AS the fifth largest city in Washington with a diverse population of more than 126,000, Bellevue represents the sophisticated retail center of Seattle’s Eastside.
A highlight in this exciting city is The Bellevue Collection, a cluster of three shopping complexes, all of which are connected to each other via sky bridges.
The complex is a popular option for tourists as an all-encompassing entertainment precinct comprising of more than 250 restaurants and luxury stores where you could tuck into a fine meal, pick up a designer bag, catch a flick, or bowl a few pins.

Inside the hotel, things are just as cozy. We speak of the rooms – that’s 732 of them – all modern and complemented with Asian accents. And you can be assured that Hyatt Regency’s signature beds adorn each room.
The Studio Suite is our favorite of the lot; it boasts a spacious living area with a queen-sized sleeper sofa, a large work desk, a 37-inch flat-screen TV, iHome stereo fittings, a coffee maker, and a luxurious granite bathroom countertop.
The Cascade Suite is just as special, offering guests stunning views of Mount Rainier and Lake Washington from private balconies.

The Bellevue skyline is a sight for tired eyes
