Seattle's Four Seasons: Unforgettable Luxury Awaits!
Seattle's Four Seasons: Let's Cut the Fluff and Talk Real Luxury (and Maybe Some Tears)
Okay, so, Seattle’s Four Seasons. "Unforgettable Luxury Awaits!" they trumpet. Yeah, yeah, we’ve all heard it. But does it actually live up to the hype? The answer, folks, is a resounding… mostly. Let's dive in, shall we? Forget the vanilla marketing spiel and get ready for the real Four Seasons experience.
First Impressions (or, "Will My Wheelchair Fit?") - Accessibility & Comfort (A+ for Effort!)
Right off the bat, thank god for a hotel actually thinking about accessibility. I’m not in a wheelchair but, you know, I might be someday. Thankfully, the Four Seasons in Seattle seems to have majorly prioritized it. They did okay.
- Wheelchair Accessible: Check! This is a big win.
- Facilities for Disabled Guests: Again, check! This isn't just a token gesture, either. It actually feels like they wanted to make things easy.
- Elevator: Obviously, and thankfully, it's plentiful.
I did notice though, in the elevator, a minor detail: the space seemed perfect for a wheelchair but a little tight on the big guy, I mean, you know… the door might be a bit of a squeeze. Minor imperfection, that's what made me laugh.
Internet, Good lord, the Internet! (And Why I Almost Threw My Laptop Across the Room)
Okay, technology. Let's be real. The internet experience can make or break a stay. And the Four Seasons? They deliver mostly.
- Free Wi-Fi in All Rooms! Hallelujah! (Although I think that should be standard in 2024.)
- Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services: They have alternatives.
- Wi-Fi in Public Areas: Pretty solid. I was able to stream, work, and generally stay connected.
My one gripe? I needed a good, solid, reliable internet connection. And, it was good, but not great. The connection dropped a couple of times when I needed to work on important document. This is where I went, you know, almost postal. The rage of being behind deadline, in a beautiful hotel, with a slightly dodgy Wi-Fi connection… it's a unique kind of torture.
Soothing the Soul: Relaxation, Spa & That Damn Pool with a View
Alright, this is where the Four Seasons really tried to shine. And, for the most part, succeeded. This part is all about winding down, taking it easy, and just… being pampered I love it.
- Pool with View: This is basically the centerpiece, the place to flaunt, and it’s amazing. The pool itself is beautiful, but the view? Stunning. That bit of the Puget Sound is chef's kiss.
- Spa/Sauna, Steamroom: The whole spa area. It's sleek, sophisticated, and smells heavenly. The steam room was a total escape. I could honestly spend all day there.
- Massage: Yes! I needed this more than I knew. It was pure bliss, honestly. I almost fell asleep.
Let's Eat! Dining, Drinking & Snacking (Where the Wallet Takes a Hit)
Dining at a Four Seasons is, let's be honest, an event. And an expensive one.
- Restaurants: The restaurant is really great. The food is outstanding.
- Asian Cuisine in restaurant I am not the biggest fan of Asian cuisine, but the restaurant does well with their restaurant.
- Poolside bar: I had a martini by the pool. It wasn't cheap but it was delicious.
- Room service [24-hour]: This is a life-saver, especially when you're feeling lazy (which is often).
The Imperfections? The Little Things that Make it Human
- Breakfast: Breakfast was a bit of a disappointment. Buffet style restaurants are not my favorite. I wanted something a la carte, but it was not available.
- The Staff: The staff are lovely! Always smiling, always willing to help. It's a finely tuned orchestra of hospitality.
Cleanliness and Safety (Because We All Care Now)
Look, after the last few years, cleanliness is everything. The Four Seasons gets it:
- Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays. All good news.
- Hand sanitizer Everywhere.
- Staff trained in safety protocol Obviously.
For the Rest of the Details…
- Car Park [free of charge] / Valet parking: Valet is convenient. But I don't mind walking myself.
- Check-in/out [private]: Smooth and efficient.
- Daily housekeeping: The room was always immaculate after cleaning.
My Emotional Verdict (The Real, Unedited Truth)
Look, the Four Seasons Seattle isn’t perfect. But it is a truly luxurious experience. It's a place to escape, to indulge, and to, well, feel damn good about yourself. The view alone is worth the price of admission. It’s a splurge, yes. But if you can swing it, and you need to treat yourself, book the Four Seasons. You won't be disappointed.

Drums, PA Getaway: Unbeatable Econo Lodge Deals!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're ditching the polished brochure and heading straight into the gloriously messy reality of a stay at the Four Seasons Seattle. My brain's already buzzing with anticipation (and maybe a tiny bit of pre-vacation anxiety - packing, ARRGH!). This isn't just an itinerary, it's a journey… a chaotic, caffeine-fueled journey.
Four Seasons Seattle: A Trip (Mostly) Worth Remembering
(Pre-Arrival: The Existential Crisis)
- The Packing Predicament (2 Days Prior): Am I forgetting something? My passport? (Check - phew!). What are the ideal Seattle outfits? Rain gear, obviously, but also chic enough to pretend I'm not a total tourist? The struggle is real. My suitcase currently resembles a black hole of overthinking. I've packed three pairs of shoes "just in case". This is me, fully embracing the stereotype.
(Day 1: "Emerald City, Here I Come… and Maybe a Nap")
Morning (Plane Ride from hell): Okay, so I'm not getting that window seat. Thanks, airport gods. But hey, turbulence and the faint smell of airplane peanuts are basically part of the travel experience, right? Arrived and immediately realized I should have packed a neck pillow. Note to self: NEVER again.
Afternoon (Settling In & "OMG, This View!"): Checked into the Four Seasons (finally!). The lobby? Gorgeous, sleek, and smells like money and happiness. Okay, maybe just expensive flowers. The room… oh, the room. The view! Breathes dramatically. That Puget Sound view is seriously breathtaking. (Insert a slightly embarrassing moment where I stood there for a solid five minutes, just gaping at the water. So touristy. So me.)
Afternoon (Lunch at Goldfinch Tavern - A Glimpse of Glory): Wandering down to Goldfinch Tavern, I was suddenly ravenous. The place is beautiful. The food… oh, the food. The halibut tacos were a religious experience. Okay, maybe not religious, but definitely a culinary awakening.
Afternoon (Spa Panic and the Massage of a Lifetime): Okay, confession time. I booked a massage. I am TERRIBLE at relaxing, so this was a gamble. BUT… the Four Seasons Spa? It was a freaking sanctuary. The heated pool, the aromatherapy – pure bliss. And the massage? I'm pretty sure I heard my muscles sigh in relief. Best money ever spent. I floated out of there feeling like a new woman. (For approximately 45 minutes, anyway.)
Evening (Dinner at the hotel and the Bed's Embrace): Back down to the hotel for dinner. The restaurant, like everywhere else, is elegant. I ordered something fancy, probably too ambitious. The food was good but my mind was already on the heavenly bed. The pillow was like a cloud. I passed out instantly.
(Day 2: Pike Place and the Pursuit of Happiness (and Coffee))
Morning (The Pike Place Pilgrimage - Crowds and Coffee): Awake! The smell of coffee wafts from the Starbucks downstairs. I braved the crowds at Pike Place Market. Honestly? Overwhelming. Beautiful, chaotic, smelly (in a good way), but definitely overwhelming. The fish-throwing spectacle was… well, it's something. Grabbed a latte at that other coffee place (I can't bring myself to utter the name) but it was good.
Morning (The Great Gum Wall Debacle): Got to the Gum Wall. Saw it. Decided it was disgusting. (Sorry, gum-wall lovers! I'm just not a fan of public displays of saliva.) Spent a shameful amount of time trying NOT to touch anything.
Lunch (The Quest for the Perfect Chowder): The clam chowder quest began. (I'm serious! This became a mission.) Tried three different places. One was creamy, one was bland, and one… I think it changed my life. (Okay, maybe not, but it was REALLY good.)
Afternoon (Shopping… and Regret): wandered around and bought things I didn't need. You know the drill. Did I really need that artisan candle that smells like "rain and the Pacific Northwest"? Yes. Yes, I did.
Evening (Lazy dinner): Ordered room service. I needed a night in.
(Day 3: Ferry Fun and Farewell Tears…)
Morning (Ferry to Bainbridge Island - A Little bit of Magic): Took a ferry to Bainbridge Island. The water, the city skyline in the distance… breathtaking. Felt like a movie scene.
Lunch (Bainbridge Island Charm): Found a cute little cafe on the other side. The sandwich was decent. The atmosphere was pure small-town bliss.
Afternoon (The Return and The Bitter Sweet Goodbye): Back to Seattle, Back at the hotel. One last longing look at the view. This place has been good for me.
Evening (Departure): Head down to the lobby; it's time to go. I'm ready to go. I'm also a bit sorry to leave. The Four Seasons Seattle actually managed to soothe my travel-anxiety-ridden soul.
(Post-Trip Reflections (Real Talk))
The Ups & Downs: The Four Seasons was amazing. The service was impeccable. The food was mostly stellar. The view? Unreal. Seattle itself is a city with a lot of personality. But, let's be real, travel isn't all sunshine and rainbows. There were moments of mild panic (getting lost, overspending), moments of pure joy (that massage), and moments of questioning all my life choices (the Gum Wall).
Stuff I Learn: Next time? Pack less. Embrace the chaos. Don't be afraid to get lost (you might find something amazing). and maybe, just maybe, try to relax a little bit more.
Final Thoughts: Would I go back to the Four Seasons Seattle? Absolutely. Would I recommend it? Without a doubt. But, more importantly, would I recommend embracing the messy, imperfect, hilariously human side of travel? You bet your bottom dollar I would. Now if you'll excuse me, I need a nap to recover from writing this itinerary.
Okay, spill the beans! Is the Four Seasons Seattle really *that* luxurious? I mean, is it worth the hype? (and the credit card bill?)
Alright, alright, buckle up buttercups, because the answer... is a messy, complicated, and utterly delightful YES. Look, I’ve stayed in places that promised luxury and delivered... well, let's just say "meh." This? This is the real deal. From the moment you step inside, you're just… *pampered*. It starts with the doormen. They're not just opening doors; they're somehow *sensing* your level of exhaustion, judgment, or sheer glee. One time, I showed up looking like a drowned rat after a ferry ride (Seattle weather, am I right?), and the doorman, bless his heart, didn't even bat an eye. He ushered me in, grabbed my bag, and just *knew* I needed a hot chocolate.
WORTH IT? That depends on your definition of "worth it." My bank account hates me for it. My soul? My soul is eternally grateful. It's not just the fluffy robes (and, trust me, the robes are LIFE), it's the *feeling*. Like, genuinely feeling relaxed, like you can *breathe*. That, my friends, is priceless.
What about the rooms? Are the views as amazing as they look in the photos? (Because let's be honest, often those photos are lies.)
Okay, okay, I'll be honest: I *wept* softly the first time I saw the view from my room. Not kidding. I actually did the little happy sniffle thing. The photos? They don't *quite* capture it. They can’t. You're overlooking Elliott Bay, the Olympic Mountains... it's a postcard brought to life. Seriously, the light at sunset? Forget about it. You might as well just cancel your dinner reservations and order room service, because you'll be glued to the window. And the rooms themselves? Impeccable. They're pristine and modern yet warm and inviting. I mean, hello heated floors in the bathrooms! Little touches like that instantly make you feel like you've made a good decision booking the hotel. The bed? You’ll sleep in it like a baby, only a baby that’s really well-rested. Honestly, the rooms are a big reason why the credit card bill is so hefty.
Okay, pool time! Tell me about the pool. Is it crowded? Is it worth it? (Because I'm picturing hordes of screaming kids.)
The pool. Oh, the pool. Okay, confession time: I may or may not have spent an embarrassing amount of time *just* sitting in the pool. Not swimming. Just... floating. It's an infinity pool overlooking the bay, so the water just *blends* with the Puget Sound. It's heated, of course. And the service? Perfection. They bring you towels, they bring you drinks, they bring you snacks. You barely have to lift a finger.
Crowds? Surprisingly, no. Even on the busiest days, it never felt overcrowded. Maybe it's the money. The sheer cost of the place might be a natural deterrent to screaming hordes of kids. Which, let's be honest, is a definite plus. I have a kid! But even I need a break. So, yes. Absolutely worth it.
I once saw a guy fall asleep at the bar there, just slumping over on the bar stool. The staff were very respectful and let him be, it was hilarious and very telling of how comfortable some of the guests there can get.
Oh, and the pool *bar*? Don't even get me started. Cocktails and sunshine - how could you go wrong?!
Let's talk spa. How is the spa experience? Is it as relaxing as it sounds? (Because I need to be *utterly* de-stressed.)
Oh, the spa. Okay, so I needed to get away from the stress of my life. I went for a massage once, the "Signature Four Seasons Massage" or something highfalutin like that. I was a mess when I walked in. Seriously, I think I was about to spontaneously combust from the pressure of everything. My shoulders were up around my ears. I felt like I was carrying the weight of the world, and probably did, thanks to a giant grocery haul earlier that day.
Anyway, the spa. The atmosphere alone is almost enough to send you into a blissful coma. It’s hushed, it's fragrant, it's all soft lighting and fluffy everything. The staff? Angelic. They glide around like ethereal beings, practically reading your mind. The massage? Okay, I swear, I think I actually *levitated* during a chunk of it. I'm not even kidding. Like, I emerged from that room a completely different person. My shoulders? Down. My stress levels? Non-existent. The only downside? Having to rejoin the real world afterward. It was a truly magical experience. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reset.
Food! What's the food at the Four Seasons like? Worth the price tag? (Because I can eat a whole pizza by myself.)
Okay, pizza lover, listen up! The food… it's *amazing*. Now, yes, it's pricey. Let's not sugarcoat it. But the quality is just… next level. I'm a total seafood fiend, and the fresh, local options? To die for. The oysters? Perfect. The Dungeness crab? Unforgettable.
There are multiple restaurants. Goldfinch Tavern is the main restaurant. It is absolutely gorgeous. Try to go there. They have a fantastic happy hour. But even breakfast in your room is perfect. They also have a bunch of yummy pastries and coffee. There's outdoor seating at their small cafe area, which is so nice during the summer.
It's not just the food, though. It's the presentation, the service, the ambience. It's an *experience*. Is it worth it? Again, it depends! If you love food and you appreciate quality, then yes. But if you're on a budget, maybe save up for one *really* special meal. You won't regret it. Or just sneak a whole pizza in your tote bag. The hotel wouldn't recommend this, just saying.
Is it family-friendly? (We're talking kids, here.)
This is a tricky one. On the surface, sure! The Four Seasons *says* they're family-friendly. They have kids' activities, they'll bring you extra cribs, etc. But… let's be real. It's a *luxury* hotel. So, will they welcome kids? Yes. Will they make it a priority? Probably not.
