Hyatt Regency Seattle

Hyatt Regency Seattle is the largest hotel in Seattle. It’s built for scale, making it a strong base for large programs that need hundreds of keys and a compact, easy-to-navigate meeting footprint. The lobby layout simplifies arrivals and meetups, elevators move quickly between guest floors and event levels, and signage keeps traffic flowing during peak session changes. For planners, the overall design supports high attendee density without losing clarity.

Guest rooms emphasize comfort and utility for multi-night stays. Expect supportive beds, blackout window treatments, fast Wi-Fi, and ample outlets at the desk and bedside. Many categories add mini-fridges and expanded work surfaces that help crews and speakers reset between blocks. Noise control and efficient HVAC keep rooms comfortable when the property is near capacity.

Events are the core strength here. Stacked meeting floors allow fast transitions from general session to breakouts. Large ballrooms handle plenary sessions and banquets, while a network of mid-size and smaller rooms converts quickly for workshops, speaker ready spaces, sponsor lounges, and production offices. Pre-function corridors accommodate registration and coffee service without clogging entrances, and in-house audiovisual support manages show calls, rigging, and rentals with a single point of contact.

On-site dining keeps agendas on time. A signature restaurant covers breakfast through dinner, a lobby bar works for informal networking, and a café or marketplace handles early call times and breaks. The banquet kitchen scales from plated service to buffets and receptions, with dietary labeling and clear communication for attendee needs.

Wellness stays accessible during busy programs. A spacious fitness center runs around the clock with cardio and free weights. When schedules allow, guests can make use of nearby parks, waterfront paths, and arts venues for quick off-agenda resets. Business services and package handling are available on property to support exhibitor shipments and last-minute print needs.
