Past Post: Vintage Sea-Tac Hotels

March 14th, 2008 @ 12:13 am by Cliffe | Sorted Past Postborder
And we’re back! My home office is now set up (well, functional at least) so we can get back on track here. The non-stop action continues, as my father flies into town for a weekend trip today. If the new house didn’t have a guest bedroom, he might just be staying at the Holiday Inn Sea-Tac (no, not really) because it’s actually still standing — scope the pictures here. I’m pretty sure the International House is also still around but now known as the Jet Motel. Can anyone confirm? Click on the images for higher-resolution.

    I like how the Holiday Inn makes it seem like the planes take off from their roof.
    I like how the International House really has that international vibe going. It reeks of being international what with its forward-thinking architecture and its exotic accoutrements.

    I concur! Around Chicago we used to have this motel called the Spa Motel and they always had these flags flying around the front courtyard from different countries. Now that was a motel with a true international vibe. Sadly it was torn down and made way for a police station some years back. Blech.

    For some reason I like the wacky, boxy, sixties hotels like the Holiday Inn pictured.
