September 16, 2015
Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced that a Hyatt affiliate entered into a management agreement with SECO Development for a Hyatt Regency hotel in Renton, Washington. Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport is currently under construction and is expected to open in 2017.
The 12-story, 347-room Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport is situated on a 5.5-acre lakefront site on Lake Washington. Capturing the beauty of the Puget Sound region, the hotel’s design will offer panoramic views of Downtown Seattle, the Olympic Mountains, Mt. Rainier, and Lake Washington. Another design feature that is part of the destination’s story is the hotel’s 12-floor design, in honor of the Seattle Seahawk’s 12th Man, the 12s, which is the given name for the team’s loyal fans.
The planned terrace gardens, glass art wall structures, and prominent local art will enhance the guests’ connection with the surrounding Pacific Northwest region. Hotel guests also will have direct access to Lake Washington and the adjacent 57-acre Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, which features nature trails and numerous other recreational activities.
Dining options will include a waterfront restaurant and bar with an outdoor dining terrace as well as private dining rooms. The hotel’s gourmet grab-and-go Market, located off the lobby, will provide convenient access to locally inspired meals, specialty coffee drinks, and snacks. In addition, a VIP lounge area known as the Regency Club, a full-service spa, fitness center, and an indoor pool will be options for guests.
The Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport will offer approximately 43,000 sf of meeting and prefunction space, featuring a 15,000-sf Grand Ballroom, a junior ballroom and eight additional breakout rooms. A residentially inspired display kitchen will be integrated directly within the guest event area. For events al fresco, planners and guests can take their meetings outside to the hotel’s expansive outdoor, Northwest garden-landscaped event terraces of up to 12,000 sf that overlook Lake Washington. Event facilities also include private salons and lounges.
Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport is envisioned to be the premier hotel on Lake Washington, part of a mixed use Southport development, which also will include luxury apartments, three office towers and retail space. Keeping guests conveniently connected to the places important to them, the hotel will be located nine miles northeast of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, 11 miles south of downtown Seattle, and seven miles south of Bellevue. The city of Renton boasts numerous attractions and business destinations such as the Seattle Seahawks’ headquarters and practice facility and Boeing’s final assembly plant for 737 commercial aircraft.
