KSEA/SEA - Seattle Seatac - Four Points by Sheraton Seattle Airport South - March 2026

We stayed overnight at this hotel located approximately 3.5 miles due south of Seattle IAP. Whilst the hotel is a little way away from the airport itself, there are certain rooms that offer or should offer excellent views in part at least. We requested a westerly facing room (more on this below). On the night I stayed, traffic was using the southerly runway 16s, departing towards the hotel. Despite typical Seattle weather for the time of year, departures were easily visible until they entered clouds as they passed over the hotel.

The room allocated was room 733, actually a north facing twin room.. This is on the top floor and is one of two rooms (the other being 731) which are out of sequence with other rooms on the floor. The hotel clearly knew what we wanted, as these north facing rooms would be the only ones that would give you the ability to view traffic from the room itself.  After dark departures only could be seen. During daylight hours landing traffic is visible on short finals although you have to be quick due to trees blocking part of the view. If using the 34 runways, landing traffic would pass close by the hotel. In this instance, any of the many west facing rooms would afford good views with potential for photography also.

the hotel has an on site Indian restaurant that I can thoroughly recommend. However beware, meal sizes are US rather than UK or European!
