Architectural design firm HKS Inc. have recently completed the new hotel W Bellevue, that’s located just outside of Seattle, Washington, and was designed to be a modern lodge oasis, inspired by the region’s iconic setting beside Lake Washington.

This modern hotel has artistic check-in desks and a mural on the wall.
A large Living Room (or lobby) has been designed as an open space with exposed A-frame beams that line the ceiling. Deep and comfortable sofas and lounge chairs are mixed with blue plush pillows creating texture and warmth in the room. The bar is defined by a dark surround, and hidden lighting shows off the artwork.
