized bathrooms with glass enclosed showers and tubs.  Interior spaces incorporate a tone of contemporary, residential luxury.  A yin and yang of modern and classic elements influence the palettes, textures and furnishings throughout the Ivy Hotel. 

The Hotel features three distinctive venues in which to conduct business, dine, drink and relax:

Envy-the four level nightclub offers a sensual and energetic “South Beach” attitude and will immediately be the best Gaslamp entertainment destination for “scenesters” in search of the ultimate adult playground.

The Quarter Kitchen-with 185 seats, and chef Damon Gordon, this street level restaurant showcases true modern, regional cuisine with an accent on rare gourmet products and a core menu of local and fresh ingredients.

Eden Rooftop Bar & Pool-an excellent venue featuring wraparound views of the San Diego skyline to enjoy signature cocktails or a light meal under the San Diego sun or star lit sky.

Meetings and Special Events Ivy features 20,000 square feet of flexible and unique event space.

 

THE LIBERTY HOTEL

The venerable and formerly ominous old Charles Street Jail in Boston has been transformed into The Liberty Hotel, a luxury hotel which opened in summer 2007.  Located next to Massachusetts General Hospital on Charles Street Circle overlooking the Charles River and its Esplanade, the Charles Street Jail originally opened for business in 1851.  It closed in 1991, vacating its cells forever.

Dick Friedman, developer and owner of the elegant and successful Charles Hotel in Harvard Square, put together financing and a project team to build a 275 room tower connecting to the jail building to create the 300 room luxury hotel, the likes of which this country has never seen.  Globally, the only comparable project is the Four Seasons Hotel in Istanbul, which also began its useful life as a jail.

The dark granite Charles Street Jail has been an architectural icon and one of Boston's landmark structures for over a century and a half.  In its reincarnation as The Liberty Hotel, it features spacious, well-appointed guestrooms, four fixture baths, two gourmet restaurants, ample banquets and meeting space, and state of the art technology for business connectivity and entertainment.  Keeping true to its heritage, it will continue to be Boston's "most captivating address".  However, this time in a good way!
