It’s hard to go wrong with this top luxury hotel that has, arguably, some of the best views in the city, not to mention a restaurant with an acclaimed Seattle chef, a rooftop infinity pool, and 147 spacious, classically comfortable rooms. The business-y surroundings might preclude the opulence of other, larger Four Seasons properties, but what you lose in neighborhood ambience you gain in vistas and proximity to the best Seattle attractions.

Located on a quieter block of downtown Seattle, this stylish two-pearl boutique hotel dates back more than 100 years and offers a variety of rooms ranging from small European-style spaces with shared bathrooms to a large suite with a separate living room and a kitchenette. All rooms are all nicely decorated with unmistakable charm, and many are considerably more affordable than what's on offer at many downtown hotels. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel but can be weak in places. Keep in mind that parking is not available on-site and breakfast is not included. The nearby Belltown Inn is another value option nearby, and it has a rooftop deck and free bikes to borrow.

The Warwick Seattle, a contemporary upper-middle-range hotel, offers a prime location between Belltown and downtown. Shopping and dining, many major sights, the monorail to the Space Needle, and the Link Light Rail are all within an easy walk. The 231 rooms are spacious, and have Juliet balconies or terraces. The Warwick also has a fitness center and an on-site restaurant, though breakfast is only included in some room rates. Travelers seeking a more upscale vibe can check out the nearby Pan Pacific or Grand Hyatt Seattle, but rates are higher, and unlike the Warwick, neither has a pool.

The upscale, 450-room Fairmont Olympic is a well-established hotel -- opened in 1924 -- where classical design and modern comforts merge. Set a 10-minute walk from the iconic Pike Place Fish Market, the hotel has an excellent downtown location. Beautiful, relaxing rooms were updated in 2016 and have modern amenities like minibars, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers. The on-site oyster bar is one of the oldest in the city, and a more formal restaurant serves delicious meals, plus afternoon tea. The property includes an impressive list of features, including a heated pool, oversized whirlpool, well-equipped fitness center, and a spa. Business-friendly features include grand ballrooms, meeting space, and a business center, but Wi-Fi is only free for Presidents Club members. For a more laid-back atmosphere and eclectic design, check out Kimpton Alexis Hotel, situated a block from the harbor.

The 195-room Homewood Suites Seattle Convention Center Pike Street is a straightforward, mostly modern hotel that's a solid pick for business travelers. It's one block from the Washington State Convention Center and there are two meeting rooms along with other business services. Pike Place Market is also a 15-minute walk from the hotel. Studios plus One- and Two-Bedroom Suites have kitchens and sitting areas, and some have fireplaces and/or balconies. A year-round pool, hot tub, gym, and a stylish lounge with video games are all nice-to-have additions. The free breakfast, a 24-hour market, and a free grocery service don't hurt either. For something with boutique atmosphere and style in the same price range, travelers should investigate the Hotel Five, though it's not as close to the convention center.

This Holiday Inn caters to business travelers, but is also popular with tourists largely because of its location a few blocks from some of the city’s big attractions, including the Space Needle, the Pacific Science Center, the Experience Music Project, and the Key Arena. The 196 rooms have basic decor but are clean and bright. There’s a decent restaurant on-site that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, a small gym, and standard business amenities, including free Wi-Fi. It’s worth comparing rates with some non-chain hotels that have a little more personality, such as the Mediterranean Inn.
