  • The suites have much larger bathrooms including a double vanity and marble tile, a living area, dining area that could also double as a desk, and much large wardrobe space. Plus, the views are second to none. 21
  • In the nearly $1,000-a-night room, I had better views of Seattle than at any viewpoint I ventured to during my three-day trip. And the best part was that I didn't even have to leave my bed to see it. 20

Bed & Sleep7 mentions · 1 filmed
  • The king bed looked so inviting I would have been tempted to take a long nap, if I hadn't had the munchkin with me and had several activities scheduled for the afternoon: 16
  • Four Seasons has my favourite bed of any hotel brand, with the most comfortable pillows I've ever experienced. 26
  • OH is 6' 3" and said the bed length was comfortable. 17
  • The bed was quite inviting with the plushness (note: the Four Seasons was the original hotel bed program before the Westin Heavenly bed and Sofitel So Bed). 7
  • As I always say about Four Seasons hotels, the bedding is heavenly. The bed itself is so comfortable and the sheets and duvet are butter soft and cozy. I always sleep so well at Four Seasons. 9
  • I would happily stay at the Four Seasons Seattle again as I always sleep well on Four Seasons beds and despite my opinion of the room design, quality of sleep is more important to me. 7

  • I liked the immediate area towards the football stadium, good neighbourhood bars and food places. 17
  • The property has a perfect location in downtown Seattle at 99 Union Street. 21
  • Downtown Seattle best avoided! We used Intercontinental Bellevue: a shortish Uber from the centre and much nicer area 17
  • Four Seasons Hotel Seattle Seattle, Washington, USA The Four Seasons Hotel Seattle is a property as dynamic as the Emerald City itself. It is a contemporary contender on the city's accommodation scene, occupying an enviable waterfront location that gives it a unique sense of place. 24
  • You really couldn't choose a better location than the Four Seasons Hotel Seattle. It's in the center of downtown, thus you are within walking distance of several attractions. 6
  • With an outstanding location within walking distance of most of Seattle's major attractions, a generous house car program to transport you around the city, a great dining program, and a top-notch staff, this hotel left little to be desired. 27
  • Excellent, convenient location in downtown Seattle, close to major sites and the business sector. 9
  • The Four Seasons Seattle is located at 99 Union Street, and it has an unbeatable location for sightseeing. It's steps from Pike Place Market, and is right on the waterfront. 23
  • The hotel is located right downtown near the harbour and has one of the best locations in the city, just steps away from Pike Place Market. 26
  • Let me show you around. This is the hotel from the outside. It's brilliantly located right by the waterfront. On camera20:09
  • The location is unbeatable for exploring downtown's best offerings on foot. 1
  • The hotel still feels fresh (it opened in 2020) and is in a pleasant area a short walk from the Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass, which we visited on the Saturday morning. 17
  • Located downtown, it's the perfect place to stay if you want to walk to the waterfront or Pike Place Market in five minutes or less. 20
  • The location is fantastic and it's an overall luxury experience in the heart of downtown Seattle. 7
  • The 4 seasons feels more modern and is located near the tourist stuff. 19
  • Four Seasons Seattle Location It's all about location at the Four Seasons Seattle. It's all about location at the Four Seasons Seattle. It can't get any more central in the city. 7
  • One of the best activities features of the hotel is the complimentary house car, a Tesla Model S, that can take guests around downtown but also makes roundtrips to / from Canlis. 27
  • Our recent stay at the Four Seasons Seattle was so, so dreamy. This luxury, 5-star hotel is in a prime location in Downtown Seattle, right by the waterfront. 14

  • Opposite the front desk is a helpful concierge at your service. 9
  • Good location, and the staff is always attentive and genuinely friendly. 19
  • Check out that bathtub. And the towels are so soft, just like you'd expect. On camera21:33
  • The staff were lovely throughout from check in to check out and again when I left my camera charger and had to retrieve it a week later. 7
  • KidTripster Tip: We also enjoyed the services of the Coffee Concierge who, upon request, delivers complimentary coffee to your door. We also enjoyed the services of the Coffee Concierge who, upon request, delivers complimentary coffee to your door. It's Seattle, after all where coffee is life. 11
  • Now, I don't care if a hotel fails to apply all benefits proactively. I'll always ask politely, and usually, the front desk agent is more than willing to look into it. This guy flat out lied, which is really bizarre. 26
  • Check in is quick and easy, and even faster if you remember to use the Four Seasons App. 9
  • The concierge is great at customizing experiences for groups with different needs and energy levels. 1
  • Perfect service (as you always find at any Four Seasons). 9
  • Recent travelers complimented this Four Seasons property's highly attentive service staff, as well as the hotel's extra perks, like a rooftop infinity pool and views of both the Olympic Mountains and Elliott Bay. 12
  • This has been our go-to property when visiting family in Seattle. Always considered it the best option given Seattle doesn't have a ton of FAT properties to choose from. Good location, and the staff is always attentive and genuinely friendly. 19
  • Service was for the most part excellent and friendly. 16
  • My room was ready and check in was quick. 7
  • That the service is top-notch and attentive goes without saying - staff here attends to whatever you need with a laid-back, friendly and confident flair that's hard to duplicate. 12
  • Sure The Four Seasons Hotel is more exclusive and a bit nicer, but I just don't see the value, especially considering the mediocre service. 26
  • The restaurant and bar were always so busy we didn't get a chance to interact with the restaurant staff as much, but they were warm and professional in all our interactions. 27
  • Fantastic service and fabulous pancakes which set the bar quite high for other pancakes now. 7
  • Service here was outstanding from the bellman and house car driver, to the front desk and concierge. Always quick to offer to lend a hand or recommendation, or to remember where we had just come from and ask about the experience. 27
  • Reply Apr 23rd, 2002 | 03:11 PM #3 pete Guest Posts: n/a I would have to disagree. We recently stayed at the Warwick and were less than impressed with the service. 8
  • The Four Seasons brand is known for its outstanding service and the Four Season Hotel Seattle was no exception. Every request is executed in a timely fashion with excellence. 6
  • The staff were very friendly and helpfullt provided plenty of recommendations for local eating and drinking. 17
  • Reply Apr 23rd, 2002 | 03:24 PM #4 Lisa Guest Posts: n/a Have to disagree to with Pete. We stayed at the Warwick just 2 weeks ago and it was a wonderful experience. Our rooms were clean and comfy and the 24 hour downtown shuttle was very nice. 8
  • Do they still have that nice little snack/drink setup on the way to the elevators? Thought that was a great touch when I was there in 2019 19
  • Incredibly friendly staff and high standard of Four Seasons service 1
  • The hotel's signature restaurant, Goldfinch Tavern, is right off this space, so that's definitely the most lively part of the lobby. We arrived mid-afternoon, and our check-in process was efficient and friendly, and within a couple of minutes we were given keys to our room. 23
  • Thankfully it wasn't busy, and we were greeted immediately by staff and directed inside for check-in. In my experience, Four Seasons always has terrific front door staff, who always welcome us (and our dogs) warmly. 26
  • as you would expect from a Four Seasons the service downstairs was amazing and you know everyone is very professional and very friendly so I always like that On camera102:19
  • Every detail, from the service, to the afternoon treats in the lobby, were just lovely. 14
Food27 mentions · 2 filmed
  • Goldfinch Tavern serves a fantastic brunch and one of the better hotel breakfasts in the city 1
  • In the case of Four Seasons Seattle, there's just one restaurant and it's so good. Goldfinch Tavern offers breakfast, lunch and dinner, which works out great because you may want to eat all of your meals here. 11
  • The dusky twilight radiating through Goldfinch's large bay view windows added much atmosphere to the restaurant's already chic and contemporary design. 24
  • The bartender was great though and made something very similar. We were also able to have breakfast in the morning, which would have cost about $100 without the FHR benefit. Service was great, and the food was delicious. 26
  • The Four Seasons is just about unarguably Seattle's most luxurious property. It has a central location with beautiful views, impeccable service, a great gym, an outdoor pool and hot tub, a full service spa, and an all-day restaurant (and 24/7 room service). 23
  • all of the food here was superb even if you're a local you're missing out if you don't come here On camera254:14
  • The airy dining room features waterfront views and a warm, tavern-style ambiance. 1
  • Summer 2023 and the place was crawling with zombies, rough sleepers druggies etc we stayed in the Kimpton Monaco that was understaffed, one inadequate restaurant that the hotel had disowned, no room service. 17
  • Breakfast service in the ajoining restaurant didn't start until after 10am (could only get a coffee in the bar) as the chef hadn't turned in and everyone else was new. 17
  • The food was phenomenal, featuring locally sourced ingredients celebrating the bounty of the Pacific Northwest. From the freshest of oysters and Walla Walla onion bisque to delicious Dungeness crab, to the palate-cleansing huckleberry lemon sherbert, every bite showcased the region's diverse flavours. 24
  • In the room there was a pamphlet about the hotel's "coffee concierge," whereby you can have complimentary coffee delivered to your room between 6AM and 10AM daily. This is coffee in partnership with the adjacent Fonte coffee shop, and I found the drip coffee to be exceptional. 23
  • I had lunch at the restaurant and lounge, ART. My lunch was fabulous, but unfortunately, ART closed the next day for a 2 month renovation! 21
  • I have a food allergy. The menu was clearly marked with allergens. The servers did a great job answering my questions and helping me figure out what I could safely order. 11
  • Goldfinch Tavern offers great views of the waterfront and delicious food. 9
  • The restaurant is good, but there are a LOT of better ones nearby. 19
  • Why not call it what it is - a food credit! We went to Goldfinch Tavern for dinner and overall had a really nice experience. 26
  • Desserts were creative with an artful presentation. 9
  • we ordered drinks and food all of it was excellent On camera252:42
  • Really punching above its weight in every respect, especially the large quiet room with fabulous views. we stayed in the Kimpton Monaco that was understaffed, one inadequate restaurant that the hotel had disowned, no room service. 17
  • Let's start with one of my favorite topics-the food. We had breakfast at the Four Seasons Seattle's restaurant, Goldfinch Tavern, and it was pretty much to die for. Highly recommend the Northwest Breakfast Hash and their Smoked Salmon Benedict. So, so good. 14
  • The hotel offers 24-hour in-room dining with a well-curated menu of local favorites, healthy options, and comfort food. 1
  • Four Seasons is the quality and service you would expect of a major hotel, but you might enjoy the W as well..it's a high end hotel but a bit more alternative in its approach with a great restaurant below. 8
  • As we were working during the day, we decided to order lunch, and had the Pike Place Chop and Wynn Salad. Both salads were fresh and flavorful. 23
  • We stayed at the Kimpton Vintage, we enjoyed the fact it was wine-themed! It was a gorgeous friendly place, with lots of perks like bar credit and free desserts in the Tulio restaurant. 5th Avenue at Spring, handy for downtown and Pike Place. 17
  • The Goldfinch Tavern serves praised chef-prepared meals. 5
  • Early check-in was much appreciated, especially when traveling with a child, and the kid amenities will put a smile on most any kid's (and parent's) face: a cute stuffed animal, child-size bathrobe, some delicious (and organic) welcome treats, and a kids' menu and activity book at ART Restaurant (review to come). 16
  • We came for the Sunday brunch and loved it! The Sunday brunch includes 3-courses and bottomless mimosas for $59 per person. We both enjoyed our food and recommend everything that we ordered: For appetizers, we had the Goldfinch Chowder and Roasted Vegetables and Quinoa Salad. 6

  • The smallest guest room is 450 square feet, which is a great size. 21
  • and let me give you an overview of the room very nice you know nothing huge but still luxurious On camera102:11
  • Ok, it's not the Four Seasons ;o)))....but we had a great stay at the Embassy Suites! Really punching above its weight in every respect, especially the large quiet room with fabulous views. 17
  • The suites have much larger bathrooms including a double vanity and marble tile, a living area, dining area that could also double as a desk, and much large wardrobe space. Plus, the views are second to none. 21
  • The furnishings are spacious and modern, with large bathrooms, and generous in-room amenities. Your room will come stocked with L'Occitane bath products and gourmet coffee. 11
  • I thought the room felt luxurious, though not cutting edge or ultra modern. It's clear that the hotel has undergone a soft refresh in recent years, but I don't think it has undergone a full renovation since opening. 23
  • The Four Seasons Seattle hard product (furniture) is dated but soft product is spectacular and I just love the property. 19
  • In our Deluxe Elliot Bay suite, the understated elegance continued. It was thoughtfully designed with a neutral colour palette of caramel and soft blue, paying homage to the natural hues of the Pacific Northwest and complements the stunning views of the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains (not to mention the Seattle Great Wheel) all perfectly framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. 24
  • The room features a contemporary and minimalist design with luxurious bathrooms 26
  • They also offer cheaper non-refundable rooms. We managed to check in early and the room was compact but well designed with a super king bed against the far wall with a large window. 17
  • Rooms are expectedly elegant, Northwest-style decor featuring wood and stone details - chaise longues, neutral cream palettes, upholstered headboards, and majestic bathrooms. 22
  • Interestingly enough there is no in-room coffee machine! However, the hotel does set up a tea/coffee station in the lobby every morning, though I do normally prefer having my first cup before getting ready for the day. 26
  • The building next door felt quite close, and most vantage points from our room looked directly into those apartments, and not at the harbour. This is definitely a very accommodating business hotel, with a large desk and comfortable office chair. 26
  • I wanted to show what the view looks like. This is what the views looks like when standing at the window. Look at those beautiful Olympic Mountains! 21
  • Beside the television was the minibar area, which looked equally impressive. 26
  • The hotel hallways (and much of the room decor) is contemporary and minimalist, which I really like, but I don't think the photos do the decor justice. 26
  • Around 500 square feet, my creamy-walled Prime Bay Room is large enough to fit a cushy chaise lounge, a king-sized bed with a massive upholstered headboard, and a 42-inch plasma television. 28
  • The minibar had a good selection of drinks and snacks along with glasses. 7
  • As one might expect being in one of America's great tech hubs, the room was well-equipped for electronics super-users with lots of outlets, charging stations, and entertainment tech. 27
  • My favorite aspect of the interior design was the textured wallpaper behind the bed. It looked like clouds with a mix of cool and warm hues. The decor was subtle, as the outdoor views were the star of the room, but I thought the wallpaper added a dreamy touch to the sleeping space. 20
  • Both of these requests were welcomed with ease, and I was assured there would be alternate bathroom amenities and dog bowls on arrival. They weren't, which lead me to believe the front desk agent was most certainly lying when he said the room had been upgraded prior to our arrival (the other amenities were in the originally assigned room). 26
  • Corner suites at the Four Seasons are marketed as being 795 square feet (74 square meters), so they're quite generously sized, and have a fully separate living room and bedroom. 23
  • great closet space as our son discovered On camera251:32
  • Honestly, it'd be difficult to find a hotel better situated than the Four Seasons Hotel Seattle. Although you might not want to leave the comfort of your room, the best of Seattle sits just outside the hotel entrance. 11
  • After the horrid coffee situation at the Thompson Seattle, I was delighted to see a Nespresso machine in the room. On top of that, there was a kettle with a selection of complimentary RISHI teas, plus a variety of drinks and snacks available for purchase. 23
  • We had a great stay at the Kimpton Palladian. Smallish rooms but we were in Seatttle to do things, not stay in a hotel room. 17
  • Now, let's have a look at our bedroom. It is massive. On camera21:04
  • and just loving these views I just got to the room and it's great to look at you can see the water and you can see the port with all the ships out there On camera101:51
  • Accommodations. Our room was lovely and the decor was very modern and minimal, with soft tones and rich textures. 14
  • the room was a good size to the three of us On camera251:30
  • We used Intercontinental Bellevue: a shortish Uber from the centre and much nicer area We had a great stay at the Kimpton Palladian. We had a great stay at the Kimpton Palladian. Smallish rooms but we were in Seatttle to do things, not stay in a hotel room. 17
  • The views from the room were.... just ok. I would have been really disappointed had I paid for the partial harbour view, but it's better than nothing. 26
  • In the nearly $1,000-a-night room, I had better views of Seattle than at any viewpoint I ventured to during my three-day trip. And the best part was that I didn't even have to leave my bed to see it. 20
  • The bedroom was separated from the living room by a door, and had the typical signature Four Seasons bed, which is the most comfortable in the industry. 23
  • The room design was a bit odd - I didn't like the art print on the wall as I would have liked to see local Northwest artists or Seattle colors from Chihuly, the lamps each had a different color and shapes and they had a Boeing plane for sale on the bedside table - just odd and unexpected. 7
  • On to my favorite part of the room - the views! My goodness, talk about a breathtaking view of Elliott Bay! 23
  • At about 475 square feet, the room had a very standard layout but felt quite spacious. 26
  • The Goldfinch Tavern also has amazing views, so it's the perfect spot to grab a table by the window for your meal, or enjoy drinks at the bar in the evening. 14
  • At the front of the room was a spacious closet and plenty of amenities. 20
Bathroom15 mentions · 5 filmed
  • The bathroom was stunning, as is the norm at most Four Seasons' properties, though I was a bit shocked at the small vanity area with only one sink. 26
  • There's another TV built into the mirror in the marbled bathroom, and if soaking in a cavernous tub while watching old episodes of Sex in the City isn't the height of luxury, well, we don't know what is. 28
  • Nice rain shower with decent pressure. 17
  • Honestly, I think this is the nicest bathroom I've ever seen in a hotel. On camera21:47
  • and then the bathroom the bathroom is where it all comes together first necessity look at that nice big bathtub huh look at that very nice On camera106:34
  • That the hotel place alternative bathroom amenities in the room, as I loathe L'Occitane amenities. I think they stink. 26
  • The marble bathroom is a spa-like haven, featuring polished glossy surfaces, a deep soaking tub and a separate glass-enclosed rain shower. 24
  • Each room has a large marble bathroom and soaking tub, which feels very luxurious. 14
  • so very very nice luxurious bathroom I love what the Four Seasons does with a basic hotel room On camera108:12
  • beautiful double vanity and spacious bathroom On camera251:44
  • Each room also has rain shows, integrated TV screens in the bathroom mirrors, and L'Occitane Almond products (The oil bath gel smells and feels fantastic). 6
  • Bath amenities, as is typical for most Four Seasons properties, were L'Occitane. Some of my favorite, which I wish a number of other hotels would upgrade to. 16
  • Honestly, I think this is the nicest bathroom I've ever seen in a hotel. That marble bathtub is beautiful. I can't wait to have a bath in here. Look how deep it is. On camera21:47
  • I love marble, and the bathrooms at Four Seasons Seattle have beautiful marble counters and marble framed soaking tubs. There's a tv in the mirror (such cool technology) and everything you need as far as bath amenities is right there. 9
  • The marble bathroom featured one of the deepest soaking tubs I've seen, a separate glass enclosed rain shower, separate toilet chamber, and a small TV screen inset into the mirror, similar to what we had at The Setai Fifth Avenue: 16

  • There was a small fridge fully stocked with beverages and a small selection of snacks. As expected, everything was grossly overpriced, though I appreciated it wasn't a sensor fridge which seems to be a growing trend (even at luxury hotels). 26
  • I was also put off by the nightly $26 amenity fee at the Kimpton Palladian as probably wouldn't have used any of the benefits. 17
  • You got to book ahead if you want to go cuz it's very popular. It's not a massive menu, but it's a very good one. The food is not too expensive. On camera22:18
  • Sure The Four Seasons Hotel is more exclusive and a bit nicer, but I just don't see the value, especially considering the mediocre service. 26

  • The hallway was devoid of any color or design elements - the hallways are screaming for splashes for color. 7
  • So no junkies lying in the street with needles sticking out of their arm 2 blocks up from the Palladian like I saw in June 24 then? I liked it as a hotel but the staffing level was a disaster back then. 17

  • Yah view from lower floors are "better" as it blocks out the ugly public storage building. 19

    Review: Four Seasons Hotel Seattle (The City's Best Hotel)
    onemileatatime.comReview site2025-04-30Recent13 quotes used
    I thought the room felt luxurious, though not cutting edge or ultra modern. It's clear that the hotel has undergone a soft refresh in recent years, but I don't think it has undergone a full renovation since opening.
