Marriott’s W Hotels brand has opened its first new US hotel in seven years.
The W Bellevue, across Lake Washington from Seattle, has 220 guest rooms and 25 suites built in a lakeside cabin style
"As a city known for its lake houses, W Bellevue embraces this tradition while reinterpreting the design in a fresh and innovative way," said Matt Van Der Peet, general manager of the hotel.
"From being welcomed by bold street art, surprised by a library of pulp fiction, and quenched by craft cocktails at the Living Room Bar, W Bellevue is sure to become a destination in its own right for both guests and locals alike."
A 2,300-sqaure-foot, two-bedroom Extreme WOW Suite is a ‘decked-out party palace’ with hanging porch swings which give guests the chance to feel as if they’re floating over Bellevue.
The hotel also has a Lakehouse restaurant run by James Beard Award-winning chef Jason Wilson and a speakeasy-style bar called Civility & Unrest.
Other US W hotels in the pipeline include downtown Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Aspen, Colorado.
Marriott took over the W brand when it acquired Starwood Hotels last year.
