lakefront · boutique spa · Kirkland

Best for a quieter lakefront stay with direct access to Lake Washington, a marina, watersports, and a boutique full-service spa.

Quick Verdict: Four Seasons Hotel Seattle vs The Woodmark Hotel & Still Spa on Lake Washington

Four Seasons Hotel Seattle wins when you want immediate walkability to Pike Place Market, museums, seafood restaurants, and a large, Forbes-rated spa plus a heated rooftop infinity pool and house car service for short downtown trips.

The Woodmark Hotel & Still Spa on Lake Washington wins when you prefer a smaller, lakefront boutique property with marina access, on-site water activities (kayaking, paddleboarding, boating) and a more relaxed Kirkland/base-outside-Seattle pace.

Bottom line: Choose Four Seasons for downtown Seattle access, larger event/meeting facilities and a high-end urban spa/pool experience; choose The Woodmark when a lakeside setting, personal watercraft and boutique spa calm in Kirkland matter more than being in the city center.

Location: Four Seasons Seattle vs The Woodmark

Four Seasons Hotel Seattle – Location

Four Seasons sits in downtown Seattle at 99 Union Street, across from the Seattle Art Museum and a short walk to Pike Place Market.

  • Immediate access to downtown attractions, ferry terminals, galleries and major event venues.
  • Complimentary house car for nearby downtown trips within one mile.
  • Walkable neighborhood with many restaurants, bars and shops close by.

Best if you want to be inside Seattle’s central sightseeing and dining area.

The Woodmark Hotel & Still Spa on Lake Washington – Location

The Woodmark is a lakefront hotel at 1200 Carillon Pt in Kirkland, directly on Lake Washington.

  • Located about 0.1 mi (0.2 km) from Lake Washington shoreline and offers a marina.
  • About a 10-minute drive to Bellevue Square and convenient for Microsoft and Redmond excursions.
  • A car is recommended for broader area travel; an airport shuttle is available (surcharge).

Better if you prefer quieter waterside lodging outside downtown Seattle.

Rooms: space, views and options

Four Seasons Hotel Seattle – Rooms

Four Seasons has 147 guest rooms and 13 suites with city and Elliott Bay views available.

  • Room types include Room (various view options), Deluxe and multiple suite categories (e.g., Deluxe Elliott Bay Suite).
  • Complimentary in-room Wi‑Fi; many rooms have Bay or Seattle views.
  • Room and suite design reflects a larger-brand luxury hotel with full service.

Choose Four Seasons for a wide selection of room categories and downtown/harbor views.

The Woodmark Hotel & Still Spa on Lake Washington – Rooms

The Woodmark offers 100 guestrooms with both standard and lakefront room options and a few suite layouts.

  • Room types listed include Room, 1 King Bed (Lakefront), Room, 2 Queen Beds (Lakefront), Junior Suite and multiple suite options.
  • Rooms feature pillowtop beds, Egyptian cotton sheets and rainfall showerheads in private bathrooms.
  • Some rooms are explicitly labeled 'Lakefront' for direct water views.

Select The Woodmark if having a lake view or intimate boutique room matters more than many room categories.

Dining & drinks: waterfront Pacific Northwest vs Kirkland lake menus

Four Seasons Hotel Seattle – Dining & drinks

Four Seasons’ in-house dining centers on Goldfinch Tavern and the poolside INFINITY pool + bar.

  • Goldfinch Tavern serves Pacific Northwest seafood and regional produce for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.
  • INFINITY pool + bar serves poolside snacks, seasonal cocktails and the signature Goldfinch Burger (seasonal hours).
  • Goldfinch has private dining rooms and reservations are recommended for brunch and dinner.

Better for guests wanting a notable chef-driven Pacific Northwest restaurant in downtown Seattle.

The Woodmark Hotel & Still Spa on Lake Washington – Dining & drinks

The Woodmark has one on-site restaurant and a coffee shop/cafe, plus limited hours room service.

  • Cooked-to-order breakfasts are available daily for a surcharge (7:00 AM–11:00 AM).
  • A coffee shop/cafe is on property for lighter fare and snacks.
  • The hotel provides in-room dining during limited hours.

Good for straightforward lakeside dining; dining options are smaller in scale than a downtown luxury hotel.

Signature amenity: rooftop pool & city views vs marina and water activities

Four Seasons Hotel Seattle – Signature amenity

Four Seasons’ signature amenity is its rooftop heated infinity-edge pool and terrace with Elliott Bay views.

  • Pool is approximately 40 feet long, heated and open seasonally (spring–fall), with a whirlpool/hot tub and fireplace on the terrace.
  • Pool access and pool bar service are exclusive to hotel overnight guests; pool hours run daily 6:00 AM–10:00 PM.
  • INFINITY pool + bar offers seasonal food and drink service Memorial Day–Labor Day.

Ideal if a rooftop pool with harbor views and a hotel-only pool experience is a priority.

The Woodmark Hotel & Still Spa on Lake Washington – Signature amenity

The Woodmark’s waterfront access and marina are its signature draw for guests who want on-the-water options.

  • On-site marina, personal motorized watercraft and boat tours are listed among property amenities.
  • Paddleboard, kayaking and water-sports equipment are available; swimming is listed as a nearby activity.
  • Free bicycles and nearby hiking/biking trails add land-based activity options.

Pick The Woodmark to prioritize direct lake access and easy water activities over a hotel pool.

Wellness & nightlife: spas, gyms and evening options

Four Seasons Hotel Seattle – Wellness & nightlife

Four Seasons provides a larger spa and a 24-hour Fitness Centre with Elliott Bay views.

  • The Spa at Four Seasons — 6,000 sq ft, eight treatment rooms, couples' suite, Forbes Four-Star rating.
  • Spa facilities (lounges/locker rooms) require guests to be 16 or older; massages available from age 12 with guardian.
  • 24-hour Fitness Centre with Peloton bikes, free weights and eucalyptus steam room; nightlife is downtown nightlife and dining.

Stronger for guests wanting a large, highly rated urban spa and round-the-clock gym access with immediate night-out options.

The Woodmark Hotel & Still Spa on Lake Washington – Wellness & nightlife

The Woodmark has a full-service spa and quiet evening options by the lake.

  • Full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials; spa is wheelchair-accessible.
  • Evening atmosphere is quieter and more residential; dining and bars are on-site or in nearby Kirkland rather than a downtown scene.
  • Multilingual staff, hair salon and concierge services support wellness and local arrangements.

Better for guests who want a relaxed spa evening and low-key lakeside evenings rather than downtown nightlife.
