Downtown and Convention Center Hotels
Hyatt Regency Seattle
Stay steps from the Seattle Convention Center at this big hotel with an equally big green record. With 1,260 rooms, it is the largest hotel in the city, and it was also the first here to earn LEED Gold certification. Behind the scenes, its laundry system recovers heat and water, untouched leftover food goes to a local nonprofit and other food scraps are composted, making it a natural fit for convention goers.
Hyatt at Olive 8
Cross diagonally from the Hyatt Regency and you reach Olive 8, which holds LEED Silver certification. Its green roof holds back 75 percent of rainwater and adds insulation that cuts heating and cooling energy. Business travelers who prefer a slightly smaller property near the convention center will find it a smart pick.
Hotel Theodore
Set on Seventh Avenue in downtown Seattle, Hotel Theodore lets you leave the car behind. Stroll to Pike Place Market, the waterfront and the stadiums, all within walking distance, and spend your days exploring the city on foot.
South Lake Union for Design and Longer Stays
1 Hotel Seattle
Food grown and sourced locally sits at the center of the sustainability story at this stylish newer hotel in South Lake Union. Grab a piece of imperfect fresh fruit from the lobby farmstand, which serves guests and neighbors alike, then join yoga on the terrace. It suits travelers who care about how they eat and unwind.
citizenM South Lake Union
citizenM keeps things simple and holds LEED Gold certification. Expect cleverly designed rooms packed with comfortable, upscale touches that feel homey. Solo travelers and couples who want an efficient, modern room rather than sprawling space will settle in easily.
Level Hotels and Furnished Suites South Lake Union
Just as its name suggests, Level offers furnished suites as well as hotel rooms. That format works well for longer visits, relocations or families who want more room than a standard hotel provides. You will find it on Boren Avenue North, close to the South Lake Union core.
Historic Stays With Character
Populus Seattle
Step into Pioneer Square history at Populus, set in a carefully adapted 1907 building. The original Douglas fir beams, brickwork and ironwork remain, while new materials are local, recycled or sustainably certified. Take time with the artwork, which includes Pacific Northwest themed commissions from 35 local and international artists, made at a studio next door in the historic RailSpur Manufacturers Building. History buffs and art lovers will feel right at home.
Kimpton Palladian
Bring your pet along to the Kimpton Palladian, a pet-friendly hotel filling a renovated 1910 building. It conserves water, uses refillable bath amenity containers and partners with Clean the World, which turns unused soap into hygiene kits for communities in need. If you are traveling with a dog, put it high on your list.
For Food Lovers and Meeting Planners
Hotel 1000
Come for a meal at All Water Seafood and Oyster Bar, the restaurant Hotel 1000 is known for. The menu features sustainably sourced seafood, local seasonal ingredients and plenty of vegetarian and vegan dishes, and guest rooms stock Le Labo bath products in large refillable containers. Planning a company gathering? Use the hotel's Meeting Impact Calculator and work with staff to measure and shrink the event's footprint.
Near the Airport for Early Flights
Cedarbrook Lodge
Wake up surrounded by greenery at Cedarbrook Lodge, just minutes from SEA Airport yet feeling far from the terminals. The lodge is well regarded for an ongoing commitment to sustainability, from food sourcing to supply chain choices and community partnerships, and it also works with Clean the World on soap recycling. Book here before an early departure when you still want a calm, leafy setting.
