"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

"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.

For more space and the best views, opt for one of the "premier rooms," which have large windows and extra-comfy beds.

"This budget hotel is just a few blocks from the University District and I-5, so downtown is only a quick drive away."
