Zagat "As neighborhood hotels pop up in Seattle, the fanciest one is this indulgent Ballard escape in the middle of the historic area boasting cool shops and a weekend cocktail trail."
Gayot "Located in the center of Ballard --- arguably Seattle's most interesting neighborhood --- this boutique hotel is steps from the area's thriving art scene."
Afar Magazine "Hotel offerings in Seattle’s outlying neighborhoods are fairly limited, making the Hotel Ballard a welcome addition to this newly revitalized district north of downtown." Full review
Not For Tourists "As Borat would say, "Very nice!"."
Travel + Leisure "A luxury hotel brought much-needed accommodations and a splash of glamour to Ballard, a onetime fisherman's neighborhood that's become a food and shopping mecca." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"Located in Seattle's trendy Ballard neighborhood, the Hotel Ballard is an upper-middle-range boutique hotel that opened in 2013." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Not only is this 29-room boutique hotel one of the most luxurious stays in the neighborhood...but it's also in an ideal location, right on Ballard Avenue." Full review

Frommer's "The Edgewater is Seattle's only true waterfront hotel, and despite the urban setting, it manages to capture the feel of a classic Northwest wilderness retreat." Full review
Concierge "Edgewater's upscale lodge-style decor seems far more appropriate for Seattle than the bland luxury you get at most of the city's newer hotels."
i
Ask for a room facing the water—they're a bit more expensive but have larger bathrooms and sliding doors that open to incredible views.
Fodor's "The hotel has fallen short on visitor satisfaction of late, and guests looking for luxury should probably head to the Four Seasons or Hotel 1000." Full review
Travel + Leisure "With its self-consciously hearty, rustic interiors—all log and pine furniture, checks and tartans, river stones and slate—the Edgewater takes the Pacific Northwest-lodge motif to the nth degree." Full review
DK Eyewitness "All rooms combine luxury with Pacific Northwest charm. Features include handcrafted pine furniture, river rock fireplaces, Ralph Lauren bedding... and in-room Starbucks coffee service."
Star Service "On a thoroughfare extending from the ferry terminals to Myrtle Edwards Park, adjacent to Norwegian Cruise Lines moorings, this hotel is planted on a waterside wharf jutting out over Elliot Bay." Full review
Michelin Guide "The decor is reminiscent of a rustic mountain lodge; all guest rooms have a gas fireplace."
Gayot "These days, the property is a top bet for enjoying Seattle up-close-and-personal."
Zagat4.2
"It's all about the "spectacular views" of Puget Sound at this "historic", "romantic" boutique that hangs over Elliott Bay."
Afar Magazine "The Edgewater made its mark in Seattle history as the place The Beatles stayed when they came through on tour in 1964." Full review
