Hotel Overview

Tacoma rises along Puget Sound south of Seattle, a revived port city of glass art, waterfront parks, and the lively Dome District near the foot of Mount Rainier. The Best Western Plus Downtown Tacoma makes a comfortable base in Tacoma, Washington, close to the Tacoma Dome, the Museum of Glass, the waterfront, and an easy drive to Seattle and the mountain.

Walkable to the Dome District's venues and restaurants, the hotel keeps things comfortable, with rooms that each carry a flat-screen TV, microwave, and refrigerator. A free breakfast opens up the morning, free parking sits right outside, and the fitness room is there when you want it. The Museum of Glass, with its towering cone and the Chihuly Bridge of Glass, anchors Tacoma's waterfront. Point Defiance Park, with its zoo, gardens, and forest trails, sits on the waterfront north of downtown.

Glass museums, the waterfront, and the road to Rainier all sit close by. Settle in and let Tacoma show you around.
