The full guide

Pike Place Market, the Space Needle and the Seattle Convention Center all sit within walking distance of one big downtown tower. That tower is the Hyatt Regency Seattle, at 808 Howell Street, known as the largest hotel in the Pacific Northwest, with on-site dining, a 24-hour gym and pet-friendly rooms. Nearby Hyatt, Marriott and Hilton hotels give you different trade-offs in location and amenities, so you can match your stay to your trip.

Downtown, Waterfront or Lakeside: Choose Your Base

The big-brand hotels around Seattle fall into three rough groups. Stay in a downtown tower to keep the convention center and the shops close at hand, or book a waterfront hotel on Elliott Bay if you are boarding a cruise. Head south of the city to a lakeside resort when you would rather trade walkability for space and quiet water views.

Think about how you will get around before you settle on one. Downtown hotels let you walk to the major sights, while the lake option suits drivers who also want quick access to Sea-Tac Airport or Bellevue.
