BELLEVUE, Wash.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. announced an agreement with Kemper Development Company and Associates (KDC) to debut the iconic W brand in Bellevue, Wash.
W Bellevue is slated to open in spring 2017 with a contemporary design inspired by the hotel's setting near the shores of Lake Washington and Bellevue's history as a lakeside vacation spot. W Bellevue will join W Seattle as the W brand's second hotel in the Puget Sound area.
Located on Bellevue Way between NE 4th and NE 8th Streets, W Bellevue will be adjacent to The Westin Bellevue Hotel and connected via a sky bridge to the new expansion slated for Bellevue Square. In addition to W Bellevue, the 1.5 million square foot Lincoln Square Expansion will feature 710,000 square feet of premium office space, 180,000 square feet of retail, dining and entertainment space and 231 luxury high-rise, rental residences, all with sweeping views. The hotel is part of The Bellevue Collection, which includes Lincoln Square, Bellevue Square and Bellevue Place.
W Bellevue will offer 245 modern guestrooms, including 25 suites and an Extreme Wow Suite (the W brand's reinterpretation of the traditional Presidential Suite). Hotel spaces will include more than 11,400 square feet of modern meeting and event space, a FIT state-of-the-art workout facility, and three unique restaurants and bars, including an all-day dining restaurant and two destination bars on the ground and second floors.
W Bellevue will feature a variety of unique experiences, including the signature Bar, a library stocked with pulp fiction novels, an oversized fireplace reminiscent of traditional lodges (but with a twist) and an outdoor terrace featuring modern porch swings and a pool table.
