Global hotel innovator citizenM has opened a new hotel in Seattle’s South Lake Neighbourhood.
The award-winning Dutch hotel and lifestyle company has opened the doors to its newest hotel and it is notable for many reasons: it’s the 20th citizen hotel overall; the first opening of 2020 and the first on the West Coast.
citizenM Seattle South Lake Union is a 264-key, seven-storey hotel at 201 Westlake Avenue between North and John Streets – ideally located for business and leisure. Amazon and Microsoft headquarters, the Space Needle, the Washington State Convention Center and Pike Place Market are all neighbours.
The hotel facade is wrapped by an extra-large innovation-themed art piece by Jesse LeDoux – a formerly Seattle-based art director of Sub Pop Records. Inside on the ground floor, the Native American artist Jeffrey Veregge – also a Seattle resident – has contributed a large-scale tech-themed mural in his unmistakable comic-book inspired style.
citizenM isn’t ‘just another hotel in town’. citizenM’s guiding philosophy is ‘affordable luxury for the people’ – where the ‘people’ are modern travellers who want a stylish, convenient, tech-rich experience in a central location, but not at an exorbitant price. citizenM Seattle South Lake Union hotel packs all the signature brand features: just one type of bedroom, 24/7 food and drinks, free movies, superfast free Wi-Fi, high-quality design and world-class art. The tech-rich experience is now enhanced by the world’s first contactless capabilities via citizenM’s new app.
