Heathman Hotel Kirkland: Downtown Waterfront Stay

The Heathman Hotel in Kirkland is a comfortable downtown stay a short walk from the waterfront, parks, and local shops. Rooms are modern and quiet, and the location makes it easy to split your time between relaxing in the room and exploring the neighborhood on foot. You can stroll down to the marina, walk along the lakefront, or find a spot for drinks and dessert nearby. It works well as a one night staycation when you want a change of scenery without going far from Seattle.

For food, start with Pacific Northwest inspired plates and cocktails at Hearth inside the hotel. If you want to get closer to the lake, Cactus offers lakeside margaritas and modern Mexican dishes. For a relaxed drink or nightcap, Bottle and Bull is a short walk away and has a cozy, low lit atmosphere.
