The 7 BEST Seattle Hotels We'd Love to Check Into (2019
"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."
"This spa is well known and loved by Seattleites so you know we had to include it. Banya 5 is pretty much the place to head if you’re in need of a relaxing day, scrub, or serious bodywork massage. But keep in mind they are only doing massages at this time."
"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."
"Come on over to the Eastside for some luxurious pampering in an unexpected space. Tucked into a Bellevue megatower, this newish, 8,000-square-foot spa combines swank with traditional, all the while honoring owner Z Zhang's Chinese roots. Think pedicures, body scrubs, massage treatments and a communal bathing area."
"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?"
"Penelope The Beauty Bar is a gorgeous boutique spa inside the Fairmont downtown Seattle which has the newest gadgets like these hot tubs that are inflatable. I must start with that they have the best service in the whole city. I scheduled my mom and I appointments to celebrate her birthday and somehow I totally goofed and ended up showing up on the wrong day."
"A post shared by PENELOPE + The Beauty Bar (@penelopeandthebeautybar). And if you want to kick up your spa experience a notch you can head over to Penelope and The Beauty Bar inside the Fairmont hotel. This spa is known for its facials and use of super high-quality products."
"Penelope offers everything you’d expect from a spa at the Fairmont Olympic and more. Choose from a menu of body wraps, skin scrubs, a selection of massages and specialty skincare services. The spa’s full range of services also includes hair styling and makeup application."
"Massage Envy provides massage, skin care and total body stretch services which are an integral part of total body wellness and a healthy lifestyle. Keep your body working with Massage Envy. Schedule an appointment today!"

"If you have followed me for awhile now, you know I go to lashbombsalon.com almost twice a month now. I originally found them because I was on the hunt for a Lash Lift place near me and just happened to stumble upon them on Instagram. I am huge on lash lifts over lash extensions because I love my natural lashes, the only problem is that they have zero curl to them naturally, so the lash lift is a game changer for me!"
"For the uninitiated, ube sounds more like a car-sharing app than the sweet, violet yam that it is. Yet, it’s the exact ingredient that helped amass a cult following for Hood Famous Bakeshop, a small, subterranean bakery off Shilshole Avenue in Ballard. Owner Chera Amlag bakes cheesecake, but tempers its classic Americana with a Filipino touch."
"While better known for their cheesecakes, Ballard’s Hood Famous Bakeshop should be known for their Ube Cookie. This chewy and carve-able cookie is a distinctive purple with a crackled top. Made with ube, a purple yam popular in Filipino desserts, the cookie has a buttery, vanilla flavor reminiscent to a sugar cookie, but better."
"Hours of Operation: For Lunch and Dinner Wednesdays-Saturdays. Zheng Cafe features Wuhan style street foods made fresh from scratch each morning. From noodles and soups to their steamed buns, Zheng Cafe offers delicious options in a fast and convenient counter-service style."
"Temple Pastries has recently made the transition from local pop-ups to a storefront location and has emerged as one of the best bakeries in Seattle. We love that unique ingredients are used in many of their creations, including buckwheat, rye, and spelt, but what truly sets this bakery apart is their cruffin. A cruffin is a hybrid between a croissant and a muffin that tastes like a match made in foodie heaven, and the one from Temple Pastries is hard to beat."
"Known for its thoughtful use of local ingredients, the longtime pop-up recently opened its first fixed location in the Central District, with a selection of savory and sweet baked goods. Miso caramel muffins, malted milk chocolate tarts, and pistachio schneckens are among the treats, paired with roasts from partner Broadcast Coffee, all available for takeout.

"Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account. Lunch CHEF SALAD 🥗 Piled high with turkey, ham, bacon, eggs, cheese, hard boiled eggs, orange slices, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions!. ALL THE GOOD STUFF ONLY $8‼"
"Hop on your bikes and cruise down the Burke Gilman Trail to Peddler Brewing Company. Not only does this Ballard brewery have a dozen brews on top, it also has a giant outdoor beer garden where dogs and kids are welcome. While you sip your beer, your kids can explore the play area and perfect their cornhole skills."
"Peddler Brewing Company is a Ballard brewery and tasting room. Owners Haley Woods and David Keller combined their love of riding bikes, brewing and drinking beer and opened this popular spot in March of 2013. Peddler boats s a seven-barrel brewing system which pumps out up to 14 kegs of beer per batch."
"As you might expect for a bicycle brewery, most patrons are donning their finest athleisure ware. People routinely stop here for a beer pitstop on a weekend ride. Bicycle races are usually playing on a TV in the beer garden."
