Post Mews — also known as Travelers Hotel — is a 7-unit historic loft conversion at 611 Post Ave in Seattle’s Pioneer Square neighborhood. The three-story red brick building was originally completed in 1913 as the Elgin Hotel, designed by architect Albert Wickersham (also architect of Seattle’s landmark Maynard Building of 1892).

The building was converted to condominiums in the late 1970s by Jones & Jones, Architects and Landscape Architects — described by the firm as the first mixed-use condominium in Seattle. The seven one-bedroom lofts feature exposed brick walls, hardwood floors, and soaring timbered ceilings authentic to the original 1913 construction.

The defining residential feature of Post Mews is the private rooftop garden accessible from each residence via double French doors off the airy second-floor living room — ideal for container gardening or entertaining with a Seattle skyline view.
