Away from the bustle of downtown and near the University of Washington, Watertown offers a holistic approach to your visit. Named Best of the City by National Geographic Traveler, the Watertown offers healthy food and free loaner bikes for checking out the neighborhood. Forty-two, the hotel’s wine bar, can fulfill your craving for tasty and wholesome light fare. Guest rooms are crowned with enormous windows that flood most rooms with natural light. Interiors are modern without being stark, and usually feature retro-influenced square-edged furnishings in calming maritime colors. Full-length mirrors and platform beds add flair to this unusual and innovative hotel. Unless you have a car, the Watertown is probably best for those coming to visit the University or who have business in the area. However, if U-Town is your Seattle neighborhood of choice, then you may be interested in joining the ranks of the Watertown faithful.
