Best for large conventions, weddings, groups and travelers who want maximum meeting space and many room options in downtown Seattle.

Best for travelers after five-star service, rooms with bay views, an on-site pool and a location steps from Pike Place Market and the waterfront.
When Hyatt Regency Seattle wins: choose the Hyatt if you need very large meeting and event space, lots of guestrooms (1,260 rooms), or a practical downtown base for convention or group travel.
When Four Seasons Hotel Seattle wins: choose the Four Seasons if you want a polished five-star stay, in-house spa and outdoor pool, and immediate access to Pike Place Market and the waterfront.
Bottom line: both are premium downtown hotels, but they serve different priorities — Hyatt Regency Seattle for scale and events; Four Seasons Hotel Seattle for waterfront luxury and service.
