1 Hotels will open its first Pacific Northwest location in Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood this April, with reservations now open for booking. The 153-room 1 Hotel Seattle includes 45 suites and sits near Downtown Seattle, the Climate Pledge Arena and Amazon's headquarters.
The hotel's design incorporates natural elements throughout, featuring a living wall of greenery in the lobby, reclaimed wood finishes and stone-clad millwork. Guestrooms include large windows, moss-inspired art installations and furniture created by local artisans.
"Seattle has always been a city that values sustainability, innovation and connection to nature," said Barry Sternlicht, founder of 1 Hotels and chairman of SH Hotels & Resorts (soon to be Starwood Hotels). "With 1 Hotel Seattle, we've created a property that not only reflects the city's natural surroundings, but also champions our mission to redefine what luxury hospitality can be through sustainable practices."
The property includes several dining and event spaces, including La Loba, the signature restaurant led by chef Oscar Amador Edo, which combines culinary influences from Barcelona, the Mediterranean and Japan. The Rainier Ballroom provides event space with views of the Space Needle.
"Opening reservations for 1 Hotel Seattle marks an exciting step forward as we introduce the 1 Hotels brand to the Pacific Northwest," said Raul Leal, CEO of SH Hotels & Resorts. "We've designed this property to be a sanctuary for travelers and locals alike — combining thoughtful luxury, biophilic desig, and experiences that celebrate Seattle's innovative spirit."
The hotel's sustainability initiatives include energy-efficient smart thermostats, low-VOC materials and advanced air-quality-management systems. Through a partnership with Foodprint Group, the property aims to divert over 90% of waste from landfills. The hotel also provides electric Audi Q8 e-tron house cars for guest transportation to nearby attractions.
