The Emerald City
Nicknamed the Emerald City due to its lush greenery, Seattle is best known for its great waterfront, fantastic skyline and infamous rainy weather. In reality though, the city gets less rain a year than New York or Atlanta!
One look at Seattle’s skyline and you’re immediately drawn to the iconic Space Needle. Standing proudly at 600 feet, this major landmark features a rotating restaurant at 490 feet and has been featured in numerous films and TV shows, including the classic "Sleepless in Seattle."
The Needle isn't far from the popular Pike Place Market, a public farmer’s market selling fresh produce and crafts from local farms and independent merchants. It’s also the place where the Starbucks Corporation was founded in 1971. Enjoy a cup of coffee in their original store!
Seattle has many popular parks and, thanks to its mild marine climate, is a great place for outdoor activities. A visit to Kerry Park to admire the best view of the city with Mt. Rainier in the background is a must!
Arriving at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, you’re only about 35 minutes from downtown and whether you’re looking for a hotel with free parking or near the airport, Booking.com has a great choice for your Seattle trip.

I love Seattle!
I love Seattle! So vibrant and beautiful. Pike place is great - try Ivar's House of Clams - we ate in and had a lovely salmon dinner as we watched the ferries and the sqawking gulls. Stay in a downtown hotel to really feel a part of this engaging city. So much going on, great shopping, food and wine. Very easy to get around. Leave your car and stroll! You'll be happy you did!

Lots of fun things to see and do!
Lots of fun things to see and do! Pikes Market, Space Needle, Starbucks, ferries to San Juans and Victoria, good seafood, Snoqualmie Falls, hiking in the Cascades, Olympic National Park, Mt. Rainier. Wished we'd taken a seaplane ride! Loved seeing them take off and land at Lake Union. However, we were surprised by the congested roads at most times of the day. We couldn't get away from that and it was tiring sitting in traffic. And didn't know the city streets were so steep.

Drivers in Seattle will run you over!
Drivers in Seattle will run you over!! Even if you have the walk sign they will come zooming up and stop on the crosswalk. Heard allot of cars blowing their horns at other cars all over the city. Seems like Seattle drivers have road rage issues!!

Seattle is a great city to explore with lots of characters, restaurants and culture coupled with hallowed sports franchises and you have an awesome time waiting to happen. Go to the international district and try one of the many places to eat surrounded by quirky culture and the tech boom.

We were only there for an overnight stay before leaving on a cruise, but had time to go to dinner. We went to Cutters for seafood and it was wonderful! We noticed a lot of locals eating there, so we knew it had to be good, but it was great!

The only difficult thing for a pedestrian visiting Seattle...
The only difficult thing for a pedestrian visiting Seattle is how to gain access to the waterfront from Downtown. Public transportation from The Link, to buses, to the Monorail all make it very easy for a pedestrian to navigate this great city but it can be difficult to get to the docks.
When one nears Alaskan Way, it can be hard to find access down to the shore front. Once I took the ferry to Bainbridge Island (wonderful trip!), I happened across the walkway straight from the Ferry to First Avenue. These access points, few and far between, should be better marked.
The concentration of attractions, easy to get to otherwise, is amazing! I could easily get from Woodland Park Zoo to Downtown to all the special attractions near the Space Needle to ferries to the Aquarium and to my favorite shore front eatery for seafood, the iconic Ivar's at its location since 1938!
“Rooms are beautiful. I love that there is complimentary coffee and tea all day. Breakfast was very good as well. Also this hotel is in a great location for an affordable price for enjoying downtown Seattle.”
“Great staff. Very well located and a boutique hotel vibe. Located between Seattle Space Needle Park and Pike Market. Near Clipper Ferry Terminal in the Belltown area. ”
“We arrived around 10:30 AM knowing that check in wasn't until 3 PM. My daughter had a dental emergency. The hotel was able to get us in to a room within 15 minutes and arranged transportation to the dentist which was about 20 minutes away by cab. We could not have asked for better service. The shuttle to Pike Place Market and the downtown area was great. The drivers were friendly and extremely helpful in suggesting where to eat and what to see and they were always on time. We would definitely stay here again if we go back to Seattle.”
“My daughter booked this hotel for me to stay overnight. I really liked it for its simplicity and its location, right in the heart of Downtown Seattle. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff was helpful in giving her directions to the car rental office.”
