Best for business groups, convention attendees, and visitors who want immediate access to Pike Place Market, the waterfront, and a large events program.

Best for shoppers, Eastside business travelers, and anyone who prefers Bellevue’s restaurant and retail scene over downtown Seattle.
When The Westin Seattle wins: choose The Westin if you need large event and meeting capacity, easy walking access to Seattle’s main tourist and convention sites, or prefer a large downtown highrise with an indoor heated pool and 24-hour fitness.
When W Bellevue wins: choose W Bellevue if you want a contemporary W-branded lifestyle stay on the Eastside close to Bellevue Square, Lincoln Square, and Bellevue’s dining and shopping, with smaller, fashion-forward public spaces.
Bottom line: both are Marriott-affiliated lifestyle/upscale properties; pick The Westin Seattle for big-city convention convenience and event space, or pick W Bellevue for a trendier Bellevue base near shopping and Eastside offices.
