Discover the power of having two state-of-the-art convention facilities located in the heart of a compact, vibrant downtown center.

Seattle’s central retail, dining and cultural hub is the Pike-Pine Corridor—two streets that stretch from the world-famous Pike Place Market, through downtown, and up to the eclectic Capitol Hill neighborhood, with tons to do all along the way. Attendees will have easy access to world-class hotels and restaurants, vibrant arts and cultural institutions, and signature retail shops. The best part is that everything is within six short blocks of the Seattle Convention Center (SCC).

By the numbers:

  • Downtown Seattle is just 8 blocks wide, and is very compact and walkable.
  • There are nearly 17,000 hotel rooms in Seattle, with 7,000+ within an 11-block radius of SCC.
  • More than 800 restaurants and bars are located downtown.

With dozens of hotels and two convention center buildings in the downtown core, this tool shows the proximity of each hotel to both SCC buildings (Arch and Summit). Simply click on a hotel to get started.
