    Four Seasons Seattle: Guest Room Review, Tour

    Press RoomBy No Comments5 Mins Read

    • I recently spent one night at the five-star Four Seasons Seattle.
    • My roughly $1,000-a-night corner room wowed me with floor-to-ceiling windows on two walls.
    • I was also impressed by the room’s luxury amenities and nods to the Pacific Northwest.

    From my room at the Four Seasons Seattle, pedestrians looked like action figures, cars like Hot Wheels, and sailboats in the bay looked tiny enough to be children’s bath toys. But the view itself was anything but small.

    I booked a room at the five-star hotel for one night in May. It wasn’t my first Four Seasons stay, but it was my first time in Seattle — and it was my first time sleeping in a corner suite with floor-to-ceiling windows stretching across two walls.

    In the nearly $1,000-a-night room, I had better views of Seattle than at any viewpoint I ventured to during my three-day trip. And the best part was that I didn’t even have to leave my bed to see it.

    The Four Seasons Seattle is a top-choice hotel for travelers who want to be steps from the waterfront.

    The Four Seasons in Seattle opened in 2008. Located downtown, it’s the perfect place to stay if you want to walk to the waterfront or Pike Place Market in five minutes or less.

    The hotel has won many awards, including being named the No. 1 hotel in Washington by US News & World Report in 2024. A hotel rep told Business Insider that the Four Seasons Seattle has hosted some celebrity guests, though he didn’t specify who.

    If you stay in a corner room like I did, you’ll have constant views of the bay and downtown Seattle.

    I stayed in a Corner Deluxe Bay View King room with a starting rate of $965 during peak season, from May to September, and during the end-of-year holidays. BI received a media rate for the one-night stay.

    The lobby was modern and classy, with natural hues and pops of pink.

    When I checked in, I noticed dazzling pink bouquets that looked vibrant in an otherwise neutral-toned lobby. And the pops of pink didn’t stop there — by the elevators, there were complimentary pink refreshments of the same color, including strawberry jelly beans and gummy bears, rose lemonade, and monochrome M&Ms.

    Once I checked in, I headed to my home for the night.

    The 21-story hotel has 147 rooms on the first 10 floors and 36 residential units on the top 11.

    My room was on the 9th floor. It opened into a small hallway. As soon as I turned the corner, I was greeted by beams of natural light and views of downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay, and the Olympic Mountains. Floor-to-ceiling windows took up the better half of two perpendicular walls.

    My room had a king-sized bed and a small couch across from a TV atop a dresser. There was also a table with two cushy dining chairs.

    The hotel rep told BI that the rooms, updated in 2019, were inspired by the natural elements of the Pacific Northwest.

    “You’ll see that in the colors and textures, like the blues and the grays. Being Seattle, we’re a little bit on the darker side, so they tried to lighten it up with some lighter elements of color,” he said. “You’ll see a lot of natural wood in our building to add that element of nature.”

    My favorite aspect of the interior design was the textured wallpaper behind the bed. It looked like clouds with a mix of cool and warm hues. The decor was subtle, as the outdoor views were the star of the room, but I thought the wallpaper added a dreamy touch to the sleeping space.

    At the front of the room was a spacious closet and plenty of amenities.

    Inside the closet, I found a luggage rack, an ironing board, a safe, and an umbrella for the city’s signature rainy weather. Next to the closet, there was a minibar.

    Across from the closet, a sliding door revealed the marble bathroom.

    The bathroom had a deep soaking tub across from a sink and vanity with a small TV screen integrated into the mirror.

    The bathroom had a tub and a spacious glass shower with a rainfall showerhead.

    The bathroom also had L’Occitane Almond toiletries.

    The best part of the room was undoubtedly the views.

    Nothing felt more luxurious than watching the sunset in this lavish room from multiple angles.

    Standing against the window in my provided robe and slippers made me feel like I had scored my own private tourist attraction in Seattle.
