Hotel Murano

Hotel Murano is the default downtown base for a Tacoma visit, and the one hotel in the city whose identity is tied to the thing Tacoma is known for: the building is organised around a collection of contemporary studio glass, with work installed on the guest floors as well as in the public spaces. Its position on Broadway is the practical argument, though — the Theater District, Pacific Avenue's museums, the Broadway restaurants and the T Line are all within a short flat walk, so a car is optional once you have arrived. Check-in runs from 3pm and check-out is 11am, self-parking is charged nightly, and the hotel publishes ADA-compliant guest rooms. If you are planning a museum-heavy weekend on foot, this is the address that removes the most driving from the itinerary.

Editor's tips

• Walk the guest floors — each one is hung with a different artist's work, so the collection is not confined to the lobby.
• Skip the car for downtown days: the Theater District, the museums and the T Line are all within walking distance.
