The Langham, Seattle is a future high-rise luxury hotel in Seattle, Washington, United States. It is scheduled to open in 2026 with 187 rooms and suites operated by the Langham Hospitality Group. The 42-story building will incorporate the facade of the Terminal Sales Annex, a historic landmark on the site at 1931 2nd Avenue. The building was designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates and Ankrom Moisan Architects. [1]
The project, originally named Hotel Clare, was announced in 2014 by Columbia West Properties and Pineapple Hospitality with the sale of the southwest corner of 2nd and Virginia for $16 million. [2] A 24-story condominium tower with 175 units was approved by the city government for the site in 2006 and was later revised to 39 stories in response to a zoning change. [3] Columbia West proposed a 39-story high-rise on the site in 2008 as part of a twin residential and hotel project but later abandoned plans. [4] The initial design, made by Ankrom Moisan Architects in 2015, was a 17-story hotel with 208 rooms and retail that would incorporate the Terminal Sales Annex. [5] Pacific Eagle, the U.S. arm of Hong Kong-based real estate company Great Eagle Holdings, acquired the property in December 2016 for $18 million. [6]
Pacific Eagle unveiled new plans for a 42-story hotel on the site in 2018 and hired Tokyo-based Kengo Kuma & Associates to redesign the project. [7] [8] The submitted design included 242 hotel rooms, 209 condominium units, two levels of co-working space, and 6,700 square feet (620 m2). [9] Following an initial design review meeting, the tower's footprint was reduced and a large mural was added to the side of the Terminal Sales Annex, which would jut out from the bottom of the building. [10] The co-working element of the project was dropped in 2020 and replaced with co-living spaces in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. [11] The Downtown Seattle Design Review Board formally approved development of the project in November 2021. [12]
In September 2022, the Langham Hospitality Group announced that it would acquire the project and operate the hotel as The Langham, Seattle. [13] Construction is scheduled to be complete in 2026. [1]
The Langham, Seattle is planned to be 42 stories tall with 187 luxury hotel rooms and suites and 200 apartments. [1] Its design, a collaboration between Kengo Kuma and local firm Ankrom Moisan Architects, uses a series of setbacks to reference the Art Deco and Gothic Revival architecture of historic buildings in Downtown Seattle. [14] The landmarked facade of the Terminal Sales Annex will be incorporated into the new building, protruding from the base, and its interior will be remade into amenity spaces. [10] The top of the Terminal Sales Annex will be converted into an outdoor terrace used by hotel patrons. [13] An automated parking garage under the tower will have space for 158 vehicles and 250 bicycles. [15]
