Hampton Inn & Suites Seattle Downtown is a clean, contemporary mid-range hotel close to the many attractions at Seattle Center. The Space Needle, monorail to downtown, EMP Museum, and Pacific Science Center are all within a 10-minute walk of the hotel. The 198 rooms aren't exciting, but they offer the dependable, convenient, and modern product that marks the Hampton brand, including free Wi-Fi and access to a fitness center and free breakfast buffet featuring make-your-own waffles, as well as an additional menu of hot and cold items. Guests looking for a more stylish choice closer to Pike Place Market should try Motif, with high-end amenities and interesting design features at a slightly higher price point.

Two miles north of downtown overlooking a lake, the mid-range Silver Cloud Inn Seattle/Lake Union offers lots of bang for the buck away from the bustle of downtown. The hotel, part of a Pac-Northwest mini-chain, has lots of free perks including downtown shuttle service, secured parking, breakfast, and free Wi-Fi. Features go above and beyond as well: The indoor pool and hot tub and the fitness center are open 24 hours, and a large, comfortable third-floor lounge has a fireplace and a great lake view. The 184 rooms are contemporary and comfortable (if not stylish), and many have fireplaces. Those who prefer to be downtown should consider the boutique Mayflower Park, which has old-time elegance and a great location but no pool and limited technology.

This upscale boutique hotel, featuring 121 eclectic guestrooms that cater to every possible personality, is about as perfectly located as a downtown hotel can be. Many of Seattle’s most desirable sightseeing destinations are within easy walking distance, as are a vast selection of top-notch restaurants. It also sits right on First Avenue, directly above Puget Sound; a few rooms do have partial water views but many face neighboring buildings. Better harbor views can be found at hotels a few blocks north.

Luxurious it isn’t, but the Courtyard Seattle Downtown/Pioneer Square gets big points for its lively, well-chosen locale and no-nickel-and-diming attitude. Contemporary rooms may be on the small side, but they're pretty stylish for a chain and have up-to-date tech features. Given the captivating, historic neighborhood, you’ll likely spend little time in them.

This upscale hotel is located smack-dab in the heart of Downtown Seattle, within walking distance of major attractions like the Pike Place Market and the waterfront. It has gorgeous amenities that make it stand apart from most other hotels in the area, including a virtual golf system, a full-service spa with a wonderful (and expensive) menu of personalized treatments, and an acclaimed (and locally popular) restaurant on-site. The sexy, glass-enclosed bathrooms with tubs that fill from the ceiling and separate walk-in showers are arguably the highlight of the high-tech and modern (though somewhat dark) rooms. Overall, it's certainly luxurious, but the feel is that of a glossed-up Westin or Kimpton -- it lacks the nuances of a truly high-end brand, such as Rosewood.

You almost can’t go wrong with the Hyatt at Olive 8, which is known for its exceptionally high customer ratings, environmentally conscious design, and easy, walk-to-everything location. If you’re looking for a romantic lobby in which to have cocktails, you might want to head across the street to the dark and elegant Grand Hyatt; otherwise, be prepared to happily stay put.

Located smack-dab in the epicenter of downtown Seattle’ popular Belltown neighborhood, The Inn at El Gaucho is an intimate, second-story boutique hotel on top of El Gaucho steakhouse, featuring 18 spacious rooms. The hotel is ultra-convenient -- it’s walking distance to almost every popular Seattle attraction -- but has limited services (no elevator, no gym), so if you’re looking for a bit of pampering and luxury, you’ll probably want to head to a larger, more traditional venue.
