Four Seasons Hotel Seattle

We stayed here in Feb 2026, and the hotel is undergoing a renovation until April/May-- it is being very poorly managed, so heads up to those looking to travel there now. The pros were great - terrific staff (from the valet to restaurant servers to front desk) . The hotel is clean, modern, and pretty. The rooms are well-appointed and very comfortable (though the queen beds are really large twin beds). The location is fantastic - you can walk to Pike Place Market, and the views are terrific. The problem was that when we booked the rooms and checked in, the only mention of the renovation was about the spa. We were traveling with an elderly couple, so we wanted a property with a restaurant and bar on site. It was bizarre - they were not letting hotel guests walk into the bar. You had to reserve a spot at the bar which no one could tell us how to do - not the front desk and not even the bar staff. They were also being really strange about seating hotel guests in the restaurant. We felt sorry for the staff who were tasked with this rude behavior. It was 4:30pm on a Saturday, and our group of 5 (three middle-aged adults and an elderly couple) was turned away because the bar couldn't accommodate us. Yet we watched the bartender behind the bar doing nothing but dry glasses in an empty bar with no guests. Getting into the restaurant was more difficult than getting into the hot clubs in NY in my 20s. It was not the level of hospitality you would expect from a Four Seasons. We wanted a nice, quiet bar and restaurant-- that's one of the reasons we booked the hotel. For the staff to mention nothing at check-in or help guests with other accommodations was really disappointing. So beware when considering this hotel for Spring 2026.

Fantastic location. Service overall is great and in line with other 4S properties. Coffee & snacks are available in the lobby. Rooms are modern, clean and spacious.

I’ve just completed a road trip from Colorado to Oregon via Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Washington State. We found generally that the standard of accommodation wasn’t great and that it felt quite expensive for us with our British pounds and they weren’t particularly good value for money in general, I say this to put my review in some context. We really enjoyed our experience at The Four Seasons in Seattle. We didn’t be grudge a single penny that we spent on our stay there and it was actually a highlight of the trip. We liked the design of the hotel. We had a corner room looking over the pool towards Puget sound. The room was very comfortable and very clean. Everything worked the bath was amazing. Probably the biggest BATH that I’ve ever been in my life -almost square and incredibly deep surrounded by marble. It was fantastic. The food at breakfast was delicious even though I generally only had yoghurt,granola and fruit my husband made the most of the variety on offer and was having eggs Benedict with crab, French toast et cetera. The design of the pool was very good in that it was on the fourth floor which meant it wasn’t the sort of area that members of the public would be coming in and using for meetings or having meals. It felt quiet and private, being overlooked only by hotel bedrooms which we really liked. We spent one afternoon just sitting facing the water on the sunbed,and soaking up the September sunshine which was very welcome after our fortnight of driving and constantly changing hotels. I have stayed in quite a lot of four seasons And I can’t quite put my finger on what it was about the Seattle hotel but I think I enjoyed it more than any other four seasons as I’ve been to. I think it’s probably the design aspect and how smart and fresh everything looked compared to older properties perhaps The staff were great and we had had no complaints. Just book it.

Before we left for Seattle, Ryan, the concierge, was very helpful. I asked if there was a daily newspaper & he said there was not but that I could access one online. It was not really that important so I moved on to discuss dinner reservations, etc. The next day Ryan emailed me to tell me I was going to be getting 3 daily newspapers delivered to the room at no charge. I really didn’t need it but it was a nice touch. The concierge also made good sightseeing / activity recommendations. I used the American Express Fine Hotels reservation & did not get an upgrade or the early check in & I usually get both at Rosewood but it ended up being for the best because the two bedroom room I was wanting for the upgrade had a pool view & my room had a water view which we preferred. I was initially offered a 4th floor room & voiced my disappointment on the low floor, no early check in & no upgrade. Since our room was not ready we went for a drink nearby & while we were waiting the front desk sent a text & asked if I’d like to wait an hour longer for a higher floor. I said yes and it was GREAT! The complementary hotel car was nice- they took us to the original Nordstrom because I forgot my eye cream. All valet personnel are amazing. The most comfortable bed I’ve slept in since my last visit to another Four Seasons hotel… The food was great in the hotel bar!! The pool is super fun with great views. They do allow people to hold chairs for the entire day with their belongings on them and the other hotels we frequent do not tolerate that behavior. There is a CVS/ Target two blocks away which is convenient. The guest services manager (Gun Kang) sent champagne & beer one day with the nicest note after a paint smell invaded from the residences above (would love to live up there) & he was very genuine as well. He really was the gem at the hotel. The car service they book for you from the airport was convenient and made it easy. Had one great driver and one not great one but they do not work for the Four Seasons, they just hire them. We LOVED the view from the room & the pool. Convenient location. Housekeeping did a great job & seemed surprised with cash tips. Will be back for sure.

Idk what’s up with hospitality standard for four seasons Seattle. I paid good amount of money and the service I got was “OK”to me. I would not stay here again. amenities are outdated and doesn’t really WOW me as other four seasons properties.
