The Best Hotels in Seattle
"A grand, century-old hotel housed in a 1924 Italian Renaissance–style building that blends old-world European glamour (grand staircases, restored architecture) with modern amenities such as an indoor lap pool and a serene spa; it topped Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards in 2022 and placed again in 2023. The property offers 450 spacious, classic rooms and suites with blue and gray accents, three on-site restaurants each helmed by renowned American chefs, and a recently refreshed Olympic Bar. What to consider: with several excellent on-site restaurants led by notable chefs, diners seeking more local cuisine may need to head into town. Practical details: neighborhood Downtown Seattle; parking $45 per night at a nearby garage or $65 per night valet; pets allowed (additional $75 cleaning fee); WiFi $33 per day (included in Guest Experience Fee); accessible rooms available; ALL - Accor Live Limitless loyalty; rates from $248. “Celebrating its centennial in 2024, this hotel transports guests back to the 1920s with its restored original architecture. The lobby is striking, with gold, black, and white accents, and a bustling bar and secret speakeasy where guests can track down a host or hostess dressed in black and tell them the secret phrase to unlock a bookshelf leading to a hidden lounge. One of my favorite parts of the hotel is the indoor pool and jacuzzi with a clear roof above, making it a cozy spot to escape to if your visit turns rainy.” — Anna Popp, Associate Editor" - Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd is a travel, wine and lifestyle writer.
