USA | 1 Hotels has announced the opening of its latest property in Seattle, combining luxury and local culture with the region's landscape.
1 Hotels, the mission-driven luxury lifestyle brand founded by hospitality visionary Barry Sternlicht, has announced the opening of 1 Hotel Seattle, a new sanctuary of sustainability and sophisticated design in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Set in the South Lake Union neighbourhood, home to some of Seattle's most innovative tech companies, this nature-inspired retreat combines sustainable luxury, hyper-local culinary experiences, and the rugged elegance of the region's landscapes.
"Seattle is a city where nature and innovation coexist beautifully, and that's exactly what we aimed to capture with this property," said Barry Sternlicht, Founder of 1 Hotels and Chairman of Starwood Hotels.
"This city has long been a pioneer in sustainability, environmental stewardship, and progressive thinking. With 1 Hotel Seattle, we wanted to create a haven that not only pays homage to its forests, waters, and creative spirit, but also reflects the city's deep-rooted commitment to living in harmony with the planet. It's a place where conscious design meets the soul of the Pacific Northwest."
"We're proud to open our doors in one of the country's most forward-thinking cities," said Raul Leal, CEO of Starwood Hotels.
"From the locally crafted furnishings to the reclaimed materials and moss art installations, every detail is designed to inspire both comfort and consciousness."
Located at 2125 Terry Avenue, 1 Hotel Seattle is set at the crossroads of nature, culture, and innovation. It's just minutes from Seattle's iconic waterfront, the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, the Climate Pledge Arena, and Amazon's headquarters.
Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by a monumental driftwood sculpture by local artist Alison Stigora, a bespoke piece that sets the tone for what lies within. The lobby is anchored by a lush living wall and a sculptural winding staircase fashioned from reclaimed timber and stacked stone featuring a railing hand-stitched with domestic leather. Overhead are massive Douglas fir beams, a nod to Seattle's maritime and industrial past.
Throughout the space, details celebrate Pacific Northwest voices and materials and reinforce a deep connection to the land and its history. There are textiles that pay tribute to the Coast Salish Tribes, handmade tiles from a Pacific Northwest ceramics studio surrounding a fireplace, and an art collection curated in collaboration with local galleries. Guests can also unwind year-round on the outdoor terrace, a fire-lit, plant-filled patio framed by a wooden trellis and Northwest greenery.
