I am sure this has been discussed before but looking for a hotel this summer in Seattle for my wife and I anniversary trip. Looking to stay in the downtown area. Thanks
Stay at Inn at the Market. It is half a block from Pike Public Market. Has a terrace on second floor, I believe, that overlooks Puget Sound. One night my wife and I bought cheese, crackers, wine and some Shiner Bock and at that on the terrace for our dinner. It is a great place to stay.
Where not to stay is just as important... last two trip was at the Westin downtown (was a conference, so not my choice to stay there again)... the hotel is fine but just not the location I preferred. It is close to the Space Needle but a little more of a hike to other stuff downtown. Beds are great, though.
Just returned from a three day weekend in Seattle and stayed at the Four Seasons. Great location and fantastic concierge. Pike Place Market was a very short walk away and it was easy to get into and out of when I needed to drive.
