17 Best Hotels in Seattle, Washington (2025) | Condé Nast Traveler

"Quietly stylish and unapologetically celebratory, Thompson Seattle suits travelers who want craft cocktails with a view and modern design without fuss; rooms favor clean lines, comfortable work nooks, and window views of either the skyline or Elliott Bay. Downstairs Conversation Kitchen & Bar signals its hushed, relaxed tone, while upstairs The Nest helped start Seattle’s rooftop‑bar trend and remains a lively perch. The hotel is central enough for the Seattle Art Museum and Pike Place Market yet small enough to feel intimate." - Jessica Voelker
