Crowne
Plaza 1113 6th Avenue (6th
& Seneca), Seattle, WA 98101 Views from this
mirrored skyscraper are some of Seattle's best. But the Crowne Plaza's biggest
draw is the host of well appointed, business-oriented rooms rising from the
financial mix downtown. The Crowne's business center is open early, and the
hotel's nine meeting rooms, including an executive boardroom, make it a home
office away from home. For questions or to

The
Edgewater 2411 Alaskan Way,
Seattle, WA 98121 The only hotel on
Seattle's waterfront is a luxury lodge, with only a wall of glass separating you
from city's best eye-level views of Elliott Bay, Puget Sound and the Olympic
Mountains. In 1964, the Beatles took this closeness to a new level and fished
off the waterfront balcony. With smooth river-stone fireplaces throughout,
rustically refined lodge-pole furniture and a nearby, but quiet location just
blocks away from Seattle's bustling Pike Place Market, the Edgewater is the
distilled essence of water-wonderland Seattle. Elliott
Grand Hyatt Seattle 721 Pine St.,
Seattle, WA
Nearly brand new, the Elliott Grand Hyatt hotel has taken hold as Seattle's
premier kicking-back spot for conventioneers. To that end, the posh luxury
highrise hotel is packed with high-tech options, including high-speed network
connections in guestrooms and meeting facilities alike. Views of sleek financial
district skyscrapers from nearly every room add to this sophisticate's appeal.

Pacific Plaza Hotel 400 Spring Street,
Seattle, WA 98104 Even though the
Pacific Plaza Hotel underwent extensive renovations in 2001, the hotel's rates
are only a notch higher than Space Needle motel prices. Some rooms in this
European-style hotel (built in 1928) can be small, but price and a prime
location -- walk to Seattle's main attractions like Pike Place Market, the
waterfront and the Seattle Art Museum -- turn small into charming.
La
Quinta Inn - Downtown 2224 8th Ave.,
Seattle, WA 98121 Mayflower
Park Hotel 405 Olive Way,
Seattle, WA 98101 Many a weary shopper
have passed through the Mayflower's doors dreaming of warm showers and shaken
martinis. Connected to Seattle's Westlake Center, across the street from the Bon
Marche and down the street from Nordstrom, the historic Mayflower's eclectic
European styling and city-renowned Oliver's Lounge comfort both money spenders
and makers. The hotel's aromatic Andaluca restaurant, brimming with the
well-dressed, is a Mediterranean tour-de-force.

Madison Hotel 515 Madison Street,
Seattle, WA 98104 Situated in the
heart of downtown, the Madison caters to the more affluent exec and
conventioneer, as well as leisure travelers looking for an elegant Seattle
mainstay. A large hotel, the Renaissance is still quiet and offers eye-expanding
views of Puget Sound from its Prego restaurant and indoor rooftop pool, an
astral choice for lapping. Close to the waterfront between Pike Place Market and
Pioneer Square, the Madison is within walking distance to downtown shopping,
dining, and nightlife. Roosevelt
Hotel 1531 7th Avenue,
Seattle, WA 98101 Vintage 1920s, the
Roosevelt's lobby is like an old mansion's musing library, only jazzed up with
fire-lit performances. Guestrooms are small, but the large personal touches,
like a friendly staff, class and plush bathrobes, as well as a prime downtown
location, steps from shopping, dining, and waterfront attractions, overshadow
raw square footage.
Sorrento
Hotel 900 Madison Street,
Seattle, WA 98104 Seattle's oldest
operating luxury hotel showcases Mediterranean architecture and opulence with a
Northwest knack. First opened in 1909 the Sorrento offers glorious touches like
a chauffeured town car for cruising downtown, hot water bottles for frosty
winter toes and a rooftop garden green against city lights. The Sorrento's Hunt
Club is one of Seattle's most privileged restaurants and the Fireside Lounge
purveys classy firewaters in a toasty setting. Warwick
Hotel 401 Lenora Street,
Seattle, WA 98121 Look out from your
balcony on the Warwick's North side, and the Seattle Space needle is close
enough to touch. The lobby and rooms are done in fine woods and soft colors, and
the hotel boasts a pool, sauna and workout room for its business patrons. The
Warwick even offers free shuttle rides to your downtown dates, as well as to
shopping, dining and nightlife. Or if you prefer the fresh Sound air, walk to
the Convention Center, the Seattle Opera House and Pike Place Market.
Westcoast
Grand Hotel 1415 5th Avenue,
Seattle, WA 98101 Leaving the dark
wood to Olympic Mountain forests, the Westcoast Grand, unlike many downtown
Seattle hotels, favors a subdued look with an olive and red lobby and sleek
guestrooms. Set in the center of downtown, the Grand overlooks both Pike Street
and Puget Sound, and is steps away from Pike Place Market, the Space Needle
monorail and the Seattle Art Museum.
Westcoast
Vance 620 Stewart St.,
Seattle, WA 98101 Built by lumber
baron Joseph Vance in the 1920s, there's no shortage of rich-wood paneling in
the lobby and unexpected charm in the guestrooms. Recently restored beyond its
original decadence, the Vance is blocks from all that is downtown Seattle:
financial megaliths, Pike Place Market, the Paramount Theatre and all those
millions of square feet of shopping.

downtown Seattle, WA
There is no better home base from which to shop Seattle than the downtown
Hilton, which shares a neighborhood with Nordstroms, Pacific Place mall, and
Nike Town, along with plenty of boutiques. The Hilton hotel matches Nordstrom's
for renowned customer service, so when you're ready to drop from shopping, you
can be assured of finding help with your bags. (Review by Traci Vogel) Seattle
Hotel 315 Seneca Street,
Seattle, WA 98101 Sheraton
Seattle Hotel Towers 1400 Sixth Street,
Seattle, WA 98101 The Sheraton's
Towers are as much a part of the Seattle skyline as is the Space Needle. In the
financial district and renovated in 2002, the hotel is an even better bet for
business travelers, while luxury seekers won't snub the Sheraton's
discriminating Club and Tower rooms and proximity to shopping, nightlife, and
fine dining. With five ballrooms, Fuller's restaurant, and a heated pool on the
top floor with sweeping views, the Sheraton Seattle has it all - including a
contented and ready-to-serve staff.
