WhyHotel Continues West Coast Expansion with Launch of Seattle Pop-Up Hotel
WhyHotel, an alternative lodging service that operates pop-up hotels in newly built, luxury apartment buildings, today announced plans to launch a new pop-up hotel in Seattle, Washington, highlighting the company's continued efforts to expand on the West Coast, after recently announcing an office opening in San Francisco. The pop-up, launching in partnership with AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (NYSE: AVB), is scheduled to deliver in September of this year.
WhyHotel's Seattle pop-up will be located in the Avalon Belltown Towers property on 210 Wall Street, Seattle, WA, 98121, between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. The vibrant Belltown neighborhood provides immediate access to both Downtown Seattle and South Lake Union, as well as the waterfront, Pike Place Market, and the Olympic Sculpture Park. WhyHotel will occupy 50 fully furnished apartments in the 24-story, 275-unit residential high-rise. The property will provide both residents and hotel guests access to a best-in-class fitness center and a variety of both indoor and outdoor common areas and cooking spaces.
Founded in 2017, WhyHotel has expanded rapidly with pop-ups announced in DC, Baltimore, Virginia and Houston. In addition to pop-up expansions, the company recently launched a business unit dedicated to delivering its own ground-up, flexible-use assets called Hospitality Living. After expanding its executive team and opening a satellite office in San Francisco, the company is looking forward to announcing additional pop-up hotel locations throughout the remainder of 2019.
