Get away without going away. Here are real prices* for a special night for two on the town — with a sleepover.
Your room: Pioneer Square Hotel [0]. Circa 1914 — now part of the Best Western chain, with 75 renovated rooms furnished in Victorian style. Art galleries out the door; historic Pioneer Square close by; stadiums an easy walk. $169 for mid-June Saturday.
Dinner: Stroll a few blocks to F.X. McRory's [0]. Steak and fish in the linen-table dining room (or burgers in the sports bar). Prawn cocktail, grilled salmon and top sirloin steak: $58.85.
Breakfast: The hotel offers a free continental breakfast. Or indulge in a Bacon Egg Bolo at the Grand Central Baking Co. [0], $5.75 each.
Before checkout: Cruise the bookshelves at Elliott Bay Book Co. [0]; window-shop along First Avenue.
The damage: $239.35 plus taxes, tip (and whatever you drink).
*Prices may vary by date of stay and date booked. These are current prices found on the Web, by phone or in a recent visit.
