Skybridge Seattle Airport Hotel

Skybridge Seattle Airport Hotel Overview

First Impressions

The Skybridge Seattle Airport Hotel caught me off guard in the best way possible. I mean, when you think “airport hotel,” you’re probably not expecting much beyond basic functionality — but this four-star property actually delivers something special. Located right on International Boulevard in Seattle, it’s one of those places where the name tells you exactly what you’re getting: there’s literally a skybridge connecting you to the airport terminals. No shuttles, no waiting around with your luggage in the rain (and trust me, it rains here).

Location That Actually Works

Here’s what I love about this spot — couples are giving the location a 9.2 rating, and honestly, I get it. You’re close enough to Sea-Tac that you can hear the planes, but it doesn’t feel like you’re camping out in a terminal. The International Boulevard area has grown on me over the years; there are decent food options within walking distance, and you’re actually well-positioned for exploring south Seattle if you’ve got time to kill. Recent guests rated the location 9.1, which makes sense when you realize how much stress this eliminates from travel days.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was surprisingly quiet given how close we are to the runway. They’ve clearly invested in good soundproofing, because I slept better here than at some downtown hotels. The space feels modern without being sterile — you know what I mean? There’s enough parking that you don’t have to circle around looking for a spot, which is honestly half the battle at airport properties. The beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are well-designed with decent water pressure (small things that matter when you’re tired from traveling).

Breakfast Worth Waking Up For

I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from the breakfast, but the American buffet setup actually impressed me. It’s not just continental pastries and sad coffee; they’ve got hot options that’ll fuel you for a long travel day or sightseeing around Seattle. The timing works well too, since you can grab a proper meal before an early flight without scrambling to find something open at 5 AM. The restaurant area gets busy during peak travel times, but the staff keeps things moving smoothly.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t a destination hotel where you’ll spend your whole vacation, but it absolutely nails what it’s supposed to do. The skybridge connection means you’re never more than a few minutes from your gate, which takes so much anxiety out of early morning departures. That 8.3 rating reflects what I experienced — solid execution on all the basics, plus some thoughtful touches that show they understand what travelers actually need. Whether you’re catching a red-eye or need a place to crash between connections, this place just works without any drama or surprises.

Best hotels in Seattle blend rooftop fire pits, craft beer tastings, and chef-led shellfish boils.

  It’s a nice, clean, comfortable hotel. Pleasant staff. We ate breakfast there, it was good. Free shuttle to airport.
  
  What could be improved: The price for the room was high, as well as for breakfast. The only breakfast option is a $19 buffet.

  airport, room, breakfast, staff assistance

• Twoodz from United States – 8 April 2025 (9/10)

  The room was a decent size and the bed was comfy. Light was decent and was grateful to have a usable fridge.
  
  What could be improved: Desk was too small to work at because it had the coffee maker on it. I would have preferred if they just put the coffee maker in the bathroom so I could use the desk.

• Ewen from United States – 6 April 2025 (8/10)

  Food at the bar was excellent and staff very helpful.

  Location great. Bar and Restaurant excellent. Room was your average American box but it was well equipped with new fixings

• Erin from United States – 13 February 2025 (9/10)

  I’ve stayed multiple times at this property, and will do so again. The hotel is nothing amazing….but it’s very clean, in a great location, relatively good price and I earn Marriott points.
