Westin Seattle, twin-tower highrise hotel in Seattle, Washington
The Westin Seattle is a twin-tower hotel in downtown Seattle, Washington, with close to 900 rooms that face either the water or the city skyline. The property also has large event spaces, indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness studio, and several restaurants and bars.
The first tower opened in 1969 as a 40-story building in the heart of downtown Seattle. A second, taller tower with close to 50 floors was added in the early 1980s, making the complex the tallest hotel building in the city at the time.
The property takes its name from a wellness concept that has become central to modern hospitality. Its downtown position places guests directly within Seattle's commercial and retail heart, where the rhythm of urban life unfolds around them.
The hotel is a short walk from Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, and the main shopping streets of downtown. Public transportation stops nearby, making it easy to reach other parts of the city without a car.
The indie band Modest Mouse used the two towers on an album cover in the 1990s, connecting the building to Seattle's music scene in an unexpected way. Fans of the band sometimes visit simply to see the towers that appeared on that cover.
