At a glance — location and vibe
Hyatt Regency Seattle sits at 808 Howell Street in downtown Seattle, two short blocks from the Washington State Convention Center and within easy walking distance of many downtown sights.
The hotel opened in 2018 and is a 45-story, 1,260-room property aimed at business and convention travelers as well as families—so the atmosphere is modern and busy rather than boutique or secluded.
