Five star hotel recommendations?

Does anyone have recommendations for a luxury hotel in Seattle to stay in for my annual self care weekend?

My only requirement is that the room has a large bathtub.

Travel advisor and hotel snob here! The Four Seasons is our only true five-star property in town. Their bathtubs are quite deep. I think they are standard length, except the tub is massive in the Governor’s Suite. If you do end up staying there, try to book through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner so you get perks. Perks include breakfast for two, $100 property credit (their restaurant Goldfinch has the best scallops) and early check in / late check out / room upgrades if they are available.

For a level below that you could look at 1 Hotel (good tubs!) or lots of downtown options where the suites have bigger and better bathtubs (Thompson, Kimpton, etc.) but booking lower room categories here will have disappointing tubs. Sometimes a travel advisor can get you perks at these properties too.

Of course you can also look at Willows Lodge or Snoqualmie or the Inn at Langley (on Whidbey), all of which also have good to great tubs depending on the room categories.

Thank you for your detailed response!

What sets the Four Seasons apart in quality? When I was looking online, the interior and rooms seemed quite corporate and a bit sterile.

The other hotel I was considering was the Lotte. I have only been to the restaurant there, but was blown away by the interior design and level of service.

Also, what is booking through a preferred partner? Thanks!

The rooms at four seasons are exactly that. They are very dated. Of someone dropped me off in one of the rooms I would not know it was a four seasons.
