The Best Downtown Seattle Hotels
Seattle is often known as the Emerald City, the rainy city and the caffeine capital of the United States. Whatever draws one to Seattle, there are myriad activities and attractions to keep one busy from dawn until dusk. Seattle is a walker's city. However, a comfortable and luxurious hotel is made all the more necessary after a day spent walking the market, climbing the Space Needle and strolling through Pioneer Square. There is a luxury hotel in Seattle for every taste.
Types
There are hundreds of hotels, inns and motels in Seattle. It is impossible to find the best stay, but it is possible to find the right stay. Each downtown hotel is either easy walking distance or a short taxi ride away from the main attractions. The attractions include the Space Needle and the Seattle Center, the historic Pioneer Square District, Safeco and Quest Fields.
The Westin
The Westin is the classic stay for luxury travelers visiting Seattle. The fifth avenue hotel is a towering structure that offers a breathtaking view of Seattle from any angle. It's located around the corner from the Pacific Place and Westlake Center, Seattle's most prominent shopping center. Access to the city's new light rail system is easily accessible; so is the famous Pike Place Market.
