The full guide

Old brick and terra cotta in one direction, the stadiums in the other: Pioneer Square hotels put you close to both. Book the Courtyard by Marriott Seattle Downtown/Pioneer Square for a room inside the early 1900s Alaska Building, or choose the Silver Cloud Hotel Seattle Stadium, which faces T-Mobile Park on the district's southern edge. From either, Smith Tower, Occidental Square and the waterfront are just a short walk away.

Picking Your Pioneer Square Hotel

Your choice mostly depends on what brings you to town. If you are heading to a Mariners, Seahawks, Sounders or Reign match, you will love being steps from the stadiums. If old brick and terra cotta are what draw you here, you may prefer to sleep inside a historic building closer to the heart of the district.

Courtyard by Marriott Seattle Downtown/Pioneer Square

Here the building itself is part of the experience, since the hotel fills the Alaska Building, an early 1900s landmark. Many rooms look out over the bay, and some come with kitchenettes that make longer stays easy. Grab Starbucks coffee at the Bistro in the morning, fit in a workout at the 24-hour fitness center, and if you are traveling for business, take your pick of eight meeting spaces.

Landmarks Just Outside Your Door

Stay here and Seattle's oldest streets begin right where you step out. Build a morning stroll around a few of these favorites:

  • Gaze up at Smith Tower, the white terra cotta skyscraper that opened in 1914 and reigned as the West Coast's tallest building until 1962.
  • Head to Pioneer Square Park on Yesler Way to see its 50-foot Tlingit totem pole, a National Historic Landmark.
  • Start at Occidental Square for an easy look at the Lyon Building and the historic blocks around it.
  • Relax on the lawn at City Hall Park beside the King County Courthouse, which reopened in 2023 with a nightly art installation honoring Coast Salish voices.
  • Wander down to the Washington Street Public Boat Landing, a 1920 pergola on Alaskan Way S listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Exploring Beyond Pioneer Square

Both hotels sit within walking distance of Pike Place Market and the Seattle Waterfront, so plenty of visitors leave the car behind entirely.
