Westin Seattle: A Room With a View

The cylindrical twin towers of the Westin Seattle are located in the heart of Downtown within easy walking distance to great restaurants, Pike Place Market, Westlake Center, the Monorail, Seattle Center, and the waterfront. The hotel’s 47-story north tower provides phenomenal views of the Space Needle, Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains.

We originally reserved a traditional room at the Westin with frequent flyer miles. Upon check-in, we were offered an upgrade for $10/nt. We accepted and were given Carl’s (desk clerk) favorite room on the 47th floor, room 4732 – the top floor of the hotel.

We rode the elevator to the top of the tower and quickly found our room. As soon as we were in, we went to the floor-to-ceiling windows and took in the view. Superb. The cityscape was vibrant and alive, the Space Needle like a beacon directly in front of us. Eventually, we tore our eyes away from the window to take in the rest of the room, which was comfortable and spacious.

Shortly after settling into our room, the phone rang. It was Carl calling to see how we liked the room and if we understood why it was his favorite. He seemed genuinely tickled for us and I found that endearing.

The beds featured Westin’s signature Heavenly Bed® with custom-designed pillowtop mattresses, triple sheeting, down blankets, comforters, crisp white duvets and five goosedown pillows. Similarly, the bathrooms feature Westin’s Heavenly Bath® with a rain showerhead, designer toiletries, and waffle-weave robes.

Guestroom amenities include multi-line phones, flat-screen TVs, high-speed Internet access, and laptop-sized safes. It’s possible to plug laptop/mobile device into TV. The minibar was fully stocked with the typical amenities. Unfortunately, there was no available space for your own items.

The hotel has 2 bars, one in the lobby, and one next to the lobby called Relish Burgers. The pool and spa can be found on the 5th floor.

Cons: We had a connecting door to the Governor Suite. There was not much soundproofing as we could overhear their conversation quite well. Self-parking price was $41 a day.

Overall, we slept well and enjoyed our stay. We recommend the Westin Seattle.
