When visiting Seattle, stay at one of the constellation of Seattle downtown hotels that offer a range of rates and amenities that will satisfy everyone’s tastes and budgets. The city center offers a range of cultural and sightseeing activities, from sophisticated to exciting, active to relaxing, and its hotels reflect the very different experiences you can have in Seattle.

The Fairmont Hotel, Seattle’s ‘Grande Dame’, is the Pacific Northwest’s only AAA Five Diamond Hotel, a designation it has held since 1984. Like all the Seattle hotels mentioned here, the Fairmont is steps away from the city’s most exciting attractions, including the famous Pike Place Market, Seattle Waterfront and the Space Needle, as well as museums, shops, restaurants and theatres. In your room, expect a privately stocked refreshment center, Sony Playstation, terrycloth bathrobes, and more.

At the Westin Hotel, Seattle is literally at your feet. The Seattle Westin Hotel’s unique circular towers provide panoramic views of Puget Sound, surrounding mountain ranges, the famous Space Needle and Seattle’s vibrant downtown. All guest rooms are spacious with approximately 325 square feet of living space. The Westin also offers a choice of larger Executive, Luxury, Deluxe and Presidential Suites. At the Westin Hotel in Seattle, you can enjoy fresh Northwest cuisine at Coldwater Bar and Grill, or relax in their comfortable Lobby Bar. Floor to ceiling windows in guest rooms offer breathtaking views of the city, particularly at night.

At the four-star Hotel Monaco, Seattle meets the Mediterranean! A feast for the eyes awaits, with rich color schemes in crimson, ochre and charcoal or yellow, raspberry and cream are layered over patterns, textures and stylish furnishings. Names like the Monaco Rooms, Monte Carlo Suite and Athens Meeting Room evoke this part of the world. And, the hotel is pet friendly!

If you prefer a more modern look, the W Hotel Seattle is for you. Wood and black tones evoke the Pacific Northwest. What is really unique about the W, though, is its “Whatever/Whenever” service. Bathtub full of hot chocolate? Birthday party at 35,000 feet? A tux for your dog so he can be your best man? This is one Seattle hotel where the motto is truly, 'Your wish is our command.'

As you can see, hotels in Seattle are as much an experience as the city itself!

Built in 1929 in the midst of the Great Depression, the Roosevelt Hotel, named after Theodore Roosevelt, provided accommodations for fortune seekers headed to Alaska and other parts of the world. Renovated in 2005, the lobby houses hundreds of books, a fireplace and grand piano. And, staying lit 24 hours a day, the pink neon rooftop sign atop the Roosevelt Hotel is a Seattle beacon for guests heading back from a day in the city.

Finally, The Sheraton has a reputation for being one of the finest hotels in the world. The Sheraton Hotel in Seattle, WA, upholds this reputation with ease. All 838 guest rooms have double pillow top mattresses, adjustable task chairs, and many other touches that ensure your comfort and convenience.

At the Seattle airport, hotels generally are members of a chain. Some of these well-known names include Best Western, Ramada, Doubletree, Hampton Inn, Marriott and Hilton Hotels in Seattle. These companies provide clean, comfortable rooms and conveniences most often needed by travelers, either for business or pleasure, without a lot of variety. A standout among these is the Marriott. The stone fireplace and magnificent two story wood beamed atrium create an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation that is carried out in the Marriott’s 459 newly renovated guest rooms. Individual climate control is just one of the features that make these rooms uniquely comfortable.

As you can see, there is plenty of choice when looking for a great hotel in Seattle.
