Gerry Kingen, owner of Salty's on Alki, is considering building a "boutique hotel" in the parking lot south of his Harbor Avenue restaurant.
Boutique hotels are usually more intimate and more expensive than hotel chains, so Kingen plans to offer niceties such as fireplaces and soaking tubs. He envisions a two-story building with 20 suites measuring about 500 square feet each. The new hotel would not require a kitchen because the restaurant could provide all necessary food service.
The zoned height limit for the building site is 35 feet and the hotel would occupy about 14,000 square feet.
"People want a small and very intimate atmosphere, not big towers," Kingen said.
He emphasized the architectural design of the boutique hotel is in its infancy. He has not applied for building permits from the city. Nor has he contacted state officials about his plans, which would bring state regulations into play because the project is close to Puget Sound.
For many years, Kingen leased the parking lot on the south side of the popular Harbor Avenue restaurant.
