Silver Cloud Stadium Seattle – The Basics

Location: At 1st Avenue South and South Royal Brougham Way, ideally-located for sporting events, concerts or other happenings in the stadium district. Directly across the street from T-Mobile Park, and a moderate walk to many shops, restaurants, and sights in nearby Seattle neighborhoods of Pioneer Square and the International District. Half a mile from Light Rail. Though there are great water views, it’s a bit of a hike to safely access the Elliot Bay waterfront – better to take the hotel shuttle.

Ages: All ages are allowed, and cribs are available on request, but no specific amenities are offered for children. In-house restaurant has kids’ menus for ages 12 and under. Supervised children are welcome on the sundeck, and in the pool and hot tub. Carseats (all types) for the complimentary hotel shuttle can be requested in advance.

Pet Policy: No pets.

View: Great Puget Sound and (on clear days) Olympic Mountains views from higher floors. Some rooms look into T-Mobile Park and its Jumbotron.

Parking: Valet parking; $39 plus tax per night.

Nice Perks: Complimentary Seattle Times newspaper, complimentary shuttle service, in-room coffee maker, Aveda bath amenities.

When to Book: For specific views or features, six months in advance during the April-September cruise and peak summer season, and during Seahawks home-game weekends through the football season (typically August-December). Otherwise, one month in advance.

How to Book: Booking.com will have the best rates.
