Holiday Inn Seattle Downtown Hotel Shuttles

A modest choice for those interested in keeping things urban, the Holiday Inn Seattle Downtown is especially popular for low-key business travelers and families. Updated rooms include geometric designs on the carpet and cool blue hues, a few suites adding modern living areas and kitchenettes. The hotel also offers an indoor swimming area and fitness room, not to mention all-American eats served at a diner-style restaurant in the lobby. To sightsee with ease, walk east along Thomas Street toward the Westlake/Thomas Light Rail Link, or consider renting a private vehicle for the freedom to see what’s beyond the city, choosing between small sedans for quiet drives up to Discovery Park’s beaches or roomy SUVs offering the chance to forget time at Golden Gardens Park. Meet-and-greet services make distant drop just as easy, whether it be through a quick taxi lift to Seattle-Tacoma International or chauffeured limousines for events at the Seattle Center.

Walking distance from Denny Park’s urban acreage as well as the slightly further Space Needle Park’s various exhibits, restaurants and Seattle Center convention space, the hotel offers just about everything guests could need to have a good day. Popular landmarks within this green space include the Museum of Pop Culture’s many odes to modern icons, while the Chihuly Garden and Glass is a step toward thoughtful modern art and glass works created by artist Dale Chihuly. At the park’s core is the International Fountain, and on either side sports games ranging from the basketball games at KeyArena to soccer matches at Memorial Stadium. And once the afternoon is all spent, continue to the north side of the park’s grounds for theater options ranging from the ballet & opera of Marion Oliver McCaw Hall to Seattle Rep’s glimpses at creative local playwrights. And of course, guests can end the evening with dinner at the beloved Toulouse Petit, home to classic Cajun-Creole paired with an industrial setting.
