As Seattle in Washington has established itself as a top-tier city, its portfolio of opulent accommodations has grown in lockstep. Choose from soaring vantage points in the city center or someplace more secluded, and prepare to explore what this side of the Pacific Rim has to offer connoisseurs of the finer things in life.
Hotel Ballard
Hotel Ballard is a boutique hotel in one of Seattle’s most vibrant areas. Suite accommodations — some overlooking a courtyard, others overlooking bustling Ballard Avenue – have separate rooms with California king beds and full-size sleeper sofas.

Kimpton Palladian Hotel
The Kimpton Palladian Hotel is known for the windows that anchor its magnificent corner entry. It is chic and playful. Inside, the grandeur continues with terrazzo flooring and dark wood accents, such as lobby pictures of contemporary superstars reinterpreted in Napoleonic style. The guest rooms boast a calming mix of historic charm and modern flourishes (we adore the artistic Seattle maps). Some include a clawfoot tub with a separate shower.

Four Seasons Hotel Seattle
The Four Seasons Hotel Seattle’s light-filled rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Elliott Bay and deep soaking tubs. Enjoy fresh-caught fish and handcrafted cocktails at Goldfinch Tavern, the hotel’s collaboration with renowned local chef Ethan Stowell, either in your room or at the waterfront restaurant. Pike Place Market and the Seattle Art Museum are both within a block of the hotel.

Hotel Sorrento
Inspired by the Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento, Italy, this hotel opened in 1909 as a unique luxury seat in rough-and-tumble Seattle at the time. It has retained its elegant appeal, with wood-paneled public areas, comfy vintage furnishings, and artwork in the guest rooms (along with good local coffee). The Hotel Sorrento is located on First Hill, a short walk from downtown Seattle.

W Seattle
When you enter the W Seattle, you’ll immediately notice that it’s one of the city’s favorite meeting sites, with a bustling bar area that doubles as the lobby. The guest rooms are understated but uninteresting, with wood-paneled headboards framing plush beds and roomy, well-appointed bathrooms. Book a higher-floor accommodation to enjoy views of Mount Rainier, Elliott Bay, or the rest of the Downtown Seattle skyline.

The rooms are luxurious, and some feature views of the water. Additionally, guests can congregate at the Nest, the hotel’s rooftop lounge complete with lush greenery, comfy firepits, and panoramic views. A block away is Pike Place Market.
