Whether planning a trip with friends or stepping out for a romantic getaway fit for two, the lights, sights and sounds of Washington’s Eastside city, Bellevue, create the perfect setting for an evening (or evenings) out. From five-star dining options and high-end shopping to dazzling entertainment and more, the city of Bellevue has everything you need for a weekend away or an impromptu “staycation.”
To get the most out of your stay, plant yourself in the heart of Bellevue at the luxe Hyatt Regency Bellevue in downtown. Part of the popular Bellevue Collection, Hyatt Regency Bellevue boasts a welcoming staff, luxurious accommodations, brilliant wood accents, natural decor and splendid works of art throughout, to make you feel relaxed and at home while visiting this sophisticated Bellevue hotel.
Although, if a full weekend of city slicking is more than you can handle, the Hyatt Regency Bellevue’s Experience Washington Wines offer provides guests the chance to escape from the hustle and bustle, whisking them away to Woodinville Wine Country where they can unwind while sipping from full-bodied reds and buttery whites during a tour of the popular Chateau Ste. Michelle.
The Experience Washington Wines package, which is available year-round, provides guests with two ways to experience the Eastside. And it all starts with a hearty breakfast at Hyatt Regency Bellevue’s renowned Eques restaurant. Included as part of your stay, start your morning with a breakfast buffet for two. Awaiting your appetite is an assortment of comfort breakfast favorites made from fresh, local and seasonal ingredients, all of which echo the flavors of the Northwest. Load up your plate with sausage, bacon, made to-order-omelets, croissants and more, or opt for one of Eques’ signature dishes, like their eggs benedict, tiramisu pancakes or whatever is fresh and in season.
After a hearty breakfast, head to Woodinville to experience a self-guided tour of the area’s more than 90 wineries. While you’re there, you’ll want to make sure you stop by Chateau Ste. Michelle where you’ll have the chance to redeem a premium wine tasting for two.
Whether you purchase a bottle (or case) of wine in Woodinville or not, there will be more wine waiting for you in your room when you return, as the Experience Washington Wine offer also includes a complimentary bottle of a local wine. Enjoy a glass while soaking in the tub or relaxing on the couch either before or after you venture out into the city for dinner and more fun.
When your stomach starts to rumble, nearby restaurants like Daniel’s Broiler, which offers premium steaks and other gourmet fare, are perfect for a date night. Or, keep it casual at Tavern Hall, located just a short walk away from the hotel, for flatbread pizzas and Moscow mules. Once you’ve been fed, head out for more fun at Parlor Billiards & Ultralounge, catch a flick at Lincoln Square Cinemas, or hang out for last call at Joey Bellevue.
After a good night’s rest, round out your stay by going shopping at the Bravern, where you’ll find shops like Neiman Marcus, Jimmy Choo, Tory Burch, and all your favorite designer name brands, or detox the night before away at one of the many area spas. If you’re still feeling fuzzy (or just thirsty) on your way out of town, grab a fresh pressed juice from Bellevue-local juice bar, Jujubeet.
