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."
Zagat4.3
"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."

If you can snag a reservation, dinner at the nearby Herbfarm restaurant is a must—book ahead as it can fill up fast.
Travel + Leisure "The 84 rooms are subtly done in salvaged timber and antique slate, and outfitted with Frette linens, fireplaces, and giant Jacuzzis for two." Full review
Star Service "In the Sammamish River Valley, this establishment is the only hotel in the region to rival the superb Bellevue Club, and its dining is just as good, if not better." Full review
Michelin Guide "Combining elegance and rusticity, The Willows is situated amid five acres of lush gardens in the Sammamish Valley near Seattle, and at the heart of Western Washington's wine country."

"The upscale Willows Lodge is a beautiful, 84-room resort in Woodinville Wine Country." Full review
Gayot "Located on Seattle's east side (meaning east of Lake Washington), surrounded by the wineries of the Woodinville Wine Country, this small, understated lodge is a true escape from the city."
Forbes Travel Guide "Set among the wineries of Woodinville, east of Seattle, Willows Lodge pairs luxury with Northwest rusticity." Full review
Michelin Guide "Willows Lodge’s location, on the eastern edge of the Seattle suburbs (not far from Microsoft’s hometown of Redmond) makes it an obvious choice for tech-industry corporate retreats" Full review
