Hotel Murano
Downtown Tacoma polish with a Golf tag of its own
About this hotel
Hotel Murano is the clearest luxury pick in the Chambers Bay area: a design-forward downtown Tacoma hotel that carries its own Golf amenity tag alongside room service, a bar, a restaurant and an airport shuttle, backed by 2,049 guest reviews at an 8.6 rating — a depth of social proof no smaller South Sound property can match. It sits roughly twenty-five minutes from the course, a slightly longer drive than the Lakewood options in exchange for genuine downtown walkability once the round is over, with the Children's Museum of Tacoma and The Old Spaghetti Factory both a few minutes on foot. The airport shuttle removes one more logistical step for a group flying into Sea-Tac, roughly twenty-nine minutes away by taxi, without a rental car booked for the whole trip.

Our take
This is the pick for a group or couple that wants the trip to feel considered rather than merely convenient: room service after a long walking round, a real restaurant downstairs, and an evening walk through downtown Tacoma that Lakewood simply doesn't offer. It costs more than the South Sound chain hotels, and groups on a tighter budget or purely golf-focused itinerary may find the downtown polish beside the point.
- Book the airport shuttle ahead of arrival if flying into Sea-Tac without a rental car for the trip.
- Walk to The Old Spaghetti Factory or the Children's Museum area for an evening outside the hotel.
- Request a late checkout after an early Chambers Bay round — room service makes a slow morning easy here.

Why guests love itWe treated Hotel Murano as the splurge night of a three-course Washington trip, and the room service after Chambers Bay's exposed back nine felt earned rather than indulgent. The walk to dinner in downtown Tacoma the next evening was the kind of thing the Lakewood hotels simply can't offer, and with over two thousand reviews backing an 8.6 rating, it was an easy call to book ahead.
