Smart, Stylish Comfort in the Heart of South Lake Union

Modern, tech-forward, and effortlessly cool, citizenM Seattle South Lake Union puts you just steps from Seattle’s buzzing music and culture scene. Located less than a mile from the Space Needle, Seattle Center, and Pike Place Market, this hotel is designed for travelers who value convenience, comfort, and a touch of playful design. Rooms are compact but cleverly equipped with smart tech—think iPad-controlled lighting and blackout blinds—and every stay comes with lightning-fast WiFi and streaming capabilities at no extra cost.

Whether you're catching a show at a nearby venue or exploring downtown Seattle, citizenM is your cozy, connected home base.

Why Concert-goers love it

With music venues like the Museum of Pop Culture and KeyArena just a short walk away, this hotel is a dream for fans wanting to skip the rideshare line. The 24-hour front desk and easy self check-in make late-night arrivals stress-free, while the soundproofed rooms offer a quiet escape after the encore. Public transit and rideshare options are plentiful in the area, and the hotel’s central location makes it easy to rally with friends before or after the show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, social base near the action
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list act
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend
  • Fans who want to recharge in peace after the concert buzz
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want design and quality

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a tasty buffet and vegetarian breakfast—perfect after a late night out. While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, the property does have a casual canteen-style dining area with snacks and drinks available around the clock. The South Lake Union neighborhood is packed with walkable eateries and late-night bites, so you’ll never go hungry, even after midnight.

Nightlife Options

While citizenM doesn’t host live music itself, its proximity to Seattle’s nightlife makes it a top choice. You're within walking distance of bars, lounges, and clubs, and the hotel’s own chill communal spaces with craft beer and cocktails offer a relaxed place to start or end your night.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s clean, stylish rooms, super-friendly staff, and the ultra-convenient location. The smart room tech and high-speed WiFi also get high marks, especially from travelers who love to stream or work on the go. Reviewers frequently mention how quiet the rooms are—even in the middle of the city.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the smaller side, which might be a surprise if you're used to sprawling hotel spaces—but most guests say the layout makes smart use of space. There's no traditional room service or full restaurant, but with so many options nearby, it's rarely a dealbreaker.

The Bottom Line

A modern, music-lover's haven in the heart of Seattle—perfect for concert-goers who value style, location, and smart comfort.

Modern, good use of small...

Liked: Friendly concierge and bar staff. Good bar snacks food and very good drinks. It was quiet and relaxing and the customizable lighting is also very nice. Great shower too.
Disliked: They were running a test and replacement of the smoke detectors in the rooms and my girlfriend was trying to shower at that time so I asked them to come back later. They came back in about 10 minutes while she was in the shower. I drew the curtain but I didn't feel comfortable with 2 strange men being there while she showered. She was also uncomfortable with that. They couldn't see anything and they were quick but it wasn't ideal. All that being said it was a generally excellent experience. We would absolutely come back.

I would not stay here...

Liked: Location is good though in downtown next to Wholefoods so you can buy your food and snacks. Breakfast is good and worth the $20 they charge.
Disliked: Rooms are really tiny. More like japanese cubicle hotel. Also UX design is so strange prioritizing form over function. Like signs and equipment are not kept a eye level perhaps to utilize vertical space. The hotel according to me makes a desperate attempt to look cool to perhaps compensate for tiny rooms and give a perception of being a concept hotel when all it really is hotel with tiny over priced rooms.

An influencer's dream, my fiancé...

Liked: The location was AMAZING. 10-minute lime scooter ride from the aquarium as well as the Space Needle! Gorgeous interior with so much creativity being shown throughout. The rooms are the perfect size for two! Incredibly comfy bed, and the window is an Instagram influencer's dream! The room does get stuffy, but the staff quickly brought us a fan and that solved the issue instantly! It was so fun and special to be able to customize the lighting and vibes of the hotel room, it made our 8-year anniversary even better and so relaxing. Breakfast in the morning was SO good and VERY worth the price! I've stayed at dozens of hotels over the years, and breakfast is always a big worry, but when we saw the awesome assortment of pastries, bagels, teas, juices, AND hot options, we knew it was worth it. Our only complaint is that the smoked salmon at breakfast definitely did not look smoked enough and seemed to be sitting out for a while, so we decided to stay away from that area of breakfast.
