SEATTLE — Five years after Seattle’s Lusty Lady strip club closed down, a new hotel is set to take its place.
The Seattle Times reports (http://bit.ly/1LO29oZ) a local developer announced Thursday that the old building near Pike Place Market will be turned into a 43-room boutique hotel.
A partner in the project, John Schack, says the hotel will pay tribute to the peep show in some way with features such as a speak-easy bar.
The Lusty Lady provided 27 years of live dancing that went 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The establishment was known for double-entendre messages on its marquee.
The hotel is scheduled to open in 2017 and will feature 4,100 square feet of retail space and a rooftop deck. The partners say it will target “creative-class travelers.”
