InterContinental Hotels & Resorts announces the opening of InterContinental Bellevue at the Avenue. This 208-room luxury hotel, nestled within the $1 billion Avenue Bellevue complex developed by Fortress Development, represents the brand’s inaugural venture in the Pacific Northwest. Setting a new benchmark for luxury accommodations, it promises an unparalleled experience for both leisure and business travelers.
A Landmark of Luxury
Boasting breathtaking views of Lake Washington and downtown Seattle, InterContinental Bellevue at the Avenue is set to become a premier destination for local, regional, and global visitors. General Manager Haje Roger Thurau, a hospitality expert with 30 years of international experience, 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
Designed to capture Bellevue’s natural beauty, the hotel’s interior features organic aesthetics and a soothing neutral color palette. The reception area greets guests with a stunning marble front desk and an abstract mural depicting Pacific Northwest landscapes. CE LA VI Bellevue, the hotel’s stylish cocktail lounge, dazzles with a chandelier of hand-blown glass pieces. The 190 guestrooms and 18 suites, including a lavish 2,000-square-foot Presidential Suite, offer expansive views and sophisticated touches with high-quality finishes.
Events & Occasions
Spread across two floors and connected by a sky bridge to the hotel, the conference center offers 12,000 square feet of versatile indoor and outdoor event space. Ideal for high-end meetings and events, the center features nine elegantly appointed rooms, including a 4,250-square-foot grand ballroom and a 2,275-square-foot junior ballroom. Designed for exclusive, high-profile events, the center ensures complete privacy with a single-entry point. Wedding parties can enjoy the Avenue Luxe package, which includes seamless arrival experiences, impeccable service, chef-driven menus, and exclusive onsite vendor partnerships.
