WATERTOWN IS A WONDER AMONG U DISTRICT HOTELS

Watertown Hotel, A Staypineapple Hotel

Among hotels in the University District, Watertown Hotel has what you need to make your Seattle trip one to remember. Situated in the heart of this eclectic neighborhood, our University District hotel offers the best of the local scene while putting you a short walking distance away from the University of Washington campus.

The University District, or U District, is a lively area bursting with cultural attractions, interesting shops and diverse dining options. As one of the best U District hotels, Watertown Hotel places you just steps away from all that makes this college town a place to visit on your Seattle trip.

University of Washington

Take a stroll through the historic University of Washington campus, where you can admire stunning architecture and a beautiful landscape that’s rich with gorgeous cherry blossom trees in the springtime. During the Cherry Blossom Festival, from March 21 to April 6, the U District is alive with celebrations. In addition to the vibrant blossoms at the Quad, you can enjoy special cherry and blossom-themed food, drinks and retail offers all around the neighborhood, making for an even more festive experience.

When June rolls around, celebrations and ceremonies for graduation week (June 8-14) will fill the UW campus with excitement. Whether you're attending a ceremony or soaking in the celebratory atmosphere, it's the perfect time to experience the energy of the U District and the vibrant campus spirit. Staying at Watertown Hotel offers the ultimate convenience, with its close proximity to the University of Washington. 

Watertown Hotel is also a top pick of U District hotels for all those Big Ten college football fans out there. Located within a four-minute walk from the U District Light Rail Station for a quick one-stop train ride, or a leisurely 20-minute stroll, Watertown Hotel provides easy access for catching every touchdown at University of Washington's Husky Stadium.

Local Eateries

Foodies will delight in the local cuisine found in the U District, with options ranging from cozy cafés to dining dives. Don’t forget to explore the University District Farmers Market, where you can find fresh produce, artisanal goods and local crafts every Saturday. The market is a quick 15-minute walk from Watertown Hotel, a favorite pick of University District hotels.

Even More To Explore

Want to explore more of what the Emerald City has to offer? Watertown Hotel, the leading option of hotels in the University District, is ideally situated from go-to attractions and events:

A short drive away from our hotel will get you to Seattle Center, making it the perfect base for exploring this vibrant cultural hub. Home to the iconic Space Needle, MoPOP, Chihuly Garden and Glass, and Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle Center offers a wealth of attractions for visitors of all ages.

Just a close drive away or Light Rail ride away, this bustling marketplace is a feast for the senses, featuring an array of fresh produce, artisanal goods and vibrant local crafts.

A quick 20-minute light rail ride from U District takes you to downtown Seattle, which comes alive in June with the excitement of Seattle Pride. The city hosts a variety of events leading up to the pride parade on June 29, a vibrant celebration of the LGBTQ+ community.
