The Escape Artist wants to plan your perfect playful escape
When you visit Seattle there are several sites you don't want to miss. The Space Needle. The Market. The Waterfront. And The Escape Artist.
The Escape Artist at the Hotel Monaco Seattle, also known as Art Ruiz, our Chef Concierge, is your gateway to the perfect playful escape. His services are essential for getting you around the Emerald City.
Art has the magic touch for making the impossible possible. Like the time he found a guest a spot on a sold-out tour of Boeing. Or the time he found tickets on the 50-yard line at a Seahawks game at Qwest Field. Art is a baseball fanatic, speaks fluent Spanish and lives in the heart of the city, so he has his finger on the pulse of the community. He knows the hot spots, the fun spots, the must-do spots and how to mix them all up for just the right kind of great escape.
Art was born to be a concierge. Even at a young age, he was planning trips for his friends and family. He loves to explore new places and wants to help you create your own playful escape. Find out about some of the favorites he's already created.
Art would be pleased to assist you. You'll find him at our nightly hosted wine hour, pouring his favorite local wines and beers. You can also contact him directly at or call 206-516-5010.
