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.

Safeco Field was the highlight of our stay in Seattle.
Safeco Field was the highlight of our stay in Seattle. The streets are dirty and riddled with homeless people. If you are planning to take in several attractions I recommend the City Pass for convenience and economical reasons. The Chihuly Garden and Glass was more beautiful than I expected, but not recommended for children. Museum of Pop Culture offers a little for the whole family.

I spent most my time at the Key Arena at the International Dota 2 Tournament. That was great. Seattle in general is beautiful. Plenty of things to do & places to see. Staying in the middle of it all is great because we walked to all of our destinations with no problem. It is a bit expensive so you do need to have plenty of spending money if you want to enter the major attractions. This is my 2nd visit to Seattle & I love it.

I was surprised to see so many homeless people lying about on benches all over the city, day and night. I also live in a large city with a homeless population, but I feel our mayors (past and present) have made great strides in providing more shelters and programs to help reduce the homeless numbers. Seeing so many homeless people here in Seattle, made me wonder what programs and shelters are in place for Seattle's homeless and just how much effort is going into reducing the Seattle's homeless population.

Great city to visit with older school aged children.
Great city to visit with older school aged children. Lots of interesting things to do. We learned many things about how the city came to be during the Gold Rush days. And the good and bad decisions made by city planners. Highly recommend the B. Spiedel Underground Tours in Pioneer Square to develop an appreciation for Seattle's rich history.

The pike place market was a great highlight for us!
The pike place market was a great highlight for us! We also took the Bain bridge ferry across from the city, beautiful way to spend the day! Main reason for trip was a concert at the century link stadium. Amazing venue! The light rail is best way to travel through Seattle! Uber was an alternative every driver we had was friendly and fast! We loved our visit to the city.

Bad-Terrible traffic, was unusually hot 90's while we were there. Expensive . Bad homeless problem the city needs to do more about helping the homeless . Had terrible air quality due to forest fire smoke.
Incredible amount of construction adding to chaos. With all the building meaning more people , jobs and homeless Seattle is heading for a big mess if they do not start doing more to address their Urban issues.
Good-Beautiful city, lots to do.
“The Fairmont is in an excellent location: short walk to the waterfront (Aquarium, Harbor Cruise, Food); short walk to Pike's Market; decent walk to Space Needle and glass museum; a block away from the transit system to the SeaTac Airport. They kept our luggage safe both before and after our stay when we weren't checked into the room. The hotel is what you expect from a Fairmont - excellent. Bed was great, staff wonderful.”
“Great location for spending time at the Seattle Center Pavilion. Close to the monorail that takes you downtown and Pike Place market and the waterfront.”
“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. ”
“The hotel has a good location, it's close to the waterfront and downtown and some popular attractions. Spacious, clean and comfortable room, and nice front desk services.”
“The staff and price for the room was amazing. It's located 0.5 miles from the space needle and walking distance from the waterfront, pike market place and downtown Seattle. The staff was great. We checked out at 11am, but they held our bags till 10pm. I would stay hear again although the room is a little outdated.”
