With a West Coast debut that’s as provocative and bold as its name, Moxy Seattle Downtown’s opening represents a disruptive shift in the future of the city’s hotel industry.
Now open at 1016 Republican Street, in the heart of downtown Seattle’s hottest neighbourhood, South Lake Union, the property welcomes Fun Hunters with a spirited hotel experience unlike any other.
ÃAt Moxy, we believe in the transformative power of play, and we’re excited to bring this vibrant concept to downtown Seattle as we invite our guests to come play with us,Ã said Vicki Poulos, Senior Global Brand Director, Moxy Hotels.
Colorado-based Stonebridge Companies is the developer and property manager behind this latest addition to Marriott International’s experiential brand that debuted in 2014 with the opening of Moxy Milan. Boasting 146 rooms spread over eight floors with flexible event space in the lobby, the opening of Moxy Seattle brings to the city a fun and stylish hotel for both locals and visitors alike.
Jerry Stotler is the Captain at the helm of Moxy Seattle Downtown, the brand’s twist on the general manager position. ÃAt Moxy Seattle Downtown, we are focused on providing our guests with more than a place to crash,Ã said Stotler. ÃMoxy doesn’t take life too seriously and is a perfect spot for both visitors to the city and locals to hang out, meet new friends and have some fun!Ã
Designed by Ankrom Moison Architects, The Society and Deacon Construction, the Ãalways-on’ vibe is brought to life by a diverse mix of daily, weekly and monthly activities, such as weekly trivia game nights for spontaneous locals and travelers alike, including ÃCelebrityà Trivia Night, a spirited Q&A hosted by the best Ãcelebrityà Drag Queens in town. Moxy’s vibrant lobby is built for 24/7 socializing, including a 24-hour self-service grab-and-go bar counter and open plug-and-meet business areas complete with writable walls and 56-inch projection-ready televisions. Moxy Seattle Downtown is home to the city’s first hotel with a Ãteeter-totterà in its lobby entrance, as well as a high-octane pink punching bag located in the 24-hour fitness centre. From mobile check-in and keyless entry access to furiously fast Wi-Fi and under bed motion sensor lighting, guests can expect a tech-forward experience from start to finish.
ÃWe are proud to be part of this exciting collaboration with Marriott International, delivering our trademark Distinguished Hospitalityª experience to guests and locals through the innovative and playful design lens of Moxy,Ã said Navin Dimond, CEO and founder of Stonebridge Companies.
Moxy is a fun, experiential brand that combines stylish design and approachable service at an affordable price that’s easy to digest. The Moxy experience begins as guests check-in at the bar, instead of a traditional front desk, where they are greeted with a complimentary ÃGot Moxy’ cocktail along with their room key. The cosy bedrooms, ranging from 195 to 205 square-feet at Moxy Seattle Downtown, feature a new open storage concept via the brand’s signature peg wall for hanging clothes and jackets instead of a closet, giving guests ultimate flexibility. Bedrooms include a king size bed, 55-inch wall-hung flat-screen TVs, bathrooms with double rain showers, and more.
This is the 23rd Moxy Hotel to open globally and the sixth Moxy Hotel in the United States. In 2018 Moxy Hotels is expected to open in Chicago, Washington DC, Memphis, Atlanta, Munich, and more.
