7 Great Hotels Right Outside Seattle
Sure, Seattle proper has tons of lodging options, but these hotels just outside city limits have plenty to offer, including breathtaking views, luxurious spas, access to wine country, and a cutting-edge fitness club that even pro athletes would appreciate--all near downtown Seattle.
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 and surrounded by emerald green forest, the rustic-chic resort at the edge of the Cascade Mountains features luxurious touches like fireplaces and a full-service spa.
The Heathman in Kirkland
Why it made the list
Seattle borders the west side of long-and-narrow Lake Washington, and on the "Eastside" you'll find Kirkland. A waterfront town brimming with art galleries and boutiques, well-to-do Kirkland has hopes of becoming Seattle's Sausalito. The Heathman, a newly refreshed boutique hotel about 25 minutes from Seattle, is a step in that direction.
Hyatt Regency Lake Washington
Why it made the list
Right on Lake Washington, with stellar views of the Seattle skyline to the north, this brand-new Hyatt Regency features luxurious guestrooms and loads of amenities, including a saline pool and a full-service spa. It's a 20-minute drive to Seattle; ask for tips at the front desk for how to avoid peak traffic.
The Hotel Bellevue at Bellevue Club
Why it made the list
The fitness-obsessed will flip when they visit this architectural jewel in downtown Bellevue, a 15-minute drive to Seattle from the Eastside. Guests have full use of the Bellevue Club's 200,000-square-foot private athletic club, which boasts multiple pools and tennis courts among other state-of-the-art offerings.
