The 6 Best Luxury Hotels in Seattle
"This spa in South Lake Union is based on the tradition of Russian banyas, Finnish saunas and the like. Entry to the spa gives guests use of the Parilka (a sauna made of concrete and brick for penetrating heat), a Turkish steam room, a saltwater tepid pool (kept at 87 degrees), a cold plunge pool, a hot pool (kept at 104 degrees) and a tea lounge and nap room. For an additional fee, book a massage, body treatment or facial—or one of the packages available."
"If you’ve never been to a Russian bathhouse, Banya 5 in South Lake Union can provide you with an authentic introduction. If you’re already acquainted with and fond of the parilka, Banya 5 is a clean, spacious, and well-run place to treat yourself to a sauna and traditional oak branch massage. In addition to a scorching hot dry sauna, Banya 5 is equipped with a cryotherapeutic plunge pool and tepid pool."
"A co-ed hydrotherapy spa that combines a variety of traditions under one roof. Features include a Turkish steam room with eucalyptus, a saltwater pool, and a parilka (Russian sauna). A fun globe-trotting experience, in our eyes."
"Ancient Asian healing rituals blend harmoniously with modern-day spa luxuries and PNW vibes at Bellevue’s swanky Yuan Spa. In addition to first-rate body treatments, highlights of the Yuan Spa experience include a mood-lit steam sauna and complimentary refrigerated cold towels, eye-relaxing cucumber slices and exfoliating salt-scrub bars. Forty-five bucks gets you a day’s access to everything but personalized treatments from the spa’s trained professionals."
"And finally, we have to cap the list with Yuan Spa which offers your classic spa services. But they have a focus on Eastern Hollistic practices so you can also have services like cupping. So if you’re looking to try something new be sure to check out Yuan Spa."
"This is the closest to a full day spa experience you will get in the Seattle area. What I mean by that is that they have a sauna, steamroom, and hydrotherapy pools in addition to their services."
"Year after year, this waterfront Seattle spa receives positive critical reviews and appears on lists of the city’s best spas. Ananya is praised for the quality and variety of its massages facials and other skin care treatment offerings. Seattle A-List Best of 2017’s Day Spa winner, Ananya Spa is located just south of Olympic Sculpture Park."
"This is where we get into the spas that focus on massages and treatments more than communal stuff. Ananya Spa has a wide variety of massages available, ranging from hot stone to Swedish to Thai. There’s also body wraps, facials and waxing too."
"Not to mention they also offer couples packages if you want to have a relaxing day with your SO. And they also run some pretty great specials so be sure to check them out. Where: 2810 Elliott Ave"
"With the capacity to pamper just 14 patrons at a time, this all-female day spa near Seattle University is on the small side. But in addition to a massage room, HotHouse is home to a dry sauna, steam room, cold plunge shower and hot tub. The highly-rated spa is known for its friendly staff and affordable prices, with entry costing just 8."
"Another female only spot, Hothouse has some of the best rates in the city, with their spa use only costing $18. They’ve got all the amenities too- hot tub, steam room, sauna, and the good old cold plunge. Want to take things a step further?"
"A female only spa (sorry fellas), Ladywell’s focuses on hydrotherapy’s healing powers. They have 3 pools- a whirlpool, a soaking pool, and a plunge pool. They also have a dry cedar sauna, a steam bath and an infrared pink salt sauna with sand floors."
"Now open for limited in-person services including manicures, pedicures, facials, waxing and massage therapy at some locations.

"The new location and new ownership of the Flying Fish did not take anything from this upscale restaurant’s well-established reputation for super-fresh seafood and an innovative menu that changes daily as different seafood becomes available. Working with local fishermen and food producers, they bring super-fresh crabs, oysters, fish, meats, baked goods, and produce to the table. The large, bright dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows attracts both tourists and locals from nearby companies."
"The first rate service, impressive wine list and the ambiance strike an engaging balance between hip South Lake Union hang-out and serious-about-food upscale dinner house. Open for lunch and dinnerDress code: Dress JeansPhone: +1 206-728-8595. Learn MoreMake a Reservation"
"Carkeek is a relatively popular but less crowded natural space with a beautiful beach. It's in northwest Seattle, on the southern end of the Broadview neighborhood. The park comprises approximately 200 acres, including a generous stretch of Puget Sound shoreline."
"Say hello to real closeness to wildlife in Carkeek: starfish, salamanders, trouts and salmon are very common. Hiking trails will offer you extraordinary views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains."
"If you like going for long walks on the beach Carkeek Park is the place to do it. Just be sure you know your tide tables. Because if you don’t you could get stuck."
"Dedicated to making veganism accessible and delectable to everyone, the Plum Bistro incorporates the forward-thinking ideals of the new generations in every dish with the end goal of introducing people a plant-based lifestyle. From the juicy and mouthwatering buffalo portobello burger to flatbread pizzas like the Veggie Monster, the Plum Bistro serves up innovative vegan cuisine with stylish and colorful flair. They also offer vegan takes on bistro classics like ravioli, theirs being filled with sweet peas, while taking the streets by storm through the very first vegan food truck in Seattle."
"Sure, this Pike/Pine eatery serves up some stylish and innovative vegan dishes ranging from flatbread pizza to a handful of burgers (like the buffalo portobello) as well as a varied array of entries (black truffle gnocchi), but it doesn't stop there. They launched Seattle's first vegan food truck, a cookbook, and they cater."
"Another wholly vegan establishment, Plum Bistro is a favorite in the Pike/Pine Corridor. Stop by for date night, when a meal might consist of farro-and-mustard-green salad; pomegra..."
"OnlineThe best friend team behind Lady Grey Cakes, an online custom cake storefront, whips up artful creations that range from unexpected (blueberry pancake-influenced cake, anyone?) to comforting classics like dark chocolate with Nutella buttercream. The two-woman operation divides the work—Becca Hapke guides the menu, while Alia Al-Hatlani uses her background in oil painting to guide the pastel-swirled buttercream designs. They can satisfy any age, but these elegant wedding cake–adjacent decorations seem better suited for grown-up celebrations."
"The Sugar Bakery and Cafe was spun from a husband and wife’s experimentation with the apples from a tree in their front yard, but they didn’t stop there: pumpkin mousse cake, chocolate truffles, and toasted coconut cake show they’ve moved well past the apple tree. Salt and Straw has a handful of tailormade ice creams featuring local ingredients in each city. Image: Courtesy of Salt and Straw"
"Created by Stephanie Crocker (no relation to Betty) and her husband, John McCaig, Sugar Bakery makes cakes, pies, pastries, cookies, coffee, soups, and sammies…. 1014 Madison StFirst Hill 206-749-4105"
"Don’t get Bryn Lumsden twisted: His all-day restaurant in Interbay isn’t the hipsterification of the classic American diner, though the long, marble-esque bar, modern light fixtures, and list of natural wines could suggest otherwise. The man whose Damn the Weather bar in Pioneer Square is one of the city’s coolest watering holes has preserved the romantic elements that make diners great—proletarian menu mainstays like burgers, melts, meatloaf, even rib eye steak—and folded in a contemporary drink program with funky Spanish ciders, a calvados old-fashioned, and, yes, bubbles, too."
"Modern diner and bar — little sister to Damn the Weather"Champagne Diner is so pretty inside, it’s like a dream. You know you’re in a diner here — the long counter with its swivel stools, the color-flecked tabletops, the dove-gray upholstered booths — but you don’t know exactly when or where. This...Mehr"
"Pork belly reubens and omelets silky from a hint of gruyere, with a cocktail menu designed with the same care as the dining room, tucked improbably in an Interbay industrial complex."
