Standing tall on a prime corner near iconic Pike Place Market, the 6-week-old Thompson Seattle houses 158 rooms, a locavore-lovers restaurant and a glorious rooftop bar with expansive views.

It’s all encased in a glassy, asymmetrical and architecturally avant-garde structure designed by the Seattle area’s modernist architectural whiz, Tom Kundig.

The Pacific Northwest conjures up images of hippies, hipsters and fleece-jacket connoisseurs.

To some degree, the stereotypes hold. But this hotel aims for something chicer, sleeker and more posh — but not without genuine heart and local flavor.

The most coveted guest rooms — sporting muted white, brown and navy color palettes and black-tile bathrooms — overlook Elliott Bay.

Scout, the ground-floor restaurant, is a destination in and of itself. Helmed by Josh Henderson, whose Huxley Wallace Collective runs acclaimed restaurants around the city, it serves up dishes that are at once hearty and sophisticated.

Think heirloom tomato salad with ham, basil and smoky cream, pork with sweet potato hash, mustard greens and a poached egg, and pasta with garlic scapes, parmesan-buttermilk sauce and edible flowers.

Many plates use ingredients native to the region.

The eatery is playfully decorated with mod woodsy flair, with plaid fabric on the banquettes, vintage Boy Scout mugs on the wall and an airy wooden cabin with a long table inside on one end.

A basic gym is shared with the apartment building next door. Luckily, it’s easy enough to run along the nearby waterfront path, which is incredibly scenic, good for people-watching and boasts Mt. Rainier looming above the horizon on clear days.

Billed as the highest rooftop patio bar in the city, The Nest is worth a perch.

Amid couches, fire pits, tall tables and an indoor lounge with leather chairs, toast with one of the hotel’s carefully crafted cocktails, all named after birds. The top fowl is The Flamingo, an oversized beverage made for sharing served in a copper vessel that combines vodka, rum, cognac, pineapple juice, lime juice and Perrier Jouet ($150).

Currently in the works is its older sister — the Big Bird, if added to the menu, could serve 10 to 15 people and would cost as much as $1,500. Sip a regularly priced cocktail, if you wish, as you take in the cityscape, including a birds-eye view of Pike Place and its scenic neon signs, the sporty homes of the Mariners and Seahawks, ferries criss-crossing the bay to Seattle’s various outlying islands, and the snow-capped Olympic and Cascade mountains beyond.

Forget the grunge Seattle became famous for in the 90s, because the Evergreen State’s crown jewel just got an ample dose of glam. It’s not cheap, but it sure is cool.
