August 13, 2007 at 2:14 PM | by | Comments (0)

Summer is here, which means baseball-obsessed people all over the U.S. are hopping in planes, trains, and automobiles to visit MLB fields around the country. To help these fanatic fans/hotel guests, we will be looking at ballparks around the country and give you a quick rundown of your closest, safest, and best hotel options. "America's Favorite Pastime" with some of America's finest second cities--what is not to love? If you got any hotel questions or suggestions or even better, firsthand baseball park hotel reviews, send them here and share them with other MLB fans--even if they are Yankee fans.

Today we're heading to Seattle, home of the Mariners and Safeco Field...also, former home of our favorite stray infielder, Alex Rodriguez. Stray Rod heads back to Seattle to play his old Mariners in September, and we're betting that he and the blonde will check into The Fairmont Olympic Hotel.

MORE

Located about a mile from Safeco Field, the Fairmont Olympic is an upscale property with 450 rooms. More exciting for A-Rod fans is the in-house oyster bar where he'll probably take the blonde (oysters are an aphrodesiac, hello!) called Shuckers...and we'll try not to make any rhyming jokes here.

If super historic is your thing, check out the Sorrento Hotel downtown. The front desk told us that Safeco is only a 15-minute walk from the front door, and there are good options for those non-baseball fans who just happen to be traveling with a baseball fan....like shopping. The Sorrento offers a package including a $100 gift certificate to Nordstrom, a $120 gift certificate to Nordstrom Spa, dinner for two in the Hunt Club restaurant, and full breakfast either in your room or in the Hunt Club, plus complimentary town car services.

If you anticipate getting sick of stadium beer and hot dogs, check out the Panama Hotel (which is technically the closest to the stadium). There's a tea house there (cute!) and the only remaining Japanese bathhouse in the US is located here too--so you can wash off all the cooties.
