best shopping, world-class dining, art museums and exceptional nightlife, the edgy but chic boutique hotel
offers travelers a base for urban adventures that mix art with style.

guest rooms are Jackie Barnett, Andrée Carter, Jay Backstrand, Junko Yamamoto and Pam Baker.
Upstairs, each of the ten guestroom floors at Hotel Max features the work of a different Seattle
photographer. Images from artists like John Armstrong and Roniq Bartanen adorn the exterior of all 163
guestroom doors in the form of oversize photographic overlays. One of the most iconic collections in the
hotel can be found on the 5th floor which features the works of Charles Peterson, the photographer who
documented Seattle’s grunge era music scene. Here, guests will find larger than life images of Nirvana,
Pearl Jam, Mudhoney and others forever rocking out in the corridors of Hotel Max.

PROVENANCE HOTELS’ NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION: FREE WI-FI IN 2015
Art-filled lifestyle hotels in Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Nashville and New Orleans will
Eliminate Wi-Fi Fees for Overnight Guests on January 1, 2015.
Portland, Ore., Dec. 29, 2014 – With the New Year just around the corner, Provenance Hotels
has resolved to make working remotely and keeping in touch even easier – and less expensive –
in 2015 by eliminating Wi-Fi fees for overnight guests at Hotel Max in Seattle, Hotel Murano in
Tacoma, Portland’s Hotel Lucia, Hotel deLuxe and Sentinel, and Hotel Preston in Nashville.
Over the course of the past year, Provenance Hotels has invested hundreds of thousands of
dollars in upgrading the Wi-Fi experience at the company’s hotels with fiber optic internet to
increase bandwidth, speed and capacity. On January 1, 2015, the company will cease charging
for Wi-Fi at all its hotels so interfacing with the office and surfing the web from the comfort of a
Provenance Hotels guest room will not only be fast and efficient – it will be free, too.
“Internet access is an essential amenity and we’ve long been focused on providing the fastest,
most reliable service available to our guests,” said Bashar Wali, President of Provenance Hotels.
“Making it available free of charge is the natural next step in our commitment to keeping
travelers who stay at our hotels connected.”
Seattle’s Hotel 1000, which already provides guests with free Wi-Fi, joined the Provenance
Hotels family in July 2014. Wi-Fi will also be free at the company’s Old No. 77 Hotel &
Chandlery, which is slated to open in the heart of New Orleans’ Arts District in spring 2015.

SEATTLE’S ART-OBSESSED HOTEL MAX GOES POP
Warhol, Koons, Ramos and Baldessari works on display in hotel lobby;
“Go Pop” getaway package includes tickets to Seattle Art Museum’s Pop Departures exhibition.
October 6, 2014 – SEATTLE, Wash. – On Oct. 9, 2014, the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) will debut “Pop
Departures,” an exhibition including boundary-pushing works by iconic Pop artists from the 1960s as
well as works by subsequent generations of artists from the 1980s and today for whom Pop art was an
inspiration. In keeping with the referential spirit of Pop itself, Hotel Max, Seattle’s home away from
home for art lovers and boundary pushers, has transformed its lobby into a Pop art gallery displaying
original works by the very same Pop masters featured in the museum exhibition including one of the
most iconic images in Pop, “Campbell’s Soup Can I – Vegetable (F&S 48),” a serigraph from 1968, by the
artist most synonymous with the genre, Andy Warhol.
In addition to the famous soup can, Hotel Max’s lobby features one of Andy Warhol’s “Flowers” from
1964 and several more recent works by world-renowned Pop artists featured in the SAM show,
including “Money (With Space Between),” a 13 color lithograph screen print by from 1994 by John
Baldessari; “Balloon Dog (Blue),” a limited edition fine porcelain plate by Jeff Koons from 2003; and “Five
Flavored Fannie” a 2006 color lithograph by Mel Ramos. All five works will be on display through January
11, 2015 when the SAM “Pop Departures” show closes.
For travelers who want the ultimate Seattle Pop departure, Hotel Max has partnered with SAM and
Miller’s Guild, the hotel’s much-heralded new restaurant, to offer a “Go Pop” getaway package that
pairs an artful stay in the heart of downtown with tickets to the exhibition and playful craft cocktails
with a Warhol-worthy twist. Package guests will stay overnight at Hotel Max and receive two tickets to
the SAM “Pop Departures” exhibition, a $25 gift certificate to the SAM gift shop, a 2 p.m. late checkout
and two All Tomorrow’s Parties cocktails at Miller’s Guild.
Developed especially for the “Go Pop” package, the All Tomorrow’s Parties is a nod to a song from the
Velvet Underground, the house band at Andy Warhol’s famed factory. Turning craft cocktails into
performance art and giving guests who order it the 15 minutes of fame Warhol predicted, this banana
daiquiri made with house aged Agricole rhum was inspired by Warhol’s cover art for the Velvet
Underground’s debut album, “The Velvet Underground and Nico.” When it is served, the restaurant’s
bartenders – in a nod to Warhol’s obsession with instant photography – take a keepsake Polaroid of the
guests as they serve the drink and give it to them. The All Tomorrow’s Parties cocktail at Miller’s Guild is
priced at $14 and will be featured on the bar menu for the duration of the “Pop Departures” exhibition.
Information on the pop up Pop Art show at Hotel Max can be found at www.hotelmaxseattle.com/pop.
The “Go Pop” package at Hotel Max is bookable now for stays starting October 9, 2014 through January
11, 2015 and is priced from $189 per night, plus tax. To book, call 866-986-8087 or visit

PROVENANCE HOTELS REV UP GREEN TRAVEL WITH ZIPCAR AND TESLA
Guests in Portland, Seattle and Tacoma save on car sharing and charge electric cars for free.
November 11, 2014 – Portland, Ore. – Provenance Hotels, with six locations in Washington and Oregon,

Provenance Hotels’ art-filled hotels are conveniently located downtown within steps of each city’s light
rail routes, making them the perfect getaways for those who want to go car free. When guests who are
Zipcar members need or want to venture further, Zipcar, the world’s leading car sharing network, is a
cost-effective and sustainable membership based option for exploring with plenty of vehicles
conveniently parked close to hotels. To incentivize guests to try car sharing by becoming new Zipcar
members, Zipcar and Provenance Hotels have partnered to offer $50 in free driving credit when
travelers sign up for Zipcar’s Occasional Driving Plan or a Monthly Rate Plan of $6/month. Guests who
are already Zipcar members can enjoy $15 in free driving. For more information please visit,

Two new Zipcars – a BMW X1 and a Cadillac ATS – have checked in at Hotel deLuxe. Parked in the hotel’s
lot, they are available for Zipcar members to use 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Reservations can be
made easily and quickly via the Zipcar app on members’ smartphones, online or by phone. Zipcar
discounts for guests of Provenance Hotels can be accessed through the hotels’ websites and links
included in guest reservation confirmations. Guests signing up for Zipcar must apply online for

partnered with Tesla, the world leader in electric vehicle technology, to install two Tesla high power
connectors and one standard electric vehicle charger in each of the parking garages at Hotel Max in
Seattle, Hotel Murano in Tacoma and Hotel deLuxe in Portland. These EV and Tesla charging stations are

HOTEL MAX AND SUB POP RECORDS PARTNER TO CREATE A
ROCK ‘N ROLL ESCAPE IN DOWNTOWN SEATTLE
June 10, 2013 – SEATTLE, Wash. – Hotel Max, downtown Seattle’s home away from home for musicians,
art lovers and the creatively inclined, has partnered with the city’s most influential independent record
label, Sub Pop Records, to upgrade all 19 guest rooms on the hotel’s 5th floor. Each room has been
equipped with Sub Pop band posters, turntables, label-curated vinyl records, and Sub Pop music videos
on the in-room televisions. Timed to coincide with Sub Pop’s 25th anniversary this summer, Hotel Max’s
launch of this new permanent Sub Pop floor celebrates the label that broke the city’s signature sound in
the 90’s and has since nurtured the diverse Pacific Northwest scene that keeps music-obsessed travelers
flocking to Seattle.
The guest room corridors at Hotel Max all feature large-scale black and white images from different
Seattle photographers. The hotel’s 5th floor is a natural home for this project as it showcases work by
Charles Peterson, whose camera captured the raw passion and power of Seattle’s music scene in the
late 80’s and 90’s and whose photographs helped define the early Sub Pop aesthetic on the label’s
record covers for Nirvana and Mudhoney. Installation of the Sub Pop floor at Hotel Max extends the
experience that begins with these corridor photos into the guest rooms by highlighting the evolution of
Seattle’s most notorious record label and sharing current Sub Pop releases with guests of Hotel Max.
Each guest room on the Sub Pop floor now features framed poster art from bands on the label’s current
catalog. The posters are accompanied by a museum-like card with a QR code that enables guests to use
their smart phone to visit the label’s website and order posters and music online. With posters from
artists like Mogwai, Iron and Wine, Wolf Parade, Fleet Foxes and more, guests can ‘sleep with’ and get
to know a different band every time they visit Hotel Max.
All guest rooms on the Sub Pop floor have also been equipped with Crosley record players and a
selection of vinyl records curated by Sup Pop for guests to play during their stay. The first installation
includes records by The Shins, METZ, Father John Misty, Flight of the Conchords and more. Sub Pop will
periodically update this in-room record collection with new releases, giving guests at Hotel Max a
unique experience each time they visit.
Also new, guest room televisions on the Sub Pop floor and in all 163 rooms in the hotel now feature a
Sub Pop TV channel available only in Hotel Max that broadcasts current and classic Sub Pop music videos
pulled from the label’s archives. With favorites by artists like Band of Horses, Beach House and The Head
and The Heart, it is a musical experience available nowhere else in the world.
Rooms are now available on the Sub Pop floor at Hotel Max and guests can book online at
www.hotelmaxseattle.com. Room assignments are based on availability; blackout dates may apply.

Menu + Grill
The Miller’s Guild menu is built on its nine-foot-long, custom-made, wood-fired grill. Featuring 75day dry-aged beef, locally caught seafood, nose-to-tail butchery, and rustic baked goods, Chef
Jason Wilson’s menu celebrates the flavors that can only come from cooking over a roaring fire.
The oak barrels above the bar contain the building blocks for the Miller’s Guild bar program:
cask-finished spirits. Wood informs every part of the menu in both bold and subtle ways.
Butchery
Whole-animal butchery is the cornerstone of the menu at Miller’s Guild. The 16-foot-long butcher
block in front of the wood-fired grill, and in full view of the dining room, serves as the butcher
counter. Chef Jason’s team will break down Heritage breed livestock into traditional cuts for the
grill, meat for sausage and charcuterie, and bones for stock.
Beef
Miller’s Guild chefs know that the best beef takes on a richer, more intense flavor and a singular
texture through dry aging. Aging beef for an exceptionally long time, 75 days, creates the perfect
complement to the flavors created by the wood-fired cooking.
1
Baking
Rustic baked goods at Miller’s Guild are thoughtfully executed American and European classics.
The aim of the baking program is substance and soul, rather than surface beauty.
Bar
The liquor program at Miller's Guild is built on the spirits aging in the 50-liter oak casks racked
above the bar. These "Miller's Guild-Finished" spirits provide a unique jumping off point for
cocktails inspired by the classics. Oak-finished gin, for example, takes on more roundness and
complexity and makes a gin-martini like none other.
Wine
The wine program focuses on handmade wines from the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Every
wine represents exceptional quality in its own right, and exceptional value, regardless of its price.
There are six wines on draught, custom-made for Miller’s Guild, which represent not only great
value, but also a reduced environmental impact.
Design + Seating
With careful thought paid to every detail, Miller’s Guild has achieved a warm, ruggedly handsome
look that incorporates architectural artifacts from the previous tenants with a unique design
inspired by the history of the space. Many of the furnishings and features were created for the
restaurant by local carpenters, metalworkers, masons and upholsterers.
Dining Room: 40
Bar: 26
Butcher Counter: 10
Outdoor: 20
History
Miller’s Guild is located in the former Vance Hotel, now Hotel Max, built in 1926 by Joseph Vance,
to house workers and craftspeople that moved to the area to work at the Vance Lumber
Company.
Catering + Events
Catering is available on-site in Hotel Max’s meeting rooms and industrious event space for up to
100 guests standing reception, 75 guests seated. Off-site catering also available.
Parking
Valet parking is available at the adjacent Hotel Max. Metered street parking, pay surface lots and
parking garages are also available in the area.

Seattle hotel launches free daily craft beer hour highlighting local brews.
October 28, 2013 – Seattle, Wash. – Seattle regularly tops critics and beer lovers’ lists of the nation’s
best craft beer destinations and, in celebration of the city’s beer bounty, Hotel Max, Seattle’s home

age. During the inaugural craft beer hour, Hotel Max is partnering with Elysian Brewing Company but tap
selections will change regularly to showcase the wide variety of delicious brews made in Seattle.
Showcasing the work of iconic local photographers on each floor, Hotel Max is known for partnering
with like-minded, independent companies in Seattle. This love for all things local is evident on the 5th
floor where Hotel Max has collaborated with the city’s most influential independent record label, Sub
Pop Records, to outfit every guest room with Sub Pop band posters, turntables, label-curated vinyl
records, and Sub Pop music videos on the in-room televisions. Given Hotel Max’s Sub Pop connection,

inclined will spin 90’s-inspired sets while Miller’s Guild, the hotel’s new restaurant, serves up tempting
snacks and creative cocktails featuring the city’s best craft distillers.
Hotel Max is known for its love for all things local and Superfuzz, like the free daily craft beer hour and
Sub Pop records in the fifth floor guestrooms, is an example of the hotel’s dedication to local culture.
The event takes its name from Superfuzz Bigmuff, Mudhoney’s 1988 debut EP on Sup Pop. The album
was named after two of the band's favorite guitar effects pedals: the Univox Super-Fuzz and the ElectroHarmonix Big Muff. These helped provide the band's iconic ‘dirty’ sound. That unforgettable raw sound
became the signature of Seattle’s grunge scene, during Superfuzz at Hotel Max, DJs will use it as a
jumping off point for musical mashups. Those slated to play during Superfuzz in April and May include:
DJ Triple9, Bamboo Beats, DJ Marc Sense and Joey Roxville.
During the first month of Superfuzz, Miller’s Guild will be serving up tempting creations made with sprits
from Seattle craft distillery Sun Liquor. Sips will include The Silver Fox, a combination of Sun Liquor
vodka, Cocchi Americano, pear and fennel shrub, lemon and grapefruit bitters ; The Superfuzz Superfizz
made with Sun Liquor Hedgetrimmer gin, Boylan’s Orange Soda and lime juice; and the Rummy Tub
which features Sun Liquor rum, Cocchi Americano, Amargo Valet, Scrappy’s Lemon Bitters, Angostura
Bitters and a brandied cherry. All three cocktails will be priced at $7 in April and available only during
Superfuzz in the hotel’s lobby. In future months, Miller’s Guild will feature spirits from other distilleries
in cocktails created especially for Superfuzz. Miller’s Guild will also offer affordably priced bites during
Superfuzz that include Homemade Pretzel with Beer Cheese ($7), Steak Tartare on Toast ($6) and
Homemade Foccacia with Whipped Lardo ($5).
There is no cover for Superfuzz at Hotel Max. The event is open to the public. Featured DJs and drinks
can be found at www.hotelmaxseattle.com/superfuzz.
