Top 5-Star Hotels in Seattle

I was determined to book this hotel for our 20th wedding anniversary trip to Seattle, which is good, because frustrations with the All.com, fairmont.com websites and the Accor ALL app made it a challenge to actually do so. When I finally booked, I put a note on the booking that it was a very special occasion. We arrived by cab. While the four bellmen at the front did help unload the luggage, they also told us we seemed capable of carrying the bags in ourselves. I'm not sure if that's because we didn't arrive in an upscale SUV, or if the hotel just takes a passive approach to greeting guests. The underwhelming continued when we checked in, and I was asked what brought us to Seattle. I reiterated what was on the booking -- very special anniversary, chose to come to the Olympic Hotel to celebrate. ”Oh, congratulations. Elevators are behind you across the lobby.”. As a platinum member, a certain number of perks are granted. We arrived to a plate of bonbons and some fresh fruit. It's the fist hotel I've stayed at that actually did supply fitness gear (per Platinum perks), which was a nice surprise. I was less pleasantly surprised to find no mini-bar in the room, not even an empty fridge. I'd booked the Signature King Corner View, and it had what is likely one of the best views in the hotel. The room was nicely sized, with a desk, sitting chair and ottoman, and the king bed, with windows all around. The bed was super comfortable (as expected!). The bathroom was spacious, but in need of renovation -- at very least, to replace the old, tiny tub/shower and under-pressured, inferior shower fixtures, as well as the tile throughout. It was clean, or at least mostly, and while towels were showing some age, they were still fluffy. Amenities were a bit more limited than other properties, but we knew we could call down for extras if we needed to. Staff in hallways were friendly, and anything left in the hallway seemed to disappear quickly enough (ie room service trays and other detritus). Requests for amenities (pillows, coffee/tea replenishment) were met quickly and graciously. But... the door/bellmen were routinely disinterested -- the number of times we pushed through the main doors while they stood off to the side talking to one another was surprising. (Guests arriving in elegant dresses? Lots of help. In a shiny SUV or luxury car? Loads of reaction. But two 40-somethings dressed casually, but paying plenty to stay at the hotel? Not so much a glance or offer of help.) Housekeeping is rather annoyingly ”on demand only”, but we happily found our room had been serviced on our first day while we were out -- and when we called on subsequent days to request service, the response was gracious -- and the room was always done by the time we returned. Room service (breakfast one morning) was fast and delicious. Service in the lobby bar was friendly and the drinks were delicious. There are two restaurants -- The George and Shuckers -- and the lobby bar offers

Great location right near Pike Market and with Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse on the ground floor... very modern design and quiet rooms... service is very friendly and water bottles in the room are complimentary. Sauna, steam, and gym are relaxing and very well kept, only concern was they advertised a lap pool which is no longer in the hotel.

Breakfast is a la carte and can be eaten twice. The location of the hotel is convenient for travel. Pike Market, Space Needle, and Columbia Center are all within walking distance. The pier to the island is also nearby Free and delicious coffee, fruit, etc. are provided in the lobby in the morning and evening at different times every day

Newer hotel, everything is expensive 😂, toothbrush and toothpaste have to bring your own, if you want the hotel to have a set of 20 dollars, parking fee 60 dollars a day, and finally you need to pay the city fee and tax, the room is very clean, the scenery is very good, we live in a sea view room, you can watch the sunrise and sunset on the bed, Walking can reach many attractions

I stayed at the Lotte Hotel for a business meeting. The rooms were very comfortable and well stocked with a Nespresso machine, tea kettle, coffee and tea, and high quality toiletries. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, and the desk was well situated for getting work done. I did not dine in the restaurant, but all of the food and beverage for the meeting was excellent. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is very convenient to many restaurants, and it is about a 15-20 minute walk to the Public Market. I would definitely stay here again.

Positives Loved how clean and modern the hotel is!! Really gave excellent vibes as you step in. The room was SPARKLING CLEAN. Every corner. Much appreciated. The hotel gave four bottles of water daily.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The tourist fee gave lots of benefits such as the $15 daily credit which was much appreciated. The area the hotel was in felt largely safe in its vicinity. There were lists of info given. Negatives I arrived on thanksgiving and asked front desk if there were any available food offerings near the hotel and got non-answers…. I walked around everywhere only to realise most shops were shut. I felt that front desk could be more helpful. Was locked out of the room when the battery for the door died. I had to go up and down and request for front desk to accompany me up to ensure the door could be quickly fixed. Felt likee there could be more initiative from front desk esp in situations like these which I know isn’t their fault, more of a property issue. But a little initiative goes a long way. The blanket was really thin and didn’t feel like a proper bedding. But overall, I enjoyed my stay.

Room could have been cleaner, but amenities and staff were both excellent in helping us get a great stay. The bed topper must have been hard to clean for staff and the floor was dirty, but we had it get recleaned and this was fixed. Staff were super helpful and the room tech was a fun feature to have.

I arrived a bit early and dropped bag and got an email to say my room was ready not long after so got to check in early. Everything just works here - friendly staff, all as expected. Gym is awesome and clean too.

Came here for a convention and the walking distance was great. Plenty of restaurants around that you can walk to as well. Hotel was very clean and staff was friendly. They also have rolling carts for your luggage (not every hotel has them apparently). If you are wondering how to check in, you can stop up front real quick and then park. It took us a couple rounds around the block to figure out where to pull in at but that’s to be expected in a city with lots of buildings and parking. The parking is rough for a large SUV but we managed! Absolutely recommend! Worth every penny.

Great venue in terms of location. Staff very helpful. The real downer was the cleaning.Although our room was cleaned to good standard, the public area was not. One of the rooms opposite had a discarded cleaners black glove outside on the floor for 2 days. Also by the lifts on the 26th floor was a discarded coffee cup on the table. This was left there when we arrived and was still there when we checked out.
