Expert Review

Cute and quiet, yet smack dab in the middle of one of Seattle’s main attractions, Pike Place Market, the Inn at the Market is a great find. Its up-the-street location makes guest feel like they’re a world away while overlooking the bustling market from their rooms. The welcoming lobby, centered around a fireplace, features slate-tile floors, handcrafted European-style furnishings in rich, earthy colors, and a selection of Northwest art. A fountain courtyard surrounded by ivy-laden walls is a serene spot to dine, while the private rooftop garden is the place for views of the Olympic mountain range and Elliott Bay. All 70 guestrooms exemplify understated luxury and offer views of the bay, Post Alley, Pike Place Market, or the courtyard. Rooms have silk and chenille accents that give them a plush, luxurious feel. Units optimize views with floor-to-ceiling bay windows (that open) and have Tempur-pedic beds.
