From the most top luxury hotels to cozy vacation rentals, we’ve prepared a list of where to stay in Seattle, Washington.

Not just home to tech monsters, Microsoft and Amazon, Seattle has a surreal art side as well. Seattle offers an urban framework with a wide range of extraordinary nebulous visions.

First time in Seattle? We bet you will be thrilled by the gallery that looks like a crushed up electric guitar, rocket out of a shoe shop, glass spheres in wooden kayaks and the statue of Vladimir Lenin. Seattle will show you everything from 19th-century Pike Place Market and yesteryear’s burger recipes to plush accommodation.

Here’s a list of the 8 best places to stay in the amazing city of Seattle.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on October 19, 2025.
