Bellevue Hotels

Seattle's polished neighbor across the lake

Bellevue sits directly across Lake Washington from Seattle, close enough for an easy day trip into the city but calmer and, in most seasons, a little cheaper to book. Downtown centers on Bellevue Square, one of the region's biggest shopping destinations, surrounded by a growing skyline.

It works especially well for business travelers and anyone who wants Seattle access without Seattle's downtown crowds and parking. The Bellevue Botanical Garden and Meydenbauer Bay Park give it some green space of its own.

Bellevue FAQ

Is Bellevue a good alternative to staying in Seattle?

Yes. It is directly across Lake Washington from Seattle, with light rail and bus connections into the city, and it tends to be a calmer, more affordable base.

What is there to do in Bellevue itself?

Bellevue Square for shopping, the Bellevue Botanical Garden, and Meydenbauer Bay Park on the lake. It is a good base rather than a destination in its own right.
