Hotel
We have reserved a block of rooms for our guests needing overnight accommodations. This hotel is in the heart of downtown, within easy walking distance to Pike Place Market, the waterfront and some great shopping! The Space Needle and the Chihuly Garden & Glass Exhibit are a quick Monorail ride away. Sodo Park, the wedding venue, is close by too. Room rate is $189. The rooms will be on the Executive level which includes breakfast. Rooms are available at this rate for the 3 days prior to and 3 days after the wedding if you would like to enjoy Seattle a little bit longer. If you have a car, parking is $45/day. The hotel is just 3 blocks from the University Station on the Link Light Rail that is about a 45 minute ride from SeaTac Airport. The train runs every 10-15 minutes and is $3 per person. Taxi, Uber or Lyft is about $40 to downtown. Reservations do need to be made by August 19. Free cancellation up to 72 hours prior to arrival. Call 800-HILTONS and request group code SMWED to book
Hotel
If you are looking for a bit more 'character' in your stay, we found these apartments listed on Airbnb or you can visit their website, Merchantshotel.com. The hotel rooms are in an historic building that is also the home of the Merchant Cafe, Seattle's oldest bar right in the center of Pioneer Square, where Seattle was founded. There are 6 rooms. Its a 2 block walk from the Pioneer Square Link Light Rail Station. Nightly rates seem to vary between $140-$160 (plus taxes and fees). They are very close to the football stadium and with a home game that weekend are very likely to book fast....of course these are not your only options. Please feel free to explore all the city has to offer!
