The 120-room hotel was sold to Thayer Lodging Group and Provenance Hotels last June. They went and sold it to Loews Hotels & Resorts last month. This place is full of features and amenities and Forbes says "spoil yourselves at Spaahh with swank Carita and Decléor services, soothing wraps and the popular mint mojito pedicure."

Four Seasons Seattle is the region's only five-star hotel, described as a "sophisticated, urbane retreat housed in a modern glass tower" by Forbes. The Pool Terrace on the roof and onsite restaurant Goldfinch Tavern add to the appeal. If you love staying here so much, you can buy one of the residences up top and still get all the hotel amenities.

Forbes like the way the Fairmont blends "1920s Italian Renaissance heritage with 21st-century hospitality." There's plenty of food and drink options right here but "traditional high tea service is a treat worth making time for." With 252 rooms there's a better chance of getting a room here.

The Pan Pacific might have originally been considered a little outside of the downtown core, the new Denny Triangle/South Lake Union growth has brought more to The Pan Pacific. The 1,250 square-foot Denny Suite is the jewel of their 153 rooms. Forbes recommends "the complimentary hybrid town car", which will shuttle you around.
