Seattle and related destinations

Beneath rain-washed skies, Pike Place Market buzzes with fishmongers tossing salmon through the air and vendors arranging flowers in kaleidoscopic displays. The Space Needle offers obligatory views, but locals prefer watching ferries criss-cross Elliott Bay from Kerry Park's hillside perch. Duck into the original Starbucks (prepare for lines) before exploring the Seattle Aquarium's underwater world. The Gum Wall presents a strangely compelling (if slightly disgusting) public art installation near Pike Place. Catch performances at historic Moore Theatre or The Showbox, where music legends have graced the stage for decades. Seattle Centre houses museums beneath the Space Needle's watchful gaze, while cruise ships depart from Bell Street and Terminal 91 towards Alaskan adventures.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Seattle

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Seattle is in January, February, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those looking to explore the city's rich history and culture, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During this time, visitors can enjoy the vibrant urban landscape, including theatres, art galleries, and museums, as well as indulge in shopping and live music. This budget-friendly approach allows travellers to appreciate Seattle's stunning skyscrapers and scenic views, ensuring a great value for money experience.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Seattle, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to keep informed about flash sales and special promotions, increasing your chances of saving. The Smart Shopping tool available in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed decisions. If prices drop or rooms become available, you could be among the first to know, making it easier to secure a last-minute escape.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates could enable you to save on your stay in a Seattle hotel. If you're in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we may suggest more affordable dates that could help you secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Seattle's superb public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
