Get a fresh and local taste of the Northwest in this day organised around Seattle cuisine.

Morning

• Start your day at neighbouring Pike Place Market, the country’s oldest continuously running public farmers’ market. Pike Place opened its doors in 1907.
• In the market, head to the first Starbucks location, complete with its original logo. The first store in the franchise moved in here in 1977.
• Grab your latte to go, or maybe a hot cup of Pike Place roast. To find your breakfast, simply tour this premier farmers’ market that has been called the “Soul of Seattle.”
• Having put the market through your own taste test, stop outside to listen to some of the street performers.
• Don’t forget to place a coin in the market’s unofficial mascot, Rachel the 550-pound (250-kilogram) cast-bronze piggy bank.

Afternoon

• Return to the Hotel in the afternoon to relax on our outdoor terrace around the infinity-edge pool.
• Depending on the season, enjoy a cool beverage by the pool or hot chocolate around the open fireplace.
• Panoramic views of Elliott Bay, Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountain peaks await you.

Evening

• Sample local and domestic cheeses at ART Lounge’s famous all-you-can-eat Cheese & Antipasto Counter while sipping on an innovative cocktail utilizing market-fresh ingredients.
• Then sit down for a leisurely dinner in ART Restaurant, where Executive Chef Kerry Sear and Restaurant Chef Jelle Vandenbroucke present the best of the Northwest in a Market-to-Table inspired dinner menu.
  

Find your inspiration. Four Seasons Hotel Seattle and the Seattle Art Museum have come together to provide an intriguing introduction to the city’s vibrant creative community.

Morning

• Have a relaxing morning with a romantic breakfast in bed ordered through In-Room Dining. Then, head just across the street to take in some culture.
• Prepare to be wowed. The Hammering Man sculpture outside gives a good indication of the impressive scale of the true art on display at the Seattle Art Museum.
• Be sure to view the museum’s permanent collection, but don’t miss the changing special exhibitions. Ask the Concierge for further details on what’s on display.
