Best Hotels near Seattle Pacific University

The airy Pan Pacific's color scheme – with blond wood, tan marble and cinnamon accents – creates a warm atmosphere even in the dreariest of Seattle winters. The spacious rooms come equipped with high-tech perks like flat-screen TV's, complimentary high-speed wireless internet and programmable thermostats. And though some recent travelers say the Pan Pacific's location isn't the most convenient, others note that there's an easily accessible Whole Foods below the hotel, and the complimentary shuttle will take you into downtown Seattle. But you might not need to leave the property to indulge in tasty cuisine: this hotel is home to The Lobby Bar at Pan Pacific, and 24-hour room service is also available. 

Located about a mile north of Pioneer Square, Hotel Ändra is a boutique hotel adorned in a unique Scandinavian-meets-Northwestern style. In the living room-like lobby, simple, modern furnishings surround a stone fireplace, complete with stacks of wood at the ready. Recent guests give high marks to the hotel's central location and the friendly service staff members, who go above and beyond when it comes to meeting guests' needs. Though, many needs are met by the luxe amenities found in each of the hotel's 119 guest rooms. Accommodations feature goose down pillows, 37-inch flat-screen TVs and for those traveling on business, a spacious desk area. Whatever the reason for their stay, recent visitors applaud the two on-site restaurants – Lola's Pacific Northwestern cuisine and Assaggio Ristorante's Italian cuisine – as some of the best eats in the area. 

Though the Marriott Waterfront doesn't teeter on its own pier like The Edgewater, this hotel still boasts vistas of Elliott Bay. Popular with the cruising crowd, this Marriott property is right across the street from the cruise port, so occasionally those picturesque views will be blocked by a hulking boat. Still, most standard rooms come with balconies to better enjoy the fresh Seattle air. Inside your digs, you'll also find minifridges, 42-inch LCD TVs, in-room coffee makers and wireless internet access (for a fee). Some recent guests weren't impressed by their digs, though, saying the rooms were starting to show signs of wear and tear. Recent travelers did, however, love the fare at Hook & Plow, the on-site restaurant, but others remark that plates are a bit pricey compared to the other nearby eateries. Keep in mind that Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.
