A RARE INDULGENCE

Concealed behind a lobby bookcase, Founders Club is a seductive crimson sanctuary, merging 1920s speakeasy allure with modern flair. Its moody glow and quiet power create a warm, refined atmosphere where craftsmanship shines. Specializing in rare, vintage spirits with liquor lockers for storage, it’s a tribute to the captains of industry and everyday Seattleites who invested in this hotel.
