The Edgewater - A Noble House Hotel

Seattle's only true waterfront hotel, this rustic-modern lodge on Elliot Bay features a cozy lounge, romantic restaurant and rooms with stunning water views. A favorite of traveling international rock bands playing Seattle in the 1960s and 70s, the hotel juts over Elliot Bay on piers, and some well-known stars (the Beatles) were said to fish right from its windows. Roughly half of the hotel's 223 rooms have stunning Olympic Mountain and sunset views; the remainder face the iconic Seattle skyline. Each room has a gas fireplace and custom luxury bedding. Eco- and pet-friendly, the hotel has a boutique featuring eco-chic Pacific Northwest-inspired items, and its coffee bar brews, of course, fair-trade espresso and coffee by Starbucks. Other amenities include 24-hour fitness and business centers, room service, laundry and dry cleaning services, and complimentary bath amenities. Dining is available on-site at the hotel's popular seafood restaurant Six Seven.
