SEATTLE – June 9, 2014 – Today, Destination Hotels, a leading collection of luxury and upscale independent hotels, is celebrating the one-year anniversary of Motif Seattle, one of the newest properties in its collection. Inspired by Seattle’s burgeoning fashion, music and arts scenes, Motif Seattle draws upon the area’s rich history, innovative and entrepreneurial spirit, and avant-garde taste in the arts, creating a guest experience woven from the heart of Seattle.

“This has been an incredible year of transformation for us. Our Seattle community has truly welcomed Motif with open arms,” said Max Roth, Director of Sales and Marketing for the hotel. “We have enjoyed building lifelong relationships, curating genuine partnerships and delivering authentically Seattle experiences to our local and international communities with each and every encounter.” 

Infusing art with unrivaled hospitality, Motif Seattle is committed to working closely with local designers to create distinctive experiences throughout the hotel. In celebration of the hotel’s passion for the Seattle community, featured designer, Jordan Christianson of Jonquil & Mr Black, has created an exclusive pattern incorporating geometrical takes on the beloved and unique Seattle cityscape.  

 “After having experienced the organic and neighborly way this hotel appeals to guests and locals alike, I was inspired to incorporate the city’s landmarks and icons in to this new motif,” says Christianson. “It is just another way for visitors to absorb all that this beautiful region has to offer.”  

The latest motif will be revealed live on stage at Seattle Fashion Week, June 11 – 13 at Emerald City Trapeze Arts, 2702 6^th Avenue South, Seattle WA. The pattern will be infused throughout the property, including adornments on hotel staff attire, branded collateral and on-premise artwork.
