CIVIC HOTEL SEATTLE
Our family welcomes you to Civic Hotel Seattle, a vibrant and intimate boutique hotel that combines the polish of a luxury property with the comfort of your neighborhood hangout. One of the few family-owned and operated properties remaining in the Emerald City, the Civic Hotel was reborn in 2019 from a design originally conceived for the 1962 World’s Fair. We honor Space Age optimism with our own spirit of innovation. Join us as we build our own “world of tomorrow.”
World of Tomorrow
Like the Space Needle that sits behind our property, the Civic Hotel was built for Seattle’s World’s Fair in 1962. We wanted to stay true to our mod 1960’s roots while updating the property to meet the needs of the modern traveler. Injecting a contemporary warmth into the streamlined aesthetic of the hotels’ mid-century design has allowed us to continue welcoming guests as we did when the doors first opened.
City of the future
Civic Hotel’s central location – at the intersection of 7th Avenue and Harrison St. – is steps away from the Space Needle and mere blocks from Pike’s Place Market and Seattle’s downtown shopping district. We are surrounded by shops, restaurants, and nightlife that offer and ideal introduction to our city. And for travelers looking to explore a bit more, we’re also a convenient gateway to Seattle’s diverse neighborhoods, flavors, and experiences.

Stay out of the (occasional) rain in style with Certain Standard’s colorful and sustainably manufactured umbrellas. Customize your minibar with Theo’s fair-trade, artisanal chocolates, Glassy Baby’s hand-blown votive candle holders, and DRY Soda’s naturally flavored and botanically inspired beverages.
