Boutique Hotels in Seattle, WA

We’ve all heard of the iconic medical drama Grey's Anatomy and likely seen images of the famed Space Needle, but what else is Seattle known for? This burgeoning Washington city by the bay is home to a growing tech industry, hundreds of top restaurants and bars, and endless museums to discover, among many other incredible sights. Surrounded by water, evergreen forests, and thousands of acres of parkland, you have an entire outdoor playground at your fingertips during your stay in the Emerald City.

Home to a rapidly expanding tech industry, it’s not uncommon to overhear a symphony of tech deals being closed in the city streets while out for a stroll in trendy Belltown. With major tech giants headquartered in its metropolitan area, there are a ton of shopping, dining, and entertainment options surrounding the booming industrial center. Taking a walk down Broad Street, you can’t miss one of the most iconic landmarks in the country: the Seattle Space Needle. The city’s futuristic 1962 World’s Fair legacy is wrapped in a fascinating Cold War history and stands tall at a daunting 605 feet. This homage to “The Age of Space” boasts breathtaking views from its observation deck and a rotating restaurant, both open to the public. Well worth the visit, you can spend an afternoon with the birds while enjoying a beverage or two from above.

A symphony of trendy shops, cocktail bars, Indie clothing boutiques, and upscale restaurants fill the sidewalks of Belltown, making it the idyllic setting for afternoon window shopping or gallery hopping. Busiest across 1st and 2nd avenues, cozy cafes, and moody happy hours can easily inspire locals and tourists to enjoy a break from the bustle of the busy city. Stay out late enough, and you can catch a live show from one of the many nightclubs, music venues, and old rock staples of the city. Then for a needed nature fix, spend an afternoon drinking in expansive Puget Sound views from Olympic Sculpture Park, which offers well-maintained trails, unique outdoor art installations, and beach access to boot!
