A historic trolley runs along Alaskan Way, stopping right across from the hotel.

The Edgewater is located near the north end of Alaskan Way, which runs along the waterfront, at the northwest tip of downtown. Conference centers and major attractions are within walking distance. Metro buses are free within the downtown core during the day, and the Monorail shuttles between downtown and Seattle Center. Beyond downtown, a car is the most convenient option.

Starbucks Coffee Kiosk - Guests can grab coffee drinks and pastries to go at this in-lobby stand.

Amenity highlights: The Edgewater—floating like a cruise ship over the water—is still the quintessential Seattle hotel. Guests enjoy panoramic views of Elliott Bay, Puget Sound, and the snow-capped Olympic Mountains from almost everywhere on-site. After an extensive renovation in 2001–02, the 1962 landmark is more polished and tech-savvy, with an updated lobby and a restaurant that combines Northwest materials of stone and rock with 21st-century glass and steel.

Insider tip: Directly across the street from the hotel, guests can catch one of the waterfront streetcars, historic trolleys imported from Australia. The cheerful green trolleys provide scenic rides south along Elliott Bay to Pioneer Square and the International District, and north to Myrtle Edwards Park. Trolleys run every 20 minutes daily, and are fully accessible for riders with disabilities.

These days, business travelers and vacationers fill most of the rooms. The soul of the hotel is its lobby, with its two-story-tall picture windows and 180-degree views of water, sky, and mountains. Guests meet, mingle, and take advantage of wireless Internet access next to river-rock fireplaces and framed paintings of salmon. In addition to its 10 meeting and banquet rooms (all with views), the hotel has a Northwest-oriented gift shop, a small fitness room, and complimentary shuttle service to downtown that operates every hour.
