Top 5 Favorite Places for a Girls Getaway

Four Seasons Staycation

Centrally located in Downtown Seattle, Four Seasons Hotel is a great place for a girls getaway in the city. Featuring luxury rooms that showcase sweeping views of the Puget Sound, the hotel has a beautiful outdoor infinity pool, an amazing full-service spa, and is an easy walk to the Seattle Art Museum and Pike Place Market.

Edgewater Hotel

Iconic in every way, but especially in a city that loves music, the rock 'n' roll-themed Edgewater Hotel located on Pier 67 is a great place to getaway with girlfriends. As the city’s only over-water hotel, The Edgewater is a special place to grab drinks and watch the sun set behind the Olympic Mountains. Don’t miss the Lobster Mac and Cheese at Six Seven.

Woodmark Hotel

For a girls getaway that is adjacent to the city but not quite downtown, The Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland is a great pick. With relaxing services at Still Spa, great food across the plaza at Le Grande Bistro, and fire pits overlooking Lake Washington, the Woodmark is a great place to recharge and reconnect with friends.

Yuan Spa

When a full getaway isn’t in the cards, a day trip to Yuan Spa, with locations in Bellevue and Kirkland, will feel like the ultimate indulgence. For those with busy schedules, a 60-minute hydrotherapy session complete with hot and cool soaking pools, a steam room, and heated sauna will help to quickly rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit.

Suncadia

For the ultimate Pacific Northwest girls getaway, a weekend trip to Suncadia, located just 90-minutes East of the city, is a beautiful escape any time of year. Whether you’re staying at the Lodge or renting a house on property to share with friends, Suncadia provides the perfect backdrop for quality time around the camp fire as you relax and soak in the scenery. Don’t miss the CBD massage at Glade Spring Spa.

Capitol Hill Fashion Field Trip

For girlies who can’t get away, but want to spend quality time with friends, a fashion field trip in Seattle’s iconic Capitol Hill neighborhood will feel like the ultimate urban adventure you didn’t know you needed. Start at Oddfellow’s Cafe for breakfast, stop by Glossier for make-up, then head to Chophouse Row to visit slow fashion retailer Celine Waldmann to see what’s new.
