Christian Grey lives in the penthouse, naturally, of this downtown Seattle tower. The 31-story luxury apartment building is a perfect choice for the mysterious businessman. It's among Seattle's most sought-after condo towers and home to the most expensive Seattle condo listings on the market at any given time. The specific condo that inspired the book went on the market in September 2018 for $11.5 million.

When she's not all tied up with Christian, Ana shares an apartment with her best friend Kate near Pike Place Market. The industrially styled three-bedroom unit is paid for by Kate's parents, and certainly not by two twenty-somethings starting their career out in Seattle.

The tallest skyscraper in Seattle doesn't make an appearance until Fifty Shades Darker, when Christian takes Anastasia here to eat at the Columbia Tower Club. In the book, Anastasia describes the tower by saying "It's very now and has the most head spinning views over Seattle." How a building finished in 1985 is very now, well, we're still working that out. As for the view, she might be right on that one.

In Fifty Shades Darker, Christian takes Ana to a Mediterranean-style mansion overlooking Puget Sound in the vicinity of Blue Ridge/North Beach (it's never specifically said)—a posh enclave known for its views. In the movie, they filmed at historic Casa Mia in Vancouver, but it tracks that a similar property would exist in this neighborhood.

"Can’t we sneak a quick cocktail at the Zig Zag Cafe? I’ve booked us a table,” says Kate in Fifty Shades Freed, urging Ana to join her for a quick chat while Christian is out of town. The beloved establishment is located below Pike Place Market, and is known for its craft cocktails.

“Christian pulls into the impressive, leafy driveway of the Fairmont Olympic Hotel and parks near the front door, beside a quaint stone fountain... As I stand beside him at the reception desk, I feel utterly ridiculous.” Christian and Ana escape to the hotel's Cascade Suite, which overlooks the financial district and includes a piano.

After a car chase, Christian and Ana hide out in a parking garage on this corner. While parked there in his Audi RB, they end up—surprise!—having sex. While there used to actually be a parking lot there, the site is now the office building Hill7, which houses HBO, Redfin, and a WeWork location.

Technically, the Heathman Hotel in the books is the one in Portland. That's where Ana and Christian get to know one another during a photo shoot. Short of driving all the way down to Portland, this sister hotel is the closest you'll get to recreating the full Fifty Shades experience. No word on whether or not this Heathman Hotel has an elevator No. 3.

There's quite a bit of air travel in the series and so there are quite a few stops at Sea-Tac. You'd think Christian Grey could work out a deal to keep his plane at Boeing Field, but, whatever...
