The old Lorraine Hotel in my neighborhood of Belltown in Seattle has been turned in to the City Hostel Seattle. The new owner has beautifully restored and renovated the building, including inviting over 40 artists to come in and paint each of the rooms however they want. In addition to the artwork painted directly on the walls (floors and ceilings), the lobby and hallways are a gallery space for local artists to sell their work.
Below are photos of the artwork from opening night of the City Hostel Seattle. Enjoy!

Hi, Allison!
This is such an amazing idea. I want this to happen in Asheville! And I know where I’m going to stay if I ever make it out to Seattle for a visit…
I’m really enjoying your blog thus far; it really is making me want to visit, and when I do, I’ll know all the great, fun places to go thanks to you! (Like that cupcake place – YUM).
