Reception

[edit]

In 2016, PCMag included the Grand Hyatt Seattle in a selection of the city's best "wired" hotels.[8] Fodor's has recommended the hotel for its location, views, large bathrooms, and on-site restaurants, but cited traffic noise and charges for Wi-Fi and select services in the business center as cons.[9] Frommer's rates the hotel two out of three stars.[10] The website included the Grand Hyatt Seattle in a 2006 overview of the "best bets for a place to stay" in the city and said, "Stylish without being trendy, this luxury downtown tower hotel provides not only the finest room amenities but also the best service."[11] U.S. News & World Report has ranked the hotel eighth in downtown Seattle, twelfth in the city, number 17 in Washington, and number 748 in the U.S.[12]
