Meet the Two Hotels on the Piers
The Edgewater Hotel
Perched on Pier 67, The Edgewater is the only hotel in Seattle built over the water, and its views sweep across Elliott Bay to the Olympic Mountains. Music lore follows it everywhere: The Beatles stayed here and were photographed fishing from a window, and Led Zeppelin checked in over the years too. The style is rustic and warm, a natural match for couples, music fans and anyone who wants the bay right beneath the room.
Settle into one of the many over-water rooms with a balcony and a fireplace, and look for the balconies where Adirondack chairs face the mountains. Bring your pet along, since the hotel welcomes them, and hop on the shuttle to downtown attractions when you're ready to explore. You'll also find a fitness center and business services, Pacific Northwest dishes at Six Seven, the on-site restaurant, and a lounge over the water for guests 21 and older.
Seattle Marriott Waterfront
Along Elliott Bay at Pier 66, across from the cruise terminals, the Seattle Marriott Waterfront gives every guest room a view of the water and mountains. Recently renovated rooms carry a nautical theme throughout. Families, business travelers and cruise groups will appreciate a full-service base with room to spread out.
Take a dip in the indoor and outdoor pool, work out in the fitness center, or sit down at the restaurant and bar for its seasonal menu. For breakfast, head to Hook and Plow, at the hotel across from Bell Harbor Marina. Planners have more than 16,000 square feet of event space to work with, and guests with access can relax in the M Club lounge.
Rooms to Ask About
A few rooms at The Edgewater are a draw all on their own. Ask about these when you book:
- Beatles Suite: the over-water suite linked to the well-known photo of the band fishing from the window, roughly 750 square feet for two guests.
- Pearl Jam Suite: designed with Eddie Vedder and the band's fan club, an easy pick if you love Seattle music.
- Over-Water Junior Suite: about 450 square feet over Elliott Bay, with a private balcony, gas fireplace, king bed and sleeper sofa.
- City View Suite: a one-bedroom suite with a sleeper sofa that looks out on the downtown skyline rather than the bay.
At the Marriott, choose from standard guest rooms, larger rooms, suites and options with M Club lounge access. Rates shift by date and room type, so compare them directly on the hotel's site.
Steps from Your Door
Staying on the piers puts some of the city's most visited stops right at hand. Stroll a few minutes to Pike Place Market or the Seattle Aquarium, and from the Marriott, the Space Needle is a short trip away. Map out your sightseeing around these stops with our guide to Seattle landmarks.
The waterfront itself makes a lovely setting for a morning run or an evening walk along the bay. Between the hotels and the market, restaurants line the piers with chowder, seafood and casual lunch spots. Find more inspiration in our list of things to do in Seattle.
Plan Your Stay
Flying in for a cruise? Book the night before at either hotel and skip a stressful morning transfer. If you're staying longer, venture beyond the piers with help from our overview of Seattle neighborhoods for day trip ideas, and look up nearby green spaces in our guide to Seattle parks.
Before you book, check each hotel's own website for current rates, room details and policies.
