"If you want Elliott Bay to be part of your morning routine, Four Seasons Seattle puts the water into the experience with floor‑to‑ceiling windows and an outdoor infinity pool that nods to the bay. The hotel’s clean, contemporary design and concierge‑level service suit families and executives alike, and on‑site Goldfinch restaurant translates regional seafood and produce into elevated dishes; the location is close to Pike Place Market but removed enough for a quiet night’s sleep. It’s a classic pick for travelers who prize views and faultless service." - Jessica Voelker
