Lotte Hotel Seattle
A striking downtown hotel that links a glass high-rise with a restored historic sanctuary, Lotte Hotel Seattle pairs Philippe Starck-designed rooms, sweeping views, destination dining and a polished spa.
Lotte Hotel Seattle stands on Fifth Avenue in the heart of downtown, combining a contemporary glass tower with the preserved Sanctuary, a Beaux-Arts landmark dating to the early 20th century. The contrast gives the property a visual identity unlike a conventional new-build hotel.
Guest rooms and suites in the tower were designed with Philippe Starck’s studio and use sculptural forms, warm metals and mid-century references. Floor-to-ceiling windows open the interiors to Elliott Bay, the skyline and surrounding hills.
The historic Sanctuary now functions as a dramatic event venue, preserving ornate architectural details while the newer tower handles most of the daily hotel experience. The connection between the two buildings gives weddings and special events an unusually memorable setting.
Charlotte Restaurant & Lounge sits high enough to make the city view part of the meal, while Le SPA de l’hôtel LOTTE provides treatment rooms and a quieter counterpoint to downtown. Fitness facilities and polished service round out the full-service offering.
Lotte Hotel Seattle works especially well for travelers who appreciate contemporary design but still want a sense of local architectural history. Its strongest combination is the Starck-designed tower, broad views and the beautifully repurposed Sanctuary.
