A propriedade — The State Hotel

The State Hotel sits in a converted 1920s brick building on Seattle's Pioneer Square, with a lobby that mixes dark wood, vintage tile, and a working fireplace. It feels like a smart, no-fuss base for exploring downtown, with rooms that prioritise clean lines and good coffee over frills. Best for travellers who want walkable access to Pike Place Market and the waterfront, and don't need a pool or spa. The vibe is efficient and slightly retro, not flashy.

Crónicas de Seattle

Seattle was founded in the 1850s after the Denny Party landed at Alki Point, heavily dependent on its deep-water port and the timber industry. The 1897 Klondike Gold Rush turned the town into a boomtown, and the Great Seattle Fire of 1889 prompted a rebuild with brick and stone, giving Pioneer Square its historic character. Boeing's rise in the 20th century reshaped the region's economy, while the 1962 World's Fair left the Space Needle and a legacy of tech innovation. Today, Seattle is a global hub for cloud computing and coffee culture, with a laid-back, rain-resistant identity rooted in its maritime geography.

Melhores meses

July and August: reliably warm, low rainfall, and long daylight hours for exploring parks and outdoor markets. Early September also holds good weather with slightly thinner crowds.

Peak / Festival Surge

July is the peak month, driven by the Seafair summer festival and Independence Day events. Hotel rates in central Seattle can double, and advance booking is essential.

Orçamento da temporada

May and late September offer lower hotel rates, fewer tourists, and still-decent weather—May averages 18°C but light drizzle is possible. October brings autumn colour and real discounts.

Tempo e embalagem

Seattle in July is warm but can be overcast or breezy, especially near the water. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket, comfortable walking shoes, and layers—no sandals unless you're staying dry.
