Seattle Marriott Waterfront

The Seattle Marriott Waterfront scans Elliott Bay from Alaskan Way, the street that runs a mile and a half along Seattle's western edge. The maritime stretch brims with ferryboats and cruise ships arriving and departing, seafood restaurants, coffee emporiums, specialty shops, and visitor must-sees like Pike Place Market and the Seattle Aquarium. Groups meeting at the Seattle Marriott have it all on their doorstep.

Inside, the hotel welcomes them with 11,354 square feet of meeting space suitable for everything from executive conferences to trade expos. For meals between meetings, delegates gather for coastal-inspired cuisine at 2100 Bistro and Bar. They unwind at a 24-hour fitness center and indoor-outdoor pool. And they retire to 358 deluxe guest rooms and suites, half with balconies facing the Olympic Mountains, Mt. Rainier, or Puget Sound.
