When is the best time to go to Matthews Beach?

The best time to go to Matthews Beach is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its finest. During June, July, and August, you can expect warm, sunny days with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 26°C. This period is great for enjoying the outdoor activities Matthews Beach is known for, such as swimming in Lake Washington, picnicking at Matthews Beach Park, or cycling along the Burke-Gilman Trail. The long daylight hours also allow for extended enjoyment of the natural surroundings. For those who prefer a slightly quieter experience with pleasant weather, late spring (May) and early autumn (September) are also good options. While temperatures might be a little cooler, averaging around 15°C to 20°C, the crowds are smaller, and you can still comfortably enjoy the park and lakeside activities.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Matthews Beach hotel for you.

Top Matthews Beach Hotel Reviews

The Paramount Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional area and had multiple options for restaurants within walking distance."

Populus Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"Had a brief but wonderful stay at Populus. Steps (or a 15min walk) away from all the great Seattle spots. The property is gorgeous and Zen-like with plants everywhere (watch out for the mosquitoes) and a beautiful library, music room, restaurant, cafe, rooftop—the whole property is impressive. Gorgeous detail in buildout, artwork, and furnishings, modern and clean but not cold at all. Outdoor elements meet a plush hug. Loved our suite with large bathroom (mild-pressured shower and no hook in the water closet for my robe were the only dings), high ceilings, wood beams and decor, and super comfortable bed, along with a clever nook near the window, all surrounded by trees. The little porcelain dish and intimate touches here and there felt personal and boutique. Lovely. Even appreciated the inlaid carpeting in the halls. Noise control and comfort! Brunch was delicious at Salt Harvest, rooftop at Firn was very busy (perhaps a glitch here in service as a result) but lively with great drinks. Don’t expect a bellman as you’re coming in, though seems like that’d be standard for the level of detail everywhere else. But we bussed our bags with a trolley and it wasn’t a deal breaker. Wish we had more time in this beautiful escape. Staff was very friendly, texted recommendations à la butler concierge service which was cool. Overall, an amazing and memorable stay, will definitely return to this relaxing retreat!!"

Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA

8/10 Good

"When we walked in the front door, there was nothing there. An old empty desk but that’s it. We walked over to the elevator and were a bit confused and then another guest standing there said we had to go to the 7 (?) floor to lobby. It would have been nice if there was big sign telling customers where the lobby was instead of standing there looking around stupidly. "
