Maxwell to Open in Seattle in March 2010
DECEMBER 7, 2009 - The Maxwell Hotel, an independent family-owned hotel located at the base of Queen Anne hill adjacent to the Seattle Center, will open its doors to guests in March 2010.
The Maxwell's proximity to many of Seattle's noted landmarks, city icons and arts organizations provides guests with countless activities within an easy walk, bus, monorail or cab ride.
The most recent addition to Columbia West Properties' hospitality portfolio-which includes the Watertown Hotel and the University Inn in the University District, and the Ramada Inn in downtown Seattle-The Maxwell is the first hotel that Columbia West Properties has built. The hotel will feature 140 guestrooms, an indoor pool, an exercise facility, an espresso bar, 1,600 square feet of meeting space and 3,000 square feet of ground floor retail space.
'The Maxwell, named after my son, is a true labor of love for us. From the pineapple mosaic that symbolizes hospitality to the swimming pool tiles painted by local children, guests will find thoughtful personal touches throughout the property,' said Michelle Foreman Barnet, president and COO of Columbia West Properties. 'In addition, we've begun partnering with our neighboring businesses, some of Seattle's top arts organizations, to provide our guests with unique and unforgettable experiences.'
Conveniently located on Roy Street between Third Avenue North and Nob Hill Avenue in downtown Seattle, The Maxwell is just steps away from the Seattle Opera, Pacific Northwest Ballet, SIFF Cinema, Intiman Theatre, Seattle Repertory Theatre, Teatro ZinZanni, Seattle Children's Theatre, Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum, Pacific Science Center and the iconic Space Needle.
