Best Wedding Hotels in Seattle

Sitting about a block from the waterfront in downtown Seattle, the Four Seasons Hotel Seattle is sleek and polished with a few touches inspired by the region. Local artwork is on display throughout the property, and the popular Goldfinch Tavern serves Pacific Northwest fare paired with tasty cocktails and craft beers. Recent travelers compliment this Four Seasons property's highly attentive service staff. Many visitors also love the extra perks like the infinity pool and its views of both the Olympic Mountains and Elliott Bay. When it's time to retreat to your digs, you'll be greeted by plush terry bathrobes, down duvets and pillows, flat-screen TVs and iPod docking stations, among other luxe features. If you bring a vehicle to this property, though, be ready to shell out for expensive valet fees. 

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. 

This ultra-modern property is popular with trendy travelers. The dramatic backlit staircase takes center stage in the small lobby, but recent visitors also love the futuristic-looking fire pit in the adjacent sitting room. Guest rooms are a bit less flamboyant, decorated in dark earth tones with dramatic details like tubs that fill from the ceiling. Techies rejoice over the high-tech in-room phones that also show area dining options, as well as the flashy televisions that double as art displays. And the Hotel 1000 also has the city's only virtual-reality Golf Club that has more than 50 courses from around the world, including the Old Course at St. Andrews, Pinehurst No. 2 and Pebble Beach. Recent guests praised the on-site All Water Seafood & Oyster Bar for its contemporary West Coast inspired cuisine and its service. Now part of the Loews portfolio, rewards program members can enjoy perks here.

Nestled in the über-upscale suburb of Kirkland (guests here share vistas with Bill Gates' mansion), The Woodmark Hotel and Still Spa feels more like an exclusive resort than a hotel. Basic amenities include complimentary "Raid the Pantry" late-night snacks, cozy in-room chenille throws, flat-screen TVs and Molton Brown toiletries. And then there's the Still Spa, which features unique and luxurious treatments inspired by the Pacific Northwest. Recent travelers were also really impressed with their dinner at the Bin on the Lake restaurant and the stellar service staff throughout the Destination Hotel. The Beach Cafe is another waterfront dining option that guests love for its fresh fish selection. However, visitors were disappointed that you had to pay an additional nightly amenity fee. You'll find The Woodmark Hotel & Spa about 10 miles northeast of Seattle on a picturesque lakefront, and guests can enjoy the natural beauty of the area on complimentary bikes or kayaks. 

Seattle's only true waterfront hotel, The Edgewater balances on its own pier into the harbor, giving guests prime vistas of the Puget Sound. Of course, there's a catch: The waterfront rooms with balconies are smaller than those waterfront rooms without balconies. But trust us, the floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, the picturesque views through them and the claw-foot tubs in the bathrooms make up for the lack of floor space. Plus, recent travelers love the cozy, lodge-like feel of their rooms, especially the gas fireplaces. Recent guests do warn that walls are thin, though, and that some accommodations could use an update. Venture outside of your room and you'll find the waterfront Six Seven Restaurant, which serves up creative cuisine for three meals a day. 

Overlooking Snoqualmie Falls, the Salish Lodge & Spa makes guests forget they are less than 30 miles from downtown Seattle. These rustic yet refined accommodations are set in front of some spectacular waterfalls. While tourists will come for an hour just to snap a photo and move on, hotel guests can savor the atmosphere all day long. And despite its eerie past (the Salish was the setting for many macabre scenes in David Lynch's mystery television show "Twin Peaks"), guests feel exceptionally comfortable in the accommodations here. You'll be tempted to stay in your cozy room with its wood-burning fireplace and oversized bathtub. According to recent guests, one drawback is the price: The room rate, dining and resort fees all add up to an expensive stay. A few who hosted events at this property also experienced some miscommunication and weren't pleased with the event coordinators. Guests are more complimentary of the Spa at Salish Lodge, saying the treatments are worth the splurge. 

The Sorrento Hotel, built in 1909, is the oldest boutique hotel in Seattle. The vintage property is full of charming details like wrought-iron gates, a palm tree-laden courtyard and the cozy, eight-sided Fireside Room where guests can sit and relax. And classy extras like live jazz and traditional high tea help create an elegant atmosphere. Some recent travelers complain about the uphill commute to the hotel's First Hill neighborhood. When it's time to retire to your digs for the night, you'll find fully stocked honor bars, 42-inch flat-screen TVs, 400-thread-count linens and complimentary wireless internet access. 

Hotel Bellevue can be a bit of a commute, as it's located in Bellevue (about 10 miles east of downtown Seattle). But with complimentary access to the huge athletic club attached to the property complete with racquetball and squash courts, a running track and multiple pools, this hotel is a popular choice for fitness fanatics. Recent travelers love the ability to move from the free yoga classes to the hotel's on-site spa or to one of the hotel's on-site restaurants to indulge in a variety of cuisine. The Bellevue's 67 guest rooms feature amenities like 24-hour room service, elegant French doors and in-room fireplaces (in some rooms). For visitors who are looking to head off-campus, there's also a complimentary town car service.

Stylish since 1924, the Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle has stayed true to its elegant roots. Crystal chandeliers dangle delicately from the arched ceiling and a classical pianist performs at afternoon tea in The Terrace lounge. The Fairmont Olympic Hotel receives high praise for everything from its indoor swimming pool to its impeccable service staff to its convenient downtown location. Inside the 450 accommodations, lodgers find terry bathrobes, windows that open to let in the breeze, internet access (free for Le Club AccorHotels members) and goose-down duvets. But fair warning: The Fairmont is pricey, and so is the food at The Georgian Restaurant, though guests say the stay and the eats are worth the splurge. 

The Kimpton Hotel Monaco Seattle, located in the heart of downtown Seattle, is one of the most pet-friendly hotels in the city, with no fees or pet size restrictions. Special perks for your pet include pup room service menus, dog-sitting services and personalized itineraries. Recent travelers loved the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Seattle's boutique-y features, including the modern red-, gray- and white-themed guest rooms. Visitors also raved about the staff, saying everyone from the valet to the room service attendants makes you feel like you're a VIP. While you're staying at this branch of the Kimpton family, be sure to frequent the nightly wine receptions held in the lobby (which are covered by the property's daily $20 facilities fee). And as an added bonus, IHG Rewards Club members can receive perks here like minibar credits.

Nestled in the heart of the downtown area, this stylish W fits in well with the other ultra-mod hotels of Seattle. Board games are available in the Living Room lobby, local artwork is on display at the welcome desk and in-room spa treatments are available at the ready. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with Bliss bath products, pillow-top beds, flat-screen TVs and large, nearly floor-to-ceiling windows that boast city vistas. Most recent travelers compliment the service staff, as well as the food and atmosphere at the on-site restaurant, TRACE. Other guests were less pleased with the steep daily parking fees and length of time it took to get hot water in the showers. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

Nestled in downtown Seattle, this small Kimpton property is perfect for wine lovers. Guest rooms are named after the vineyards of Washington wine country and luxuriously decorated. And the complimentary evening wine hour – featuring tastings with local winemakers – is popular with travelers. Guests also love the comfy pillow-top beds, the yoga mats in every room, the complimentary coffee and the wireless Internet (that's complimentary for IHG Rewards Club members). They also compliment the friendly service staff. However, some guests express disappointment in the expensive parking rates. If you care for a bite to eat, Tulio Italian restaurant is a must-do, with notable cuisine and a pleasant ambiance.

Located about a mile north of Pioneer Square, Kimpton Alexis Hotel Seattle has eclectically decorated flair. Leather wing chairs are paired with stainless steel four-poster beds, and not one of the 121 guest rooms and suites has the same layout thanks to the quirky contours of this old building. But what really makes the Alexis a standout are its rotating art exhibits, found in the lobby and gallery room. There are also a handful of specialty suites, like the Spa Suite, with a two-person soaking tub with jets and separate walk-in shower. Recent travelers love this Kimpton property's convenient location, as well as its friendly service staff and adjoining bookshop/bar and grill, the Bookstore Bar and Café. Plus, guests can score extra perks for being part of the IHG Rewards Club loyalty program. 

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. 

This charming boutique hotel is nestled along the waterfront in Kirkland, a small suburb located about 11 miles northeast of downtown Seattle. The Heathman is all about personalizing your experience with options like the Art of Sleep Menu (available at booking), which allows you to chose from three mattress options. Other popular perks include complimentary transportation around Kirkland in a luxury hybrid SUV, daily happy hour and in-room French press coffee makers. But what really hits home with guests is the highly attentive service they receive from the hotel staff. This service extends to the on-site restaurant, Trellis, which serves farm-to-table American cuisine. Guests were wowed that the fresh ingredients came from executive chef Brian Scheehser's 18-acre farmland. 

The Hyatt at Olive 8 is the city's first hotel to be LEED certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. Everything – from the water system and the plumbing fixtures to the native plant-based landscaping – is designed with ecological efficiency in mind. Even the in-house restaurant, Urbane, touts its eco-friendliness, planning menus around the produce available from local farmers. Most love this Hyatt’s green practices as well as the convenient locale minutes from hot spots like Pike Place Market, though some recent travelers complain about thin walls and noise seeping in. Guest rooms feature iPod docking stations, 37-inch flat-screen TVs and Portico bath products. If you're a member of the brand's rewards program, you can earn extra perks and points toward free nights.

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. 

The Grand Hyatt Seattle is nestled in the Pioneer Square district, about a mile and a half inland from Elliott Bay. Rooms are plush with luxurious linens, down blankets and pillows and iPod docking stations. Although the larger rooms and suites are spacious, the basic double rooms may be a tight fit for more than two travelers. Recent visitors loved this Hyatt's location, but some complained that the service was average and employees were slow in handling requests. If you're willing to leave your room to dine, this property offers a few on-site eateries that range from Starbucks to Ruth's Chris Steak House. Members of Hyatt's rewards program have the option to earn and redeem rewards points at this Seattle property.

Located in Bellevue, the Hyatt Regency isn't exactly the immersive downtown Seattle experience. Still, most guests don't seem to mind. Recent travelers love how close this Hyatt property is to the creative restaurant scene and best shopping malls in the area. And though this hotel is popular with conventioneers, its accommodating service staff gets high marks from all sorts of travelers. Guests find the rooms comfortable and clean; accommodations are stocked with amenities like iPod docking stations, flat-screen TVs, in-room coffee makers and access to room service dining. But there's little need to spend time in your room when the hotel offers nine eateries and bars, a 7,000-square-foot gym and a heated indoor pool. Also, members of Hyatt's rewards program can earn and redeem points for their stays here.

With its downtown Bellevue locale, this Westin is popular with business travelers. It's just minutes from the corporate offices of Microsoft, Nintendo of America and T-Mobile, among others. Downtown Bellevue's dining options are right at your door, but it's also close to downtown Seattle – just 10 miles west. Recent guests generally give this Westin great marks for its service staff and Heavenly Bed and Bath products, but there are some who complain about extra charges for things like parking and in-room internet access. Travelers recommend asking for a room on the upper floors for a quieter stay. The on-site Cyprus Lounge & Wine Bar serves up American cuisine in a casual setting and has a wide selection of wine for your inner sommelier. Or venture across the street to more dining and shopping options at the Bellevue Square Mall. If you're a member of the Marriott Bonvoy program, take note: You can earn and redeem points and gain access to extra perks through the rewards program.

Located in the downtown area, the Renaissance Seattle Hotel is a mile from Pike Place Market and the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners fields. Recent travelers had positive experiences with the service staff, from speedy and pleasant check-ins to diligent cleaning service. Guest rooms are of fairly standard Renaissance quality: The rooms are clean, comfortable and stocked with amenities like Aveda bath products, plush bedding and minfridges. But some do complain about this Marriott property nickel and diming on arguable necessities, such as the $12.95 daily fee for in-room wireless internet and the pricey daily parking fee. When it comes to saving money, Marriott Bonvoy members can use points toward perks and free stays.

Situated in the downtown area, The Westin Seattle's circular-shaped towers offer panoramic views of the Seattle cityscape, Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Inside, the rooms are decked out in typical Westin style with Heavenly Beds, Heavenly Bath products and wireless internet access (for a fee). Recent travelers love the convenient locale, minutes from Pike Place Market and a block away from the Westlake Ave & Olive Way streetcar station. But the Westin Kids Club provides reason to keep the whole gang on premises with amenity kits tailored to different age groups. For some adult indulgence, splurge on an in-room spa treatment, enjoy classic American fare at Relish Burger Bistro or sling back a drink at the Lobby Bar. Some recent guests felt the property wasn't well maintained considering the downtown room rates, and a few were disappointed with the high fees for internet access and parking. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

The Sheraton Grand Seattle is one of the largest properties in the city; so needless to say, it's popular with the convention crowd. But with its spacious rooms, stellar pool and city views, this Sheraton is great for families and tourists, too. Accommodations feature 32-inch flat-screen TVs, coffee makers stocked with Starbucks coffee, bathrobes, minibars and wireless internet access (for a fee). Vacate your digs for a meal of contemporary American cuisine at The Daily Grill or stop in a drink at the Fountain Wine Bar. Despite its plethora of amenities, some recent travelers complain that this huge hotel feels a bit impersonal and could use an update, but most compliment the impeccable service staff and great location. You'll find this downtown hotel on Sixth Avenue. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

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.

Boasting a quirky mantra – "where elegant meets edgy" – the Palladian certainly lives up to its superlatives, according to recent guests. Visitors say everything from the hotel's pristine rooms and the friendly front desk staff to Shaker + Spear's meals and Pennyroyal bar's craft cocktails was impressive. Like other Kimpton properties, the Palladian hosts a daily wine hour, it offers in-room spa services, it's pet-friendly and Kimpton Karma rewards members can get "Raid the Bar" credits, earn reward nights and enjoy free in-room internet access. Speaking of rooms, the hotel's accommodations come with large work desks, funky decor and beds with pillow-top mattresses and Frette linens. Other on-site amenities available to guests include a 24-hour gym and free loaner bikes to cruise around Seattle. You'll find the Palladian downtown, near many of the city's top sights like Pike Place Market and the Seattle Art Museum.
