Getting around: Located downtown, the hotel is within walking distance of offices, shops, restaurants, live entertainment, and other attractions. Taxis—best arranged by phone—are convenient for short distances. Also, a large "ride free zone" spanning practically all of downtown allows riders to enjoy complimentary bus service. Although rush hour traffic is heavy, it is also possible to drive downtown; garages are generally easier to find than on-street parking. Rental cars are definitely the best bet for travel beyond the immediate area.

Insider tip: Visitors to the Emerald City often enjoy a ride on an elevated train called the monorail. It travels to and from Westlake Center—an upscale shopping mall at Fourth Ave and Pine St—and Seattle Center, whose attractions include the Space Needle and the Experience Music Project. Hotel guests can walk three blocks to the Westlake Center stop and make the trip to Seattle Center for less than $5; trains leave every 10 minutes. Fee subject to change without notice.

Starbucks - Start your morning off with a hot latte, espresso, or drip coffee. Bagels and pastries are available.

Designer Betty Blount's discerning eye formed the interior's naturalistic, yet elegant feel. Wallpaper and ceiling tile are eschewed in favor of hardwoods, natural stone, and oxidized metal. In the lobby, African woods meld seamlessly with commissioned artwork and contemporary furniture in a warmly-lit environment.

Amenity highlights: There's no more impressive spot in Seattle to work out than the Grand Hyatt's cutting-edge athletic club. The thoughtfully designed space, occupying 3,800 square feet, continues the hotel's careful attention to both aesthetics and technology. Beautiful koa wood covers the floor of the main room, and a blue stone mosaic lines the wall of the whirlpool area. Flat-screen TVs on every cardio machine help take the boredom out of keeping fit. The club features the latest strength training and cardiovascular equipment, and if it’s relaxation you’re in the mood for, there’s a sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, and two massage treatment rooms.

Insider tip: Can't find the "Do Not Disturb" sign to hang on the doorknob? No worries—just push the little button to activate a red “Do Not Disturb” light that displays next to your guestroom door.
