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."

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
