Seattle Times Best in the PNW People’s Choice Awards

We received a number of accolades for three of our Seattle-based hotels and the Staypineapple brand itself in the first annual Seattle Times Best in the PNW People’s Choice Awards. In total Staypineapple brought home six medals across various categories.

Most notably, The Maxwell Hotel, located in Seattle’s Uptown neighborhood, received three total Gold Medals, being recognized as the Best Hotel in the PNW, Best Family Friendly Getaway in the PNW and Best Pet-Friendly Getaway in the PNW.

Our dog-friendly approach to hospitality did not go unrecognized, as our Downtown Seattle location, Hotel FIVE, also received the Silver Medal in the category. Woof Woof!

In addition, our U-District location, Watertown Hotel, took the Bronze Medal for Best Hotel in the PNW.

“We are so honored and humbled to have received such wonderful recognition in this year’s Best in the PNW awards,” said Dina Belon, Chief Operating Officer at Staypineapple. “Taking the top two positions in the Best Pet-Friendly Getaway category means so much to us, as our pet-friendly services and offerings are at the core of our brand’s identity. And to have The Maxwell Hotel named The Best Hotel in the PNW as well as Watertown named third in the same category, especially in a public voting People’s Choice Award, just reinforces our team’s hard work and commitment to providing the best possible hotel experience to travelers and guests.”

And we’re not done yet! Staypineapple Hotels Inc., our third-party licensing and property management company – known for its management of all 10 Staypineapple hotels across the United States – has received the coveted Best Place to Work in the PNW award!

Here’s how it worked. The Seattle Times 2023 Best in the PNW program was created in a public People’s Choice format. The Seattle Times asked its readers to nominate top people and businesses within Snohomish County, King County and Pierce County that are providing outstanding services and offerings to the community. Top nominated businesses across a number of categories were then opened up to an online public ballot, allowing the people of The PNW region to vote on the best that the PNW has to offer.

This was a true Surprise & Delight for all of us at Staypineapple and we are so very appreciative of those who nominated and voted for us.

Thank you!
