Location: Downtown convenience vs waterfront setting

The Westin Seattle – Location

The Westin Seattle sits on Fifth Avenue in the heart of downtown, a short walk from shopping, theaters, and the convention center.

  • Address: 1900 5th Ave; Westlake Center and Nordstrom are about a block away.
  • Pike Place Market is a roughly 5–10 minute walk; Monorail two blocks away for Space Needle access.
  • Airport access: ~13–15 miles to SEA; light rail from Westlake Station connects to the airport.

Best if you want immediate access to downtown shopping, transit, and convention venues.

Four Seasons Hotel Seattle – Location

Four Seasons Hotel Seattle is on Union Street steps from the waterfront and a short walk to Pike Place Market.

  • Address: 99 Union St; property is minutes from the Seattle Waterfront and Pike Place Market.
  • Offers more direct visual and walking proximity to Elliott Bay than an inland downtown high-rise.
  • Preferred airport: Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).

Best if you prioritize being as close as possible to the waterfront and bay views.

Rooms: Scale and variety vs curated luxury rooms

The Westin Seattle – Rooms

The Westin Seattle provides a wide selection of room types across nearly 900 rooms and suites, many with city or skyline views.

  • 891 guest rooms across 47 floors with multiple room and suite categories.

  • Smaller room count means a narrower but more consistently luxury-focused inventory.

Choose Four Seasons for rooms focused on bay/partial-bay views and a smaller luxury inventory.

Dining & drinks: Multiple casual outlets vs single high-end restaurant

The Westin Seattle – Dining & drinks

The Westin offers three distinct on-site outlets covering casual to bar service and 24-hour room service.

  • 1900 FIFTH Bar + Lounge for cocktails, small plates, and a business-casual vibe.
  • Reservations available for Relish Bistro; full 24-hour room service offered.

Better for travelers who want a range of casual dining and a lobby bar without leaving the hotel.
