I visited for the first time in February 2023. It was very cold and often raining. Nevertheless, the aquarium was an interesting place to go on the waterfront, as well as quite a few gift shops, Miner's Landing which includes restaurants and an arcade, as well as Seattle Great Wheel. When the sun shines, its a really nice place to walk.

Location, location, location-this hotel is in ideal spot if you are cruising. Waterfront is at your fingertips. Pike Place and nearby attractions within easy walking distance. Jeff L concierge was delightful to talk to. Serg at the front desk greeted us with a smile. Room very fresh and modern. Lobby very clean. Waitstaff, especially Hank, was engaging to talk to and gave us great advice. 5 star experience overall.

Seattle is a port town and its waterfront is a symbol for the city that can be captured from many different places and perspectives. Whether the ferries, the cruise ships, commercial port or simply its skyscrapers and attractions like the Seattle Wheel, the Seattle waterfront is active. We were able to see it from many perspectives which enhanced our visit. It is truly an ever-present part of the city.

This is Seattle, a port city. But they have turned The Waterfront into quite a attractive destination for tourists. It’s a bit touristy with T-shirt shops, seafood restaurants, arcade games, ice cream shops and the like. The highlights include The Wheel, Wings Over Washington, the Aquarium and the Argosy Harbor Cruise Tours. They are connecting Pike Place Market to the Waterfront area with the ongoing multi million dollar project. It’s going to be amazing when they finish it.

The Seattle Waterfront is a delightful area in which to wander around and really enjoy your day. There are plenty of things to see and do. The water views are fantastic. There are many restaurants and other shops to enjoy. Museums, the Aquarium, the Olympic Sculpture Park and more.
