Belltown, slightly north and within walking distance of Downtown, has some of the city's trendiest hotels. It's a great place to stay if you plan to hit the bars and clubs in the neighborhood. Belltown hotels are convenient (and within walking distance) to many major sights—including the Seattle Art Museum, Pike Place Market, and the Olympic Sculpture Park.
This Kimpton property, a 1910 landmark, strikes a masculine-chic tone. Think tufted leather, vintage brass, and cheeky portraits of local icons like Jimi Hendrix, Bill Gates, and Frasier Crane. The eclectic suites feature barn doors, marble bathrooms, and petite claw-foot tubs. Downstairs, Shaker + Spear serves refined Pacific Northwest seafood, while the dark, stylish Pennyroyal bar mixes pitch-perfect cocktails for a drizzly Seattle night.
