"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."

Request a higher floor here, because despite double glazing, some guests are disturbed by the passing trains, and docking ferries and cruise ships.

Although the -09 and -02 "Cool Corner" rooms cost a bit more, they are worth requesting.
