Lying just 100 miles from the border with Canada, Seattle is the most northern major city in America outside Alaska, a state with which it has regular sea and air connections. The city is in Washington State, sandwiched between Lake Washington and the Puget sound of the Pacific Ocean. As a result its history is linked with trade and travel through its seaport, and leisure activities are invariably associated with the natural land, lake and seascapes. The city has a real buzz about it too, in arts and culture and in music and entertainment. The high number and quality of 5 star hotels Seattle has reflect its standing in the country and the world.
Seattle is a relatively new city, in western terms. Founded in just 1851 the early settlement was boosted by the timber trade, the gold rush and as a premier port of the Pacific. In modern times, the traditional industries have been largely replaced by high tech innovation and aviation and as home to Boeing and latterly many IT and biotech firms, the population of the city is amongst the most highly educated in the country. As a result, in its 5 star hotels Seattle business interests are generally well taken care of and they contain all the latest technologies, services and facilities to allow a seamless transition from airport to hotel to business.
Business is booming for sure and real estate is expensive but it is perhaps the leisure aspects of the city and its heritage in music and the arts which define it most to visitors. Coffee shop culture was invented in the city and it is indeed a place for coffee lovers, with Starbucks being the most famous of its universal exports. Coffee shops are places to hang out with friends, surf the internet, listen to some open mic comedy and poetry, or even just to enjoy the brew. There are many other bars and restaurants too of course and traditional open marketplaces amidst all the opportunities for shopping and seeing the sights. 5 star hotels Seattle are likely to incorporate some excellent spaces in which to enjoy coffee and drinks too.
5 star hotels Seattle can take on a variety of architectural forms. It is a very modern city and particularly in the down town area there is the kind of stunning modernist high rise buildings typical of any important city financial district. The skyline is dominated by the Space Needle, a tower which dates from the Century 21st Exhibition, hosted in the city in 1962. The original neighborhoods which have come together to form the contemporary city still retain much of their individual characters and often host their own festivals and events. Hotels will reflect some of the character of their neighborhood too and will certainly place guests at the heart of the local activities.
While the 5 star hotels Seattle will certainly provide convenient access to all the city has to offer there are of course other reasons for choosing such high quality accommodation. A great base in the city is a good thing to have but is made all the more special when superior comforts and first class facilities offer a space of luxury and exclusivity set apart from the busy streets. Certain features come as standard with 5 star hotels, such as exquisite environments in which to dine or relax with drinks, after which retiring to a room or suite means the finest soft furnishings, stylish decor and a host of amenities. These will include everything from 24 hour room service and user controlled air conditioning to fully stocked mini-bars and flat screen TV with pay per view movies and other entertainment channels.
Rooms of 5 star hotels Seattle will be similarly equipped with the right tools for business, including international direct dial telephones, work desks and high speed internet connectivity. Often a top hotel will have additional executive suites available , which will include many more functional aspects for business and sometimes whole floors set aside for the executive traveler, offering exclusivity and access to business centers and executive lounges, with drinks, snacks, and coffee available on demand. Additional extras are usually available for any guest, such as airport transfers and express check-in.
This is essentially the whole point of 5 star hotels Seattle or anywhere else; to provide guests with as much or as little in the way of service as they require for the the perfect stay in the city. For leisure travelers this will mean access to hotel facilities such as restaurants, swimming pools, fitness suites or any other available option but also to get the right visitor information on what is happening in the city, whether for booking tickets for shows and entertainment, or travel options to the wider natural attractions of Washington State and even onward trips to Alaska and other popular destinations from the port and airport.
