For an unexpected weekend splurge, Tacoma will surprise and delight.

Sophisticated. Chic. Artistic. These adjectives barely describe this hotel that's been recognized as one of the finest "art" hotels in the world. But, after all, Tacoma is the "City of Glass."

The Museum of Glass is a destination unto itself. The galleries, the hotshop, and the musum store are three reasons to go. The works of the finest glass artists in the world show up in well-curated shows. The theater setting of the hot shop gives those who know nothing about glass a primer in glass blowing 101 where you can watch a piece of art take shape from raw materials before your eyes (Tip: leave your sweater in the car - it gets warm in there). At the museum stome, you can buy momentos from inexpensive souvenirs to excuisite showpieces. This museum is a Tacoma original and helped put this city on the cultural map. It's a must-see.
