Best for large conferences, weddings and travelers who want many guestrooms and extensive meeting space right by the convention center.

Best for travelers seeking a five-star downtown stay with a full-service spa, refined dining and city/bay views.
When Hyatt Regency Seattle wins: choose Hyatt if you need large-capacity meeting and event facilities, lots of rooms (1,260 guestrooms) and a practical downtown base for business or a family group.
When Lotte Hotel Seattle wins: choose Lotte if you want a smaller, five-star luxury property with a dedicated full-service spa, a single fine-dining restaurant (Charlotte Restaurant) and more design-focused rooms.
Bottom line: both are centrally located downtown options—pick Hyatt for scale, events and convention convenience; pick Lotte for a quieter, higher-end in-town luxury stay.
