The Beatles fished from their window in 1964. The only hotel built over the water in Seattle — the Puget Sound is literally below your room.
The Edgewater Hotel was built on Pier 67 in 1962 for the World's Fair and has occupied its position over Puget Sound ever since — the only hotel in Seattle literally built over the water. The Beatles stayed here in 1964 and famously fished from their windows; the hotel has maintained the connection with carefully calibrated nostalgia without letting it dominate the property's contemporary identity. The lodge-style design, with exposed timber beams and river-rock fireplaces, references the Pacific Northwest's wilderness aesthetic rather than the urban hotel standard.
The 223 rooms fall into two categories: the over-water rooms, which have direct views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains from windows that extend to the floor, and the city-facing rooms, which have Seattle skyline views. The over-water rooms on the upper floors are the most dramatically positioned hotel rooms in Seattle — the sound of the water below is audible when the windows are open, and the view of the ferry traffic is unobstructed.
Six Seven restaurant, on the ground level over the water, serves a Pacific Northwest seafood menu in a dining room where the floor-to-ceiling windows create the sensation of eating on the Sound rather than beside it. The hotel's proximity to the downtown waterfront promenade and the Seattle Aquarium makes it the most neighbourhood-connected waterfront hotel in the city.
The Edgewater is Seattle's most atmospheric solo hotel — an over-water room with a Sound view, the Six Seven restaurant, and the waterfront promenade below constitute a self-contained Seattle experience that requires no further curation. The hotel's lodge aesthetic creates an interior calm that the glass-and-steel downtown towers cannot match. See all solo retreat hotels →
An over-water Edgewater room with the Sound below, a Six Seven dinner watching the evening ferry traffic, and the Olympic Mountain sunset constitute the most romantically specific anniversary Seattle offers. The Beatles connection is either relevant to your anniversary story or it isn't — the hotel treats it with the appropriate lightness. See all anniversary hotels →
