The mix of modern skyscrapers and historic brick buildings creates a dramatic cityscape that's best explored on foot.

Queen Anne

Queen Anne pairs iconic Seattle views with leafy residential charm. Kerry Park serves up postcard-perfect skyline shots with the Space Needle against Elliott Bay. The Seattle Centre campus buzzes with cultural heavyweights like Chihuly Garden and Glass and the Museum of Pop Culture. Victorian mansions line tree-canopied streets while Kinnear Park offers forested trails for nature lovers. Upscale bistros and area cafes dot the landscape, serving seasonal Pacific Northwest cuisine worth the splurge. Getting around is simple with tram connections and bus routes, though the steep hills make for challenging but rewarding walks.

Seattle and related destinations

Beneath rain-washed skies, Pike Place Market buzzes with fishmongers tossing salmon through the air and vendors arranging flowers in kaleidoscopic displays. The Space Needle offers obligatory views, but locals prefer watching ferries criss-cross Elliott Bay from Kerry Park's hillside perch. Duck into the original Starbucks (prepare for lines) before exploring the Seattle Aquarium's underwater world. The Gum Wall presents a strangely compelling (if slightly disgusting) public art installation near Pike Place. Catch performances at historic Moore Theatre or The Showbox, where music legends have graced the stage for decades. Seattle Centre houses museums beneath the Space Needle's watchful gaze, while cruise ships depart from Bell Street and Terminal 91 towards Alaskan adventures.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Seattle

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Seattle is in January, February, and December, when hotel prices are generally lower. For an enriching experience that covers the city's key landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During this time, visitors can explore urban landscapes, attend theatre performances, appreciate art in various museums, enjoy shopping, take in live music, and revel in the stunning scenery, including impressive skyscrapers. This makes for a great value-for-money trip, especially for those on a budget, as prices may drop during these months.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To explore last-minute deals to Seattle, begin by checking the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Dealsopens in new window sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches.

This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you'll be among the first to know for your spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could assist you in finding a better deal for your stay in a Seattle hotel.
