The Westin Seattle

The Westin Seattle stands as a commanding presence in the city’s skyline, renowned for its iconic twin towers and its significant capacity for major events and group travel. As the 3rd largest hotel in Seattle, this property leverages its impressive scale, comprehensive amenities, and strategic downtown location to deliver a premier experience for conference planners, business travelers, and large groups. With 891 guest rooms and suites, the hotel is exceptionally well equipped to manage substantial room blocks, providing both volume and variety.

At the core of its group-focused offerings is an expansive and versatile meetings and events infrastructure. The hotel boasts over 69,000 square feet of flexible function space, thoughtfully designed to accommodate everything from a high level executive board meeting to a large scale national convention. This vast area is divided into 41 distinct event rooms, offering planners a wealth of options for general sessions, breakout discussions, and catered functions.

The crown jewel of the event space is the magnificent 18,031 square foot Grand Ballroom. This is one of the largest and most capable ballrooms in the city, providing a grand, unobstructed setting for major productions. It can host a reception or theater style presentation for up to 2,000 attendees, seat 1,200 in a classroom configuration, or serve a formal banquet for 1,580 guests. This immense capacity is complemented by two other significant ballrooms. The Cascade Ballroom offers 5,200 square feet of sophisticated space, ideal for mid sized conferences or receptions of up to 550 people. The 3,445 square foot Fifth Avenue Room provides another elegant option for banquets of 300 or theater style meetings for 380. This hierarchy of spaces allows for complex, multi track events to run concurrently and seamlessly under one roof.

The hotel’s location is a paramount asset for both business and group logistics. It is located just a few blocks from the Seattle Convention Center, allowing attendees to walk to their main sessions with ease. Its central downtown address also places guests within easy reach of Pike Place Market, the Seattle Center, the Space Needle, and the city’s primary retail and financial districts. This walkability is a major benefit for event attendees, who can easily explore the city’s top attractions during their downtime without the need for transportation.

The 891 guest rooms are designed as restful and productive retreats from the bustling city. Each room features the brand’s signature Westin Heavenly Bed and a spa like Heavenly Bath, ensuring a restorative experience. For the business traveler, every room is equipped with a functional work desk, high speed internet access, and a 55 inch flat panel television, creating an efficient remote office. The hotel offers a range of room types, from traditional guest rooms to spacious Executive and Luxury Suites, providing upgraded options for VIPs or extended stays. The building’s unique circular design means many rooms offer breathtaking, floor to ceiling views of the city, Puget Sound, and the surrounding mountains.

Beyond the guest rooms, the hotel provides a complete ecosystem of amenities tailored to the needs of professional travelers. The 24 hour WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio is state of the art, and an indoor swimming pool offers a rare chance for relaxation and exercise in the downtown core. A full service business center is available to handle any last minute printing or shipping needs. Dining options are both convenient and appealing. Relish Burger Bistro provides a modern, casual setting for meals, while the 1900 FIFTH Bar + Lounge is perfect for post meeting networking or a craft cocktail. A 24 hour room service menu ensures that productivity is never interrupted by a restrictive dining schedule.
