The Best Seattle Hotels With Epic Scenic Views
Seattle is a city of epic views. Mountains? Check. A glittering bay? Check. Lakes that stretch for miles? Yep, those too. Enjoy Seattle's unique geographical beauty from these top hotels, which range from a boutique inn to a sleek new highrise. The best part? Even if you can't afford to splurge on a view room, most of these options have terraces, rooftop bars, lobbies, or restaurants where you can take it all in.
Salish Lodge & Spa
Why it made the list
Perched on a cliff just above Snoqualmie Falls, a 268-foot waterfall that plunges into a river below, the Salish Lodge and Spa is as Pacific Northwest as it gets. Just 30 minutes from Seattle, the hotel -- famous for its cameos on Twin Peaks --is surrounded by emerald green forest at the edge of the Cascade Mountains.
Motif Seattle
Why it made the list
Water-facing rooms on the upper floors of this hip hotel boast impressive views of the waterfront, Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains. You can also see the cityscape and a sliver of Elliott Bay from the hotel's fifth-floor terrace bar, Frolik Kitchen + Cocktails.
Hyatt Regency Lake Washington
Why it made the list
On the south end of Lake Washington, this new Hyatt Regency has jaw-dropping views of the lake, the Seattle city skyline, and the Olympic Mountains. It's definitely worth splurging for a waterfront room if you stay here, though the lobby and restaurant have stunning views as well. Also cool: Some guestrooms overlook a Boeing assembly line that turns out 737s; you can often see a jet or two outside the plant, waiting to taxi out for test flights.
