Crowne Plaza Hotel Opens at Seattle Airport

The 260-room Crowne Plaza Seattle Airport hotel has opened following a significant renovation funded by the owner, Seatac Airport Hospitality, LLC.

Located just one block from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, guests at the Seattle-Airport hotel will be among the first to experience new Crowne Plaza features that are gradually being rolled out to all Crowne Plaza hotels in the Americas.

New technology offers single internet sign-on, free and reliable Wi-Fi, one-click secure wireless printing and easy access to power outlets and charging cords.

“We know our guests need to be productive when they’re on the road for work," said Gina LaBarre, vice president, Americas Brand Management, Crowne Plaza, IHG. "Particularly at an airport hotel, where guests often feel rushed and hurried, it’s important that we provide an environment that enables them to focus on getting their work done.”

The Crowne Plaza Seattle Airport hotel provides easy access for guests needing to catch a flight, whether via the walkable sky bridge or the hotel’s complimentary airport shuttle, which runs every 20 minutes. Guests with meetings in Seattle or those who simply need a break from work can easily access the light rail station, located on the same block as the hotel, making travel into downtown a breeze.

The $9 million in renovations include complete guestroom, guest bath and guest corridor renovations, as well as a completely new public space layout and interior design package.

The hotel’s restaurant serves Pacific Northwest cuisine with signature menu items including Draper Valley Chicken Piccata, Northwest Blackened Salmon and certified Angus Beef.

The hotel features the Crowne Plaza Sleep Advantage program, which encompasses the entire sleep experience, from training staff on how to create and maintain a restful environment to providing innovative products and services such as signature bedding, designated quiet zones on two floors and aromatherapy.

The hotel also offers 12,000 square feet of flexible meeting space.

“We are very pleased to join the Crowne Plaza brand, which we feel is a strong fit for a growing international airport hub,” said Ken Stockdale, the hotel’s general manager. “The Crowne Plaza services and amenities we now provide will position us well to serve our share of the nearly 35 million passengers that pass through the Seattle airport each year.”
