The Four Seasons carries the top marks in town from both guides we use. It's the city's only Forbes Four-Star hotel on Forbes's Seattle page and AAA Four Diamond, with an outdoor infinity pool heated to 84°F year-round over Elliott Bay.
The spa is Forbes Four-Star too, check-out is noon, and Goldfinch Tavern does dinner.
No distance to either pier and no cruise shuttle — the morning is yours to arrange. The free house car runs within a mile, first come, first served, and by our road estimate Pier 66 is about 0.8 miles away, inside that radius, though the hotel doesn't say it covers the pier. Valet is $75 a night.
Ask the concierge whether the house car will take you to Pier 66, and book a cab for Pier 91, about 3.5 miles by road on our estimate.
Book it if
- Anyone who wants Seattle's one Forbes Four-Star

What you’re paying for, and what you’re not
At the Four Seasons the money buys the pool and the ratings — not the morning, which you still arrange. Green is on offer, gold comes with a cost or a catch, grey isn’t there or isn’t stated.
Your night before, from here
Check-in to gangway at Four Seasons Seattle, built from what the hotel publishes plus our road estimates — the drive times are ours, not the hotel’s.
The only infinity-edge hotel pool in Seattle, in its own words: outdoors, heated to 84°F and open all year, over Elliott Bay. Goldfinch Tavern does dinner, and the spa is Forbes Four-Star.
Four Seasons mentions no cruise shuttle. Its free house car runs within a one-mile radius, first come first served; the hotel doesn't say whether that covers Pier 66.
Paid; a Bed and Breakfast offer includes it, and in-room dining runs 24 hours.
Four Seasons gives no distance to either pier. The hotel is across the street from the Seattle Art Museum and a block from Pike Place Market, in its words. Our road estimate is about 0.8 miles to Pier 66 and 3.5 miles to Pier 91 — empty-road figures, so pad them for traffic. Allow more than our estimate of 14 minutes from Four Seasons Seattle to Pier 91 — that figure assumes empty roads.
Valet is $75 a night, with vehicle clearance limits. Nothing about leaving the car while you cruise.
Getting to Four Seasons Seattle, then to the ship
By our road estimate the airport is about 23 minutes from Four Seasons Seattle and Pier 91 about 14, with no traffic — so the clock that matters is your check-in window, not the map.
