Hotel Murano, in Tacoma, recently joined an elite rank of properties when it was awarded Four Stars by Forbes Travel Guide. The hotel is celebrating its win as the first hotel in Tacoma to be recognized by Forbes and one of only four in Washington to receive Four Stars.
“We are incredibly honored to be the first to bring an award of this caliber home to Tacoma,” said Bashar Wali, President of Provenance Hotels. “The hotel is a beautiful and unique but, in reality, the professional dedication and irrepressible passion we have for providing unbeatable customer service day-in and day-out are what earned this award.”
Hotel Murano is located in the heart of Tacoma’s downtown museum district and compliments the city’s status as the epicenter of the American art glass movement by featuring more than 45 glass artists from around the world throughout the hotel’s public spaces and on every guest room floor. The property is a member of Provenance Hotels based out of Portland.

Travelers seeking exceptional experiences rely on our ratings to guide them to the world’s finest hotels, restaurants and spas,” said Michael Cascone, President and COO of Forbes Travel Guide. “By continuing to evolve our ratings categories, we are establishing a global benchmark for the highest standards in hospitality service and facilities.”
