Seattle Boutique Hotels

  • Best Boutique Hotel in Downtown: The State Hotel
  • Best Boutique Hotel in Pike Place Market: Inn At The Market

    No true boutique hotel in Seattle has a pool. The luxury hotel Four Seasons has the charm of a boutique hotel while also having the best outdoor pool in Seattle.
