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.

Being able to walk from the city centre down to the...
Being able to walk from the city centre down to the waterfront via Pike Place Market was good. Good train link to Pioneer Square with its unique book shops but it's so sad that the number of homeless on the streets appears to have increased over the last few years; it's a sad reflection of how the gap between the wealthy and the poor continues to grow and this affluent city doesn't appear to be improving the situation for those who live on the streets and in 'tent city'.
Seattle still remains one of my favourite cities in the world. Sad to find McRory's Oyster Bar near the Seahawk Stadium has closed, it was full of old world atmosphere but found excellent food at 'Elysian Fields'. Still love sitting by the window in the 'Sound View Cafe' in Pike Place Market where they continue to produce great fresh seafood dishes i.e. Clam Chowder and Crab Cakes. Accessible 'Sam' art museum with terrific exhibits.

Pop culture museum was the best.
Pop culture museum was the best. Space needle should just shut down during renovations it was not worth the money. Cafe at pike place was awesome! Pullman vs Paxton put on a fantastic show of heathers!!!

Great hospitality all around - diverse and friendly populace!
Great hospitality all around - diverse and friendly populace! The Romanesque revival is beautifully executed throughout city's architecture. Weather in mid-April is still very winter-like - chilly, rainy and cloudy.
“Location easily reached from airport, easy to walk to waterfront and central Seattle. Very clean, non-traditional, beautiful rooms, excellent and helpful staff, energy-conscious”
“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.”
“Friendly staff, the front counter associates were very interested in taking feedback and asking how my stay was. Easily the best location in downtown Seattle, just steps from the market. Very clean, great restaurant and rooftop bar. The Nest had one of the best views of the city.”
