More information on Headlines

This heritage building was abandoned for years until 1988, when it was turned it into a hotel, restaurant, brewpub, and nightclub all in one. Just by the Johnson Street Bridge, it's now one of Old Town's best-loved buildings. Like any great inn, Swans is small, friendly, and charming. The suites are large, with the quirky layouts you'd expect in a heritage renovation. Many are split level, featuring open lofts and huge exposed beams. All come with fully equipped kitchens, dining areas, living rooms, and queen-size beds. The two-bedroom suites are like little town houses; they're great for families, accommodating up to six comfortably. Want a room with your own totem pole? The 279-sq.-m (3,003-sq.-ft.) penthouse suite comes with fabulous original Pacific Northwest artwork and is the perfect spot for a special occasion. A split-level loft, the penthouse suite has a state-of-the-art kitchen, dining room, and a spacious bedroom with a queen-size sleigh bed. The deck offers city and harbor views, best appreciated from the rooftop hot tub. Facilities: Restaurant; brewpub; limited room service; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
