I always check out the W hotel in whichever city i’m in, and now that Marriott and SPG have merged, points can be transferred between the two – making life much easier if you’re a fan of both brands.
The W in Seattle is an older property, but was recently renovated (in 2016). How is it now? Pretty darn good. Why would one choose the W Seattle with the dearth of luxury hotels in the city you ask? Well, the views are one reason, and two, the service.
I couldn’t recommend the W in Seattle up until this year because it was getting a bit long in the tooth, but now with its renovation – it’s one of the go-to’s in Seattle.
When you enter, you’re greeted by the expansive lobby which organically melds into the bar and the lounge area. It’s a cozy space with an oversized fireplace and lots of secluded seating.
The rooms themselves are a nice size, which is hard to find in downtown Seattle. They’re also renovated and have some of THE comfiest beds i’ve ever experienced (Yes SPG, your beds ARE Heavenly). Now i’ve slept in Heavenly bed setups at other SPG properties, but this one was exceptional. I don’t know if it was because the rooms were so new, or because they had a different mattress top at this one but i’d love to hear reader’s opinions!
Now if you wanted to see what the views looked like check out the pic below. The combination of great location and height of the building makes this one of the nicest properties around for expansive views of the beautiful Seattle skyline. There’s only a handful of luxury hotels with views like this and the W Seattle is one of them. The icing on the cake is that most of the rooms at the W have a view because of how the building is situated on a hill.
The service is impeccable at this property, the gym has new equipment now, and did I mention the bed or the views?
PROS:
- VIEWS VIEWS VIEWS!
- Service is impeccable – I think it was on par with some Ritz-Carlton’s i’ve stayed at
- The remodel did this hotel good
CONS:
- It has low ceilings – I really had to reach here
SECRETS:
- If you’re an SPG member ask them for drink tickets, they’re usually pretty accommodating here!
