Staying at the urban-chic, tech forward, yet accessible Citizen M Pioneer Square is a great choice when visiting Seattle in the winter time. The concierge staff is friendly, attentive and happy to provide insider information on places to eat, shop and visit that only locals could know. The room interiors are ultra-cozy, with customizable LED mood lighting, XL beds with marshmallow fluff-like pillows and blankets as well as available suites with stunning harbor views. The 24/7 cafe holds its own in a city full of incredible dining options. The property offers coffee perks and free cocktails, and an optional, fresh and healthy breakfast buffet that visitors should absolutely add to their reservation.
Centrally located near the famous Seattle Waterfront, Citizen M Pioneer Square is directly across the street from the ferry terminal, making day trips to Bainbridge Island, Friday Harbor and Bremerton a breeze. You may also see sea lions, otters, porpoises or an elusive orca nearby.
The property's stellar location also makes walking to local hot spots and tourist attractions convenient and easy. 10 minutes to the Seattle Great Wheel, Seattle Aquarium and Miner's Landing Entertainment Complex, and 14 minutes to Pike Place Market. It is also just a short walk from the rapid rail station directly connecting to and from Sea-Tac airport.
We highly recommend visiting this unique hotel during your next visit!
