Posted in Future, News on 17 September, 2015

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced that a Hyatt affiliate entered into a management agreement with SECO Development for a Hyatt Regency hotel in Renton, Washington. Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport is currently under construction and is expected to open in 2017.

The 12-story Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport is situated on a 5.5-acre lakefront site on Lake Washington. Capturing the beauty of the Puget Sound region, the hotel’s design will offer panoramic views of Downtown Seattle, the Olympic Mountains, Mt. Rainier, and Lake Washington. Another design feature that is part of the destination’s story is the hotel’s 12-floor design, in honor of the Seattle Seahawk’s 12th Man, the 12s, which is the given name for the team’s loyal fans.

Each of the hotel’s 347 rooms, including 31 suites, will be smartly configured to enhance work or play with seamless connectivity. The planned terrace gardens, glass art wall structures, and prominent local art will enhance the guests’ connection with the surrounding Pacific Northwest region.  Hotel guests will also have direct access to Lake Washington and the adjacent 57-acre Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, which features nature trails and numerous other recreational activities.

Guests will find culinary experiences worth sharing anytime and anywhere with dining options that will include a waterfront restaurant and bar with an outdoor dining terrace as well as private dining rooms. The hotel’s gourmet grab-and-go Market, located off the lobby, will provide convenient access to locally inspired meals, specialty coffee drinks, and snacks. In addition, a VIP lounge area known as the Regency Club, a full service spa, fitness center, and an indoor pool will be options for guests.

Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport is envisioned to be the premier hotel on Lake Washington, part of a mixed use Southport development, which will also include luxury apartments, three office towers, and retail space. Keeping guests conveniently connected to the places important to them, the hotel will be located nine miles northeast of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, 11 miles south of Downtown Seattle, and seven miles south of Bellevue. The city of Renton boasts numerous attractions and business destinations such as the Seattle Seahawks’ headquarters and practice facility and Boeing’s final assembly plant for 737 commercial aircraft.

“We are proud to announce that we are bringing the Hyatt Regency brand to Southport.  Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport is a hotel experience being designed to cultivate connections and offer memorable dining experiences, stimulating recreational facilities, and inspirational meeting services,” stated Michael Christ, CEO, SECO Development Inc. “We are delighted to be working with Hyatt and contributing to the economic vitality of the area with this new hotel.”
