3 Best Hotels in The Eastside, Seattle

Timbers salvaged from a 19th-century warehouse are rustic counterpoints to sleek, modern design in this elegant spa hotel in the heart of Woodinville wine country. A stone fireplace dominates the lobby, and contemporary Native American prints and sculptures by local artists are spread throughout. Each large, elegant guest room has a gas-lighted stone fireplace and an oversize soaking tub. Wander the beautifully landscaped grounds, or pay a visit to the excellent on-site spa, which features beauty and rejuvenating treatments, as well as a hydrotherapy pool in a secluded courtyard. The hotel's Barking Frog restaurant is well-liked, while Fireside Cellars, Willows Lodge's casual lounge, often features live music and makes a relaxing spot to sip local wine after a day spent biking through the Eastside.

Near Bellevue Square and other downtown Bellevue shopping centers, the Hyatt looks like any other sleek high-rise but its interior is well-maintained and elegant with marble floors and a grand piano. Rooms are understated, with dark wood and earth tones predominating. Premier one- or two-bedroom suites include bar facilities and meeting rooms with desks and full-length tables. You'll have access to a health club and pool that share a courtyard with the hotel. The restaurant serves breakfast, and 50 restaurants and lounges are within the same sky bridge-connected complex. Request a room on a higher level for great views.

This restored historic seminary overlooks 326 acres of beautiful parkland, making it an incredible place to relax and take in the lush greenery of the Pacific Northwest. Perched at the top of the lake, it's convenient for getting to Woodinville Wine Country, but works just as well for staying put and wandering the hiking and biking trails. The well-appointed, modern rooms with classic architectural features like arched windows play into the chill vibes. On-site restaurants and bars serve menus inspired by local ingredients, while the library stays stocked with books, games, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks, free to all guests.
