In the heart of downtown Seattle, LOTTE Hotel Seattle stands out not only for its luxury but also for its unique incorporation of a 118-year-old church. This historic structure, originally America’s first United Methodist Church built in 1908, has been preserved within the modern F5 Tower, offering a blend of history and contemporary design.
A Unique Architectural Blend
The F5 Tower, completed in 2017, houses the LOTTE Hotel Seattle and seamlessly integrates the historic church building. The hotel’s design honors the past while providing modern luxury, featuring Philippe Starck’s woodsy, nature-inspired decor that reflects Seattle’s logging history.
Inside, the church’s original pipe organ and stained glass windows remain, now serving as a backdrop for the Sanctuary Grand Ballroom. This space has become a premier venue for weddings and events, accommodating up to 920 guests for receptions.
Luxury and Service
LOTTE Hotel Seattle offers personalized luxury with its spacious suites and stunning views of Elliott Bay. The hotel’s commitment to service is evident in the meticulous care given to guest rooms, reflecting the respect and attention to detail rooted in Korean hospitality.
Dining and Wellness
The hotel’s Charlotte Restaurant & Lounge provides panoramic views and a menu featuring locally sourced Pacific Northwest cuisine. Guests can also enjoy wellness services at Le SPA de l’hôtel LOTTE, which offers upscale treatments with a view of the city.
