The Charter Hotel Seattle

The Charter Hotel Seattle is a mid-range hotel at 1610 2nd Ave in the Downtown district of Seattle, Washington, United States. The address is a few blocks from Pike Place Market, the waterfront, the Seattle Art Museum and the shopping streets around Pine Street, and Westlake Station, with light rail to Sea-Tac Airport and the monorail to Seattle Center, is within walking distance. The hotel sits on 2nd Avenue, which is a mix of office buildings, restaurants and hotels in the core of the city, giving a convenient base for visitors who plan to explore on foot. The property is an independent hotel within Marriott's Autograph-style collection of boutique-minded properties, and the design aims at a modern, comfortable feel rather than a large corporate chain look. Room types include king and queen rooms. Listed amenities include a fitness centre and a restaurant. The on-site restaurant serves guests for breakfast and later meals, while the surrounding downtown and Belltown areas offer a wide range of restaurants, cafes and bars that suit all budgets, including the casual counters of Pike Place Market. Nightly rates generally run from about $150 to $330, which places the hotel in the mid-range for downtown Seattle. Service is oriented toward business travellers and visitors seeking a central position without luxury rates, and the staff can usually advise on tickets for theatre and sports events nearby. Guests should verify current rates, parking charges and booking details at the property website, since downtown parking is expensive and usually charged separately, and the airport light rail link makes a car unnecessary for many stays.
