“Affordable housing is the key to a livable city, and many historic buildings across Seattle serve this purpose. Over three decades, the Low Income Housing Institute has invested significantly in the Frye Hotel, which opened in 1911 and now provides affordable homes to 234 families and individuals who might otherwise be priced out of our city or displaced. We are thrilled to recognize LIHI’s vital work with our Outstanding Stewardship Award.” – Kji Kelly, Executive Director, Historic Seattle

I love such stories, thanks for sharing. I really appreciated that. But if you are in a hotel business, you may know that in summer many people prefer to come to the lakeside or seaside and not stay in a hotel, just because they feel a bit uncomfortable in the heat.

Receiving the Frye Hotel Award for Historic Preservation inspires me as a hotel manager. To maintain such a reputation, it is important to consider every detail, including the hotel room signs on the website. They not only help with navigation, but also emphasize the style of the hotel. It is important to choose contrasting colors, appropriate materials and follow strict numbering rules. The right choice of signs enhances the guest experience and helps to maintain uniqueness.
