Futuristic, yet so Zen — that’s how paradoxical Seattle is. Set in tranquil Puget Sound where water, slopes, extensive forests, and tech giants meet, Seattle is an excellent Northwest destination for travelers yearning to experience the best of both worlds.
To get an even greater perspective of what Seattle is all about, be sure to add these stylish boutique hotels that are renowned for that distinct Emerald City hospitality.

A Waterfront Inn in the Midst of a Historic Market

Aptly named Inn at the Market, this hotel rests at the heart of one of the United States’ oldest public markets – Pike Place Market – where  fragrant breads and organic produce can be fished fresh. This elegant 4-star outfit features relaxing water-view rooms with regional masterpieces, and floor-to-ceiling windows facing Elliot Bay and the Olympic Mountains.


Sink down in luxury Hypnos beds and custom Sferra linens while enjoying an in-house movie system, complimentary Wi-Fi, and designer toiletries, or sip on a cocktail at the roof deck while watching a dramatic sunset. Apart from the Seattle Art Museum five minutes away, restaurants and shops also sit close by.  

A Choice Hotel for Both Man and Pet

 

A Conde Nast Traveler Reader’s Choice awardee, luxurious Hotel Monaco Seattle boasts a stunning lobby and an on-site dining facility renowned for its evening wine hour and delectable Southern dishes. The individually designed rooms come with hypoallergenic beds, flat-screen TVs, pillowtop mattresses, and bathrooms with tubs and designer toiletries, plus guest privileges like free coffee, newspapers, and yoga mats.  


If you’re traveling with pets, the hotel is also among the best in the area, offering companion goldfish and furry friend perks such as a complimentary stay with pet food, beds, and water bowls – regardless of how many or how big they are.

A leisurely walk from the University of Washington, the Space Needle, and the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, the Watertown Hotel is an ideal base for an education-centered tour of Seattle. Also within close proximity are Pike Place Market and downtown restaurants, which can be explored by loaner bikes or shuttle service, courtesy of the hotel. Otherwise, you can dine in the on-site cafe where free cupcakes and afternoon coffee are served.


A nice mix of upmarket and hip, it offers light-filled rooms furnished with fridges, flat panel TVs, coffeemaking facilities, microwaves, signature toiletries, and free high-speed internet.

19th Century European Class at the Heart of the City

Founded in 1927, the historic Mayflower Park Hotel bears European elegance through and through:  a classy terra cotta facade, halls adorned with opulent chandeliers and 19th-century antiques, and period-style rooms with beautiful floor tiles hauled from the 1920s.  All rooms host spacious work areas, LCD TVs with cable, and luxurious bathrooms with deep tubs.


To complete your European experience, sample Mediterranean fare from Andalurca Restaurant and Bar and end your day with a sip of Oliver’s Lounge’s acclaimed martini. Don’t forget to visit the Westlake Center and Space Needle, which are both adjoined to the hotel by a walkway.

Downtown Budget Inn that Doesn’t Sacrifice Quality

When you want a budget accommodation that doesn’t scrimp on quality, the Quality Inn and Suites Hotel Seattle Center is a fitting choice. For less than $225 a night, you’ll have a spacious room with en suite bathroom (with whirlpool tub for suites), coffeemaker, 32-inch TV, weekday newspaper, and high-speed internet access.


You’ll also have access to a full range of essential amenities such as a fitness room, an indoor pool and hot tub, and complimentary breakfast, coffee, and shuttle service to local attractions. Conveniently located downtown, the hotel puts you at the center of must-see places like the Seattle Aquarium, Pioneer Square, and Space Needle. Seattle’s esteemed universities, business centers, and medical facilities are nearby, too.
