Luxury hotels aren't hard to find in downtown Seattle. Finding one that feels distinctly connected to the Pacific Northwest takes a little more effort. LOTTE Hotel Seattle has built a reputation for doing both. Since opening in 2020, the property has collected some of the travel industry's highest honors, including Travel + Leisure's No. 1 Hotel in Seattle ranking, TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice Best of the Best award, and Michelin Keys in 2024 and 2025.
The Michelin recognition is extended to fewer than 1% of properties worldwide, and it came with an interesting observation. Inspectors singled out the hotel's woodsy, nature-inspired design, an uncommon compliment for a glass skyscraper in the heart of downtown Seattle. The contrast helps define the experience, blending contemporary luxury with design elements that reflect the Pacific Northwest.
