Best DoubleTree by Hilton in Washington

The Arctic Club Seattle – originally built as a fraternal men's business club in 1916 – is all about honoring its Klondike Gold Rush heritage. The lobby is full of flourished crown molding, classic wood paneling, and black-and-white portraits of former club members (businessmen involved in Alaskan gold prospecting). Up on the third floor you'll even find taxidermy walrus heads from the prospecters' Alaskan adventures. Guest rooms keep in vintage step, but with modern touches like flat-screen TVs, in-room coffee makers and iPod docking stations. Recent travelers give high praise for this DoubleTree property's Pioneer Square locale as well as the Polar Bar and JUNO Restaurant on-site. Members of the Hilton Honors program are eligible to earn and redeem rewards points for staying here. 

For those who travel frequently, hotels can start to feel indistinguishable. The counter to this is all in the details – small, thoughtful touches make a memorable stay. At DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Seattle Airport in SeaTac, Washington, guests are greeted with DoubleTree's signature freshly baked chocolate chip cookies; friendly, multilingual staff; lots of natural light; free Wi-Fi; plenty of food and beverage options; and a balcony and flat-screen HDTV in every room. Less than 1 mile from the Seattle-Tacoma Airport and a train-ride away from downtown Seattle, the large hotel is home to an outdoor pool and whirlpool, convenience store, 26 meeting and event rooms, a business center with free printing, two fitness centers, a virtual golf course, three restaurants, a lounge and even a nightclub. Guests generally have positive experiences here, but keep in mind it's on the higher end of rates for the area. Pro tip: Limit leftovers – the rooms don't include minifridges, but you can pay a fee to get one for the duration of your stay. Hilton Honors members can earn and redeem points here.
