Island Room - at the Tropics Motor Hotel - Seattle
Seattle, Washington, United States
The Tropics Motor Hotel was located in Seattle by the Space Needle.
It was built in 1958-1959 and opened in 1959.
It served as the host hotel for the 1962 World's Fair. It was once the only luxury hotel in downtown Seattle.
The masonry, five-story hotel cost approximately $1,750,000 to erect.
The Island Room had a mix of island decor - including Polynesian as well as Caribbean.
The pool area of the hotel also had a lava rock waterfall feature with clamshells and a tile mosaic of Hawaii's Diamond Head.
Closed some time shortly prior to 1991, when the iconic sign was taken down.
It then became a Quality Inn and Suites, and continues under that name today (as of 2024).
