Frommer's "Across Alaskan Way from Elliott Bay, this sleek hotel doesn't have superb views like the Edgewater, but it's the only other option if you want to stay on the waterfront." Full review
Fodor's "The decor in the public spaces is warm, rich, and somewhat interesting, while guest rooms fall back on standard hotel decor." Full review

"There are very few Seattle hotels this close to the water, so if you want to enjoy everything this scenic city has to offer... the Marriott is a great pick." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Marriott is an eight-story property with rooms on the downtown waterfront, directly across from the Seattle Cruise Terminal (Pier 66) where ships bound for Alaska dock." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This waterfront gem with excellent views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains is Seattle’s first full-service hotel. There’s a fitness center and two restaurants."
Star Service "This is a tour-de-force fueled by commercial grandeur and excellent meeting facilities, helping it to compete with the likes of the Monaco and Alexis despite its strong business overtones." Full review

Request a higher floor here, because despite double glazing, some guests are disturbed by the passing trains, and docking ferries and cruise ships.
Gayot "When Seattle's downtown waterfront area began its renaissance, one thing was missing: a new upscale hotel."

"Pike Place Market is just a "short elevator ride" away from this "excellent" waterfont chain outpost offering "fantastic views" of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains."

Concierge "Though its central location makes the Arctic Club ideal year-round, in summer you can stroll the waterfront, just five blocks from the hotel."
Condé Nast Traveler "Such attention to detail, paired with equally attentive staff, makes the hotel warm and welcoming." Full review
Star Service "This is one of Doubletree's most intriguing properties to date and the polar opposite of its 800-room sibling near the airport. It has an upscale twist that makes a great first impression." Full review

"There's "no better place to kick off an expedition" than this "unique" turn-of-the-century Downtown chain outpost."
Frommer's "Today the Arctic Club Seattle is one of the prettiest historic buildings in Seattle and should be your first choice if you enjoy staying in historic hotels." Full review

Be sure to sneak a peek inside the Northern Lights Dome Room, a grand hall with original frescoes, a stained-glass ceiling, and lots of ornate plasterwork and gilding.
Fodor's "The Arctic Club pays homage to an era of Gold Rush opulence. Fun touches like trunks for bedside tables and walrus bottle openers continue the arctic club theme." Full review

Choose from rooms with whirlpools or deluxe showers; a few rooms have outdoor terraces.
Gayot "Formerly a men's club for veterans of the Alaska gold rush, this downtown hotel offers all of the perks of a luxury hotel as well as a colorful historic background."
Frommer's "The rooms, with their big windows, king-sized beds and Art Deco–style armchairs...great location for exploring the oldest and most architecturally interesting part of Seattle (Pioneer Square)" Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"By staying true to the building's history with period furnishings and original architectural details, the hotel creates an ambience straight out of the early part of the last century." Full review
