The Westin Seattle

Great location and nice rooms. Definitely getting a little worn around the edges, but it doesn’t detract from my experience. Good breakfast. Nice staff. Views from the higher floors are outstanding.

— The location was perfect (walking distance from Pike Market Place, monorail, tram, stores, restaurants)
— The view of the city from our room was awesome
— the service was excellent & friendly (room service, housekeeping, the Relish Restaurant, the concierge)
— the beds were incredibly comfortable that we didn’t want to get up — the best sleep that we’ve ever had
Highly recommend the Westin Seattle!

Excellent hotel in a wonderful location. Located in the heart of downtown! Just blocks away from great food, shopping and night life! The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly. We were kindly upgraded to a higher floor with an amazing city view. Rooms are spacious and the beds were very comfortable. We did have an issue with hot water our first night and they were able to fix it and were nice enough to waive our movie fee due to the inconvience.
The hotel is located a few blocks away from the Westlake sound transit stop. If you are coming in from the airport, follow the signs to link transit. There is only one way from the airport so you won’t get lost. Take the link northbound and exit Westlake which is the last stop on the link. It’s only $ 3 one way and a short walk to the hotel. You exit right at Nordstrom so it’s very close. Beats a über or cab fair. It’s super easy! Enjoy!

Our first visit to Seattle & we stayed 4 nights for New Year’s. The location was perfect! We took the light rail directly from the airport & walked the short block to the hotel. Pike’s place was a short walk away (Take Pike Ave if you want to avoid the steep one block hill). We walked to the Space Needle once, which was a nice 15 – 20 minute stroll, but took the Monorail a majority of the time that we visited the Seattle Center. It’s also a short 15 – 20 minute walk to the Seattle Waterfront.
I highly recommend getting the CityPass if you plan on being a tourist. The hotel is close to a Bartell drugstore & the Westlake Shopping Center, in case you forget to pack anything. The Relish bar was a great place to have a few drinks. Our room was always cleaned promptly. The layout of the room was great.
We took a bus at the bus stop directly outside the hotel to the University of Washington. It was a $ 2.50 –20 minute bus ride & if you hold on to your ticket you can ride the bus back for free the same day. Public transportation is excellent and being from Southern California it was refreshing not needing a car.
There’s tons of great restaurants & bars nearby. Would definitely stay here again. It was a little pricey but well worth it.

Fantastic location and comfy beds make the Westin an ideal place to stay while visiting!
I have stayed in few hotels in the Seattle area and I was very impressed by the Westin. The location is fantastic, you can walk to just about anything; Pike Market very close, all of the Tom Douglas restaurants are nearby along with Top Pot doughnuts and if you are a big shopper then Nordstrom and many others are nearby.
Anyhow we stayed here for New Year’s Eve celebration and WOW were they busy. I have not seen a line as long as I did for check-​in anywhere, but they got us through the line quickly and all of the staff was extremely pleasant. The rooms were spacious and we selected a king-​sized bed which was very comfortable.
We went down to the bar and waited for another couple and their drinks were good as well. We also ordered room service in the morning and I was a little shocked at the price though. We ordered 2 eggs benedict and 2 Bloody Marys for 80 bucks. Ouch!!! But at least both were very tasty and I did not have to leave bed.
Ultimately a great place and might become the location in Seattle when I am planning on a big night!

5 stars. Once the historic flagship of Western International Hotels, the Seattle Westin is likely the best chain hotel in the area. The hotel is clean and crisp. The rooms are large and equipped with modern appliances — the shower heads are super and the pressure is good. The staff is friendly and the room service is fast. Most of the other chain hotels in Seattle are aging — although the Westin has been around for awhile it has been very well maintained. It is located in the city, walkable to Pike Place market, the business district, and Belltown. The pricing is reasonable and in the winter you can get a room for under $ 200.

I spent my birthday here at the Westin in Seattle this year. It was my first time and I definitely would come back. I love the location, we specifically requested a room on a high floor so we can get the nice view. The front desk person who checked us in was very nice and professional.
We were helped with luggages and were happy how our room was spotless. Since it is pretty cold in Seattle this time of the year, we enjoyed the indoor pool. I accidentally pulled out a bottle in their fridge and put it back without opening it. We called the front desk and they were happy to remove it from the bill. Overall, I had a great experience here. And again, the location is awesome, we were so close to a coffee shop, Bartell and other places that we can walk to (not that the hotel doesn’t have wonderful restaurants and bars to hang out at).
The only 2 things that were not much of a bother to me but might be something to consider about is, you have to pay for parking in their garage and it is a big hotel with conference center so the weekend we were there, there were tons and tons of students walking around because they had some type of conference there. Not exactly what you would want if you just plan to have a quite and peaceful stay. But you can check with them when booking to see if there happens to be any type of big conference the weekend you plan to stay here.

You could not pick a more perfect location to stay while visiting Seattle. While the Westin may be pricier than some other options, the convenience made it completely worth the few extra bucks.
My friend and I flew up for a short weekend trip; neither of us had cars, and taking a taxi from the airport to the hotel was going to cost us much more than either of us wanted to spend. Lucky enough, the Westlake Light Rail station is only two blocks or so from the Westin, and only costs $ 3 a person.
You’re not far from anything — we walked all over the city with no problems and still hit all major tourist attractions. The Space Needle is about a 15 minute walk; Pike Place is only about an 8 minute walk. The hotel is actually located next to the major shopping district, so that was also a plus for us!
As for the hotel itself, it was very nice. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and accommodating; we originally only booked one night on Orbitz, and when we booked the next night online, they were able to keep us in the same room with no problems. My friend forgot her toothbrush, and the sweet ladies at the front gave us both goodie bags full of bathroom essentials — so nice!
I loved the enormous ceiling-​to-​floor windows in our room, there’s an adjustable thermostat, and the beds were comfy enough. The only minor complaint I had was that there was no bathroom fan, so within 3 minutes of showering, the mirror was completely steamed up. Whomp. I would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to be central to all of the main attractions in downtown.

They hooked me up ok right here.. I didn’t even have a reservation. Well, I did. Until I didn’t. I had cancelled a day ahead of time and had to take a flight to PDX instead of SEA. I then planned to stay in Portland.
But again, things changed and I found myself driving north. I’m one of those types who tunes in to local radio and heard there was a Mariners game starting in a couple hours. Perfect timing but no place to stay. I took a chance and popped in here at the Westin. Memorial Day weekend even. No room here at The Westin but she called a sister property… no vacancy. Uh oh. Not looking good. But I was not turned away. «Just a second…»
The magic happened. (I don’t demand it, but I also never deny its existence.) 30^th floor, «since its late enough in the day» and I there I found my heavenly bed. And view. And all the usual in-​room amenities you expect.
Way to «go out of your way» for the guest. This one goes down in the «best ever» books. As in «best ever front desk thinking on her feet.» Checking with the manager without the guest’s request etc. and finding a room where there is none. It sometimes happens.
I’ve stayed here once before too and had an excellent experience. This more recent last minute stay even blew that one away. What is four stars magically becomes five just like a room can magically open up. Great location, nice property, excellent service — and sometimes, a killer view! I can confidently recommend this property and will stay again in the future.
PS — Park next door at the garage and take the skybridge across to save some dinero (proof of hotel stay required.)
