Quick Verdict: Four Seasons Hotel Seattle vs Sheraton Grand Seattle

When Four Seasons Hotel Seattle wins: choose Four Seasons if you want fewer rooms, a stronger focus on luxury service, a noted Forbes-rated spa, rooftop infinity-pool views of Elliott Bay, and proximity to the waterfront and Pike Place Market.

When Sheraton Grand Seattle wins: choose Sheraton Grand if you need lots of meeting and event space, value an extensive set of accessible services and facilities, or want a large-brand property in the heart of downtown within easy walking distance of the convention center.

Bottom line: Both are convenient downtown picks, but Four Seasons is the smaller, luxury-focused waterfront option; Sheraton Grand is a very large, full-service convention hotel that works better for groups and event-driven stays.
