Seattle is one of the most popular destinations on the West Coast, which also means its hotel rates are among the highest on the coast. One great way to save money and explore this region is to stay in one of Seattle’s beautiful suburbs. In this article, we’ll explore three of those suburbs and five of the area’s best hotels.
Seattle Area Attractions
Seattle has something for every type of traveler. Into museums? Check out the Seattle Art Museum, the Museum of Flight, or the Experience Music Project Museum. Like natural attractions? Head to the ocean shores or nearby Lake Union, explore the countless acres of green space, or head out to Seward Park or Mount Teneriffe. Like to visit the major icons? Head straight for the Space Needle or the Seattle Great Wheel. You won’t want to miss the city’s many fine dining options, music venues, theatres, or festivals, either.
Bellevue: The Hilton, Hyatt, and Sheraton
The Hilton Bellevue offers all the luxuries you would expect from this brand. From an on-site gym and a range of spa services to comfortable rooms with oversized bathrooms, this hotel has it all. The location is just 15 minutes from downtown Seattle, and it’s walking distance from beautiful Lake Washington. Nature trails are easily accessible, while Bellevue’s cultural attractions are within easy driving distance.
Meanwhile, the Hyatt Regency Bellevue offers an Asian-inspired style and expansive amenities. These include extras like free Wi-Fi, pet-friendly options, soundproof rooms, and on-site dining options. It will only take you 10 minutes to get to downtown from here, and you’re also in a convenient location for visiting the Microsoft Campus and a nearby shopping center.
You could also go with the Sheraton Bellevue Hotel. This three-star hotel combines luxury and affordability, with the best rates of the three Bellevue hotels listed here. Hotel amenities include rooms with lake views, an on-site bar and lounge, a top-rated restaurant, and luxuriously appointed rooms. This location puts you just two blocks away from the Maydenbauer, Bellevue’s premier convention center.
Kirkland: The Woodmark
If you’re looking for the best sleep of your life, consider the Woodmark Hotel and Still Spa. The premium mattresses, pillow menu, and soundproof rooms all make for a peaceful night. Spa services, the ocean view, the fitness center, and a shuttle to nearby attractions will also help ease your stress. Kirkland is just 20 minutes from downtown Seattle, so you can easily explore all of the urban wonders.
Fife: The Emerald Queen
The Emerald Queen Hotel & Casino is as well-appointed as your average casino hotel, but it’s substantially more calm. You’ll have access to the on-site restaurants, free Wi-Fi, a pool, a salon, a gift shop, and much more. Fife is 40 minutes from downtown Seattle, which means this destination is a bit further out than the others on our list. This hotel attracts visitors with perks like special rates, especially on weekdays and during the off-season.
