Seattle Luxury Holidays

Any stay in the city should start with a visit to the institution that is Pike Place Market, where visitors can get a flavour (quite literally) of what makes the city tick. Founded in 1907 to offer fresh local produce to the masses, the market has held true to its roots and is still a hub for fresh artisanal produce and grassroots businesses. Sample some of the experimental farm-to-fork-fodder as well as old classics like fried chicken, before sipping a cup of freshly brewed coffee from the only city that can call Starbucks a local business.

A visit to quirky Capitol Hill is a must. The city's bohemian neighbourhood, Capitol Hill houses two fantastic art museums and even a statue of Seattle-born Jimi Hendrix. Back in the centre and Queen Anne neighbourhood, the iconic Space Needle towers over the city and offers visitors the best views in town from it's 520 ft observation deck. Within a stone's throw of the base, another of the city's highlights can be found – this time the architecturally stunning avant-garde Museum of Pop Culture which is as engrossing inside as it is out.
