THE EDGEWATER HOTEL OVERVIEW Resting atop Pier 67 on Seattle s sparking Elliott Bay, the four story 223-room Edgewater is Seattle s original waterfront hotel. Originally built for the 1962 World s Fair, The Edgewater Hotel remains as Seattle s only waterfront hotel and has become a beloved local landmark. The Edgewater s place in history was sealed on August 21, 1964 when The Beatles arrived in Seattle for their first world tour and checked into The Edgewater Hotel. During their stay, the Fab Four fished from the window of their suite, the photo of which has become famous.

In January 1988, Noble House Hotels & Resorts purchased the hotel and began a complete transformation of the property into a modern urban lodge with Northwest flair. The Edgewater s new design combined sleek, chic modernism with the style of a Northwest-inspired urban lodge. Its use of the earth s elements, including fire, water, timber, stone, and steel offered guests a look into the heritage of the region. Interior additions included bark wall coverings; delicate light fixtures made of stainless steel ball chain clusters, and sculpture-trees, pillars made of rustic timber held together by steel hinges that created an enchanted forest vibe. In 2001 and 2002, The Edgewater went under more than $7.5 million in renovations, including the addition of gas fireplaces in each of the property s 223 guestrooms, structural and cosmetic improvements to both the hotel s interior and exterior, complete renovation of the hotel s restaurant, as well as renovation of the main lobby.
