Lotte Hotel Seattle

Fun fact: The city limits of Seattle, Washington, are home to more dogs than children, meaning furry friends are more than welcome to join in city exploration. Dogs staying with their families at Lotte Hotel Seattle will enjoy a complimentary dog robe, a dog bed, dog food, water bowls, waste disposal bags and a map pinpointing all the local dog parks. The hotel is in a perfect location to explore all the city’s parks, hiking trails and outdoor restaurants where pets are welcome.
