Why choose an over-water room
The Edgewater Hotel is Seattle’s only over-water hotel on Pier 67, so an over-water room guarantees water-facing windows and a direct relationship to Elliott Bay. Several room types are specifically designated over the water.
If your priority is sightlines—harbor, Olympic Mountains, ferries and cruise activity—look for these over-water options when you book. Over-water rooms often include balconies or sliding doors that open to the bay.
- Room (Over Water) — available as 1 King Bed or 2 Double Beds
- Room, Balcony (Over Water) — 1 King Bed with a balcony
- Over Water Room / Over Water Junior Suite / Executive Over Water Suite — larger over-water options with sofa beds in some suites
| Room type | Sleeps / bed setup |
|---|---|
| Room (Over Water) | 1 King Bed or 2 Double Beds |
| Room, Balcony (Over Water) | 1 King Bed |
| Junior Suite (Over Water) / Executive Over Water Suite | 1 King Bed + 1 Double Sofa Bed |
Best rooms for water and harbor views
For uninterrupted bay views and private outdoor seating, choose Room, Balcony (Over Water), Junior Suite (Over Water) or Executive Over Water Suite. Suites add living space and often include a fireplace plus a sofa bed.
The Executive Over Water Suite offers more living area and dressings that make it the top pick when you want extra space with the same over-water sightlines.
- Executive Over Water Suite — larger footprint and seating area; includes 1 King Bed + 1 Double Sofa Bed
- Junior Suite (Over Water) — king bed plus sofa bed; good balance of space and cost
- Room, Balcony (Over Water) — best single-room option when a private balcony matters most
| Why choose | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Executive Over Water Suite | Largest over-water suite, extra living area, fireplace, balcony |
| Junior Suite (Over Water) | King bed plus sofa bed, separate seating, over-water windows |
| Room, Balcony (Over Water) | Compact room with private balcony facing Elliott Bay |
Best rooms for Space Needle and city views
If you prefer skyline, Space Needle or downtown views, pick Room, 1 King Bed, City View; City View Suite - Tub; or Room, 1 Queen Bed, City View for a smaller option. City-view rooms face inland rather than directly over the bay.
City-view suites give extra space for groups or a tub option when you want an in-room soaking experience—look for City View Suite - Tub when a tub matters.
- Room, 1 King Bed, City View — standard king with city sightlines (approx. 350 sq. ft.)
- City View Suite - Tub — larger suite (475 sq. ft.) with king bed and sofa bed plus bathtub
- Room, 1 Queen Bed, City View — smallest city-view option (225 sq. ft.)
| Room | Square feet / typical occupancy |
|---|---|
| Room, 1 King Bed, City View | 350 sq. ft. / 2 Guests |
| City View Suite - Tub | 475 sq. ft. / 4 Guests |
| Room, 1 Queen Bed, City View | 225 sq. ft. / 2 Guests |
Best family and group rooms
Families will find the most options among city-view suites and two-bed rooms. The hotel lists Room, 2 Double Beds, City View and Suite, City View as layouts that handle four or more guests comfortably.
