- “We actually ended up spending more time in this room than I would have liked, because I got a little sick the 2nd day we were in Seattle, but having such a comfortable and spacious room definitely helped me relax and laze away in bed until I felt well enough to go back out and explore.” 14
- “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.” 7

- “The concept is understandably sweeping the country; let the record show it began here in 2009. There's still no better place to linger over a book, with a roaring fireplace, piano, bar, impeccable service, and the knowledge that rain is falling reliably just outside those warm, inviting windows.” 10
- “When I say that the staff was attentive, I meant it. As soon as we got to our room, my eyes were immediately drawn to the coffee table - the staff at Hotel Ändra remembered that it was going to be our 2-year anniversary when we were in town (we mentioned it briefly over a month earlier, when we were emailing) and left us a hand-written note and a box of chocolate truffles to celebrate!” 14

Food25 mentions

- “Restaurant Ben Paris is an inviting, destination brunch waiting to happen.” 10

- “On-site restaurant Goldfinch translates regional seafood and produce into elevated dishes, and its bar is an underrated place to watch a game.” 10

Location31 mentions

- “Sheraton same but worse location.” 15
- “Hotel Ändra is located at the epicenter of downtown Seattle, right at the edge of Belltown. If you don't have much time in the city, you really can't choose a more ideal place to be.” 14
- “The property leans into the neighborhood's maritime and Scandinavian roots, with walkable access to craft breweries, Nordic bakeries, and the chic shopping on Ballard Avenue.” 10

- “Rooms are classically proportioned with modern comforts and large windows that make the bustle of downtown feel politely removed.” 10
- “Located in the lively Ballard neighborhood, this small boutique hotel is a lesson in scaled-down luxury: only 29 rooms, big windows, and suites that feel like a private pied-à-terre.” 10
- “The U-District location also means live music, great coffee, bookshops, and student-driven restaurants are steps from the door.” 10
- “The location is a quiet win-close to Pike Place Market and the hectic waterfront promenade, yet removed enough that you sleep soundly as the ferries and tourists pass.” 10
- “Share ClassicDull5567 • 1y ago Mostly that it's not right next to a stadium or major tourist attraction. We have stayed at all 3 Seattle Kimptons and liked the Palladian the most due to proximity to the pike place market, but they were all great.” 2

- “Outside, Belltown's creative energy hums-independent cinemas, galleries, and bakeries are just steps away.” 10
- “The hotel is central enough to walk to Seattle Art Museum and Pike Place Market, but small enough to feel intimate.” 10
- “Guest rooms are individually furnished and comfortable, the public rooms feel like a private club, and the hotel's First Hill address puts you within easy reach of downtown without the hubbub.” 10
- “Hyatt Regency is nice and close to the retail core. Not too far from the market and all the goings on.” 15
- “Inn at the Market is A+. Their patio overlooking Elliot Bay is worth the cost of admission alone. Great location for walking to much of the downtown” 15
- “The State Hotel, great location and the Ben Paris restaurant.” 15
- “linzfire • 1y ago We are at the FS now and went to Seattle Center today. We are at the FS now and went to Seattle Center today. Very easy walk to the monorail that takes you to Seattle Center.” 4

- “Kids and pets are welcomed exuberantly, the service is detailed and friendly, and a pastel-clad elevator door winks at the hotel's more whimsical past.” 10
- “The concept is understandably sweeping the country; let the record show it began here in 2009. There's still no better place to linger over a book, with a roaring fireplace, piano, bar, impeccable service, and the knowledge that rain is falling reliably just outside those warm, inviting windows.” 10

- “Downsides are it's probably the most aesthetically sterile Four Seasons I've stayed in, and it's expensive.” 15
- “I personally am a big fan of the Hotel Theodore, its chic, clean, and they have a lovely onsite bar/lounge, it's in a fairly good location between things you want to do, and booked out this far it's in your price range.” 2
- “Thompson Hotel: a few blocks away from the market. Nice in room amenities. Feels a lot fancier than expected for the price point. Has a nice rooftop bar. Main downside is it's close to an area where there are a lot of homeless people congregate and drug use late at night.” 15

- “Thompson Hotel: a few blocks away from the market. Nice in room amenities. Feels a lot fancier than expected for the price point.” 15
- “I just recently stayed at the four seasons and it's in a great location, but not worth it in my option.” 15
- “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.” 7
- “The Inn at the Market is more expensive but absolutely lovely, but every now and then I see deals come around that bring it in your price range.” 2
- “Inn at the Market: right next to Pike Place. Great water views. Nice rooms. Isn't as swanky as Four Seasons but it has a bit more of a personality. Expensive sometimes.” 15
