When Sheraton Grand Seattle wins: Choose Sheraton Grand if you’re attending a conference or event — it’s adjacent to the Washington State Convention Center, has far more meeting rooms and expansive ballrooms, and its 35th-floor pool and fitness center are strong draws for guests who want skyline and water vistas from higher floors.
When Seattle Marriott Waterfront wins: Pick the Marriott Waterfront if you want to be literally on the downtown waterfront near cruise piers, the Seattle Aquarium and Great Wheel, or if you prefer a Marriott-branded waterfront hotel experience with both an indoor and outdoor pool.
