Seattle Hotels With Destination-Worthy Restaurants
Let's face it, hotel restaurants don't always cut it, especially in a food-obsessed city like Seattle. That's not the case at these places, though. The hotel restaurants we've rounded up are destination-worthy, whether it's for the epic views or cutting-edge cuisine. More proof that they're top-notch? They attract locals and visitors alike. These are the best.
Hotel Ballard
Why it made the list
Inside Hotel Ballard, Stoneburner makes a big visual impact with large street-view windows, architectural objects, bold tile patterns, and antiques from around the world. The restaurant serves up Mediterranean-style fare with ultra-fresh Pacific Northwest ingredients and a focus on stone-hearth cooking. Start with a charcuterie plate; the restaurant sources its sliced meats from artisan companies.
Salish Lodge & Spa
Why it made the list
If it's still daylight, wait for a window seat at the hotel's Dining Room, which overlooks a dramatic view of the forested hillside and a waterfall crashing into the river below. You can almost feel the mist that fills the air. Hotel guests are greeted with a glass of bubbly at the intimate restaurant, which features the kind of excellent service that makes a special occasion even more memorable. Make no mistake: This place is spendy. But the food--a simple, seasonal menu showcasing seafood and meats, including choice cuts with a la carte sides--is very good and the views sublime.
Kimpton Palladian Hotel
Why it made the list
Forget about tourist-trap hotel restaurants. Shaker + Spear is the real deal, from the design--varying wood tones and textures, exposed brick, and an expansive bank of tall windows--to the seasonal menu that’s focused on seafood and local ingredients. Don’t miss the charred octopus with hazelnut romesco--it’s divine! The restaurant also features a good wine list and an au courant cocktail menu (sherry is the current star).
