InterContinental Bellevue at the Avenue debuts redefining luxury accommodation in the Pacific Northwest
InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, announces that InterContinental Bellevue at the Avenue is open to guests. This 208-room luxury hotel, situated within the $1bn+ Avenue Bellevue complex developed by Fortress Development, marks the brand’s debut in the Pacific Northwest, setting a new standard for luxury accommodations in the region.
With breathtaking views of Lake Washington and downtown Seattle, InterContinental Bellevue at the Avenue is poised to become a premier destination for local, regional, and global travelers. General Manager Haje Roger Thurau, a 30-year international hospitality veteran, stated, "We welcome guests with extraordinary amenities and contemporary comforts, reflecting Bellevue's unique charm and the brand’s legacy of luxury."
An Urban Oasis
Guests will be captivated by a design inspired by Bellevue's natural beauty, featuring organic aesthetics and a neutral color palette. The reception area showcases a marble front desk and an abstract mural showcasing Pacific Northwest landscapes. CE LA VI Bellevue, the hotel’s chic cocktail lounge, features a stunning chandelier of hand-blown glass pieces. The 190 guestrooms and 18 suites and family rooms, including a 2,000-square-foot two-bedroom Presidential Suite, offer expansive views and sophisticated touches with high-quality finishes.
Events & Occasions
Positioned across two floors and connected by a sky bridge to the hotel, the conference center is an exceptional event venue featuring 12,000 square feet of versatile indoor and outdoor event space. Tailored for high-end meeting and event planners, this space offers nine elegantly appointed rooms, including a 4,250-square-foot grand ballroom and a 2,275-square-foot junior ballroom. The Conference Center is designed for exclusive, high-profile events with a single-entry point ensuring complete privacy.
