The hotel chain was founded in 1999 by Alex Calderwood and three of his friends in Seattle. The main headquarters of the hotel chain are now in Portland. The location and setting of each hotel also has an important influence over its interior design, so most of the hotels have a very clear yet more modern Northwestern touch.
