Some of the best reviews from members have been about the Kimpton Hotels. Academic Ambassadors have been thrilled with the Serrano in San Francisco, the Topaz and Rouge in DC, the Burnham in Chicago, the Vintage Plaza and 5th Avenue Suites in Portland, Oregon and the Monacos in Denver and Salt Lake City. This is the group that is usually given the credit for inventing the modern boutique hotel bringing style and service together in dramatic downtown settings.

This is a long way of explaining why I have now chosen the Hotel Vintage Park to be Academic Ambassadors, Seattle partner.

Like its siblings elsewhere (check them out also under locations), the Vintage Park, is richly appointed and superbly well located. There's a fine Tuscan restaurant within, Tulio's, and many more within blocks. Also in walking distance is Pike's Market, the Seattle Art Museum and the Convention Center.

Taking the sybaritic Tuscan theme to a wonderful extreme, there is a complimentary wine tasting each evening. Sipping Northwestern varietals in an Italian villa downtown Seattle—sometimes work is just grand.
