Viretta Park is located to the south of the former home of Kurt Cobain, where he died. Nirvana fans gather at the park on the anniversary of Cobain's death (April 5), and to a lesser extent on his birthday (Feb 20), to pay tribute to the musician.

The park's wooden benches, serving as the de facto memorial to Kurt Cobain in Seattle, are covered with graffiti messages to the rock icon. There has been much speculation over the years on whether the name of the park should be changed to "Kurt's Park", due to the late rock icons large fan base.

Staff are helpful and friendly at this gorgeous, modern hotel. We stayed in a King Suite on the 10th floor on a Saturday night, and the room was very comfortable and quiet. Bathroom had a full sized bathtub too. The soaps provided smelled great and did not irritate my skin.
